I backed up the vanilla game files on my first clean install, and have been doing exactly what you say above.

*busily fixes up recordings and drops them in the override folder, as above*

Indeed, it works! So here's the soundset. Please, everyone, do let me know if you use this soundset and/or enjoy it. Constructive criticism is also appreciated. :-)

cheers,

Er, other than the initial work of cloning the install (basically, following the directions for a standard multi-install, just doing it manually instead of with the tool) I haven't really manually moved around much. As I said, new install (and a new game started on it - I certainly don't try to load old savegames in new installs!) I don't add/subtract mods during a playthrough.

Anyway, I believe I discovered the source of the problem, in any case - I'm guessing it was the "Facestab" component from TB#TWEAKS that did it, as that mod appears in the changelog of the .cre file. I'm guessing it attempts to use something the animation file doesn't account for.

I fixed things by simply directly dropping the .cre file from the Aurora folder back in the Override folder.

Adding changelogs. (There are no changes in the animation file; I'm just adding it for completeness' sake.)

...aaaaand fixed by re-pasting the "toolscrl.bam" from TobEx back into the override folder (it was biffed by CtB earlier, I believe, which shouldn't have made it not load, but maybe loading order is important?)

Anyway, bug recorded for the ages. Cheerio!
