So I've been trying to make a tongue piercing for my Sole Survivor. The mesh itself is looking just fine, the thing is I can't get it to fuction properly regarding the various bone weights I've tried attaching it to. Attaching the mesh to the "HEAD bone" makes the piercing visible but static. Attaching it to "skin_bone_C_MasterMouth" from "Femalemouth_facebones" makes the piercing seemingly disappear altogether. I've also tried in desperation to attach the mesh in some ways to all the bones that may have got something to do with talking animations but nothing worked (That didn't surprise me though) What am I missing? If someone has any tip or idea of what I'm doing wrong, or might even know what I should do, please tell me! Cheers ~Maya~

First things first, I've editted some meshes myself before, so I roughly know what I'm doing. I've editted the "top lipF" mesh from this mod (linked below) so that it resembles a tongue piercing. There is just one final thing and I can't for the life of me figure this out; how to make it so that the piercing moves when my character speaks! I've attached it to the "head bone" so that it is at least visible, just not moving. I've also tried attaching it to the bones of the mouth in outfitstudio and it seems like it should work but then the piercing disappears in game. Removing the "head bone" makes it appear again but then it floats around the head. I looked at the mesh in Nifskope for a bit but that didn't really do all that much. I am basically clueless at this point. Can someone please help me? ~Maya~ Mod in question: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/31924

I've managed to make the tongue piercing visible. But it still does not move when my character speaks. I think it's got something to do with nifskope, but I just can't find out what exactly I should do to fix this. I have noticed that there is a NiNode "HEAD" but no "MOUTH". I don't even know if something like that exists, I'm basically clueless at this point. Any help would be appreciated!

It's okay. At least it's visible now, that's one step in the right direction ^^

Thanks for the reply! I tried it and while it did make the piercing visible in game, it was now floating around the head for some reason. It also wasn't moving whenever my character was talking. Maybe I am overlooking something, I haven't got the faintest idea.

So I've been trying to make a tongue piercing for a gothic sole survivor. To do that I'm using the meshes of from this mod, https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/31924. (For personal use only of course!!) I simply took the top lip mesh and placed it at the right spot on the tongue. I wanted to see if it was placed right so I checked in-game. No problems so far. Next I unpacked the game's bsa, and used the nif "femalemouth_facebones". I attached the piercing mesh to the bone that moves the front of the tongue. How simple can this be, I thought. Well, after I did this the mesh is just not there anymore. Nothing to see when my character talks, even though it still shows up in outfitstudio. I have checked google and tried to find a problem with the mesh using nifskope. I found nothing. As far as I know it should work but it just doesn't. Can someone please help me? ~peace~
