I have squares on my skin :(

[Vashandris]

Hey guys, I'm going nuts over here with this issue!
The mods that I use and I think are relevant are as follows:
-vtaw 8 +bodislides and materials and vtaw 7 +bodyslides and materials
-CBBE + kneefix
- FSM skin texture mod. (changed it to Serene Skin and IDA body, and default CBBE, the problem persists )

- Unique Player
- Mod Organizer 2.0

Now, when I equip any of vtaw boots AND I receive some damage from npcs, instead of the skin changing to bloody and grimy, it changes to this weird square pattern...
When I go around barefeet, everithing seems to be fine.
So the skin generated with the base nude body is fine, but the body generated alongside the boots from vtaw set are problematic.
Any suggestion what I should do, please? :/

Do you have both Valkyries skin/mesh/body-mod installed and CBBE at the same time? This was the culprit for me this one time.

Hi, you can look here and will probably find your answer (even when it is not satisfying):

looking at the image, it looks like either an Overlay Conflict (which can be possible with something like body tattoos and something else that is also considered an overlay conflicting with each other, can be similiar to what is present in that image, although typically not as severe as that), or 2 bodies are being applied to the character (merged), thus a much bigger problem and would be a potentially more likelyhood of being applicable to the image. although 2 bodies being merged typically results in far more serious body deformation, but still, it might be what is happening here (the Triangles).

 

essentially, boots & heels (basically footware), are built using the Custom Body as as Reference (especially true for Heels, as it must be used for Heels, However for boots this is almost always the case as well) (meaning for example that CBBE Body is present and likewise built for the feetware, unlike other clothing which can be built without a body reference, this can be identified, when looking at said boots/heels in the bodyslide, and noticing their is a body present.), so this means that because of that, it can be possible to have 2 bodies being applied to the character i suspect this could be Specifically an issue with a mod such as Unique Player (as its far less likely a problem using the Default Method), which could effectively mean that 2 bodies are being applied to the character, hence mesh corruption (the triangles in the image)

 

so with the above into consideration, you mention no issues with bare feet - thus no additional body is being applied, but when you equip the boots the additional body is now being applied/merged (as it contains the female CBBE body as a reference as part of the Boots) - (this does of course assume that the female body is indeed added as reference for the boots, which is typically the case with footware), the issue is present, hence my assumption it could very well be 2 bodies being merged, now its not the same in the traditional sense, as you would get severe body deformation, but still something to think about,

 

now, the actual most likleyhood culprit, is issues with blood decals, hence the triangles where blood should be, as such could be a Blood Texture mod that is causing that issue, either a conflict, or the blood texture mod has issues, or an issue with how the custom body is installed.

 

as such:

 

1. you mention blood, if you are using Enhanced Blood Textures mod, use the Basic Version, instead of the Standard Version, if Applicable, (standard version is considered unstable, accordingly, as such could be a potential culprit), also disable any other blood texture you might have, their are a few out their, should the basic still not solve it, try disable the mod altogether to see if that solves it.

 

2. if that character has body tattoos try removing them and see if the issue persists. this is based on if its caused by 2 overlays conflicting with each other, unique player mod might potentially be acting as an Overlay, and thus can have issues with other overlays such as body tattoos, or anything that could of been added via Looksmenu. and also Body Overlays can also typically Have Issues with Transparent Clothing, which can also very likely cause them triangles that you are seeing in your image.

 

3. Try CBBE itself and other mods, Excluding Unique Player to see if the issue is Potentionally Unique Player, and also to see if the issue is Potentially due to CBBE with M02

 

4. if the above works fine, then try adding Unique Player back into the Mix, and see if the issue comes back, then we can see if it may be an issue with Unique Player working with M02, or CBBE or Both.

I thank everyone for the responses.

I tried changing the skin textures, the same problem persists, but only with vtaw 8 wardrobe. His previous clothing sets have no issues.

 

Do you have both Valkyries skin/mesh/body-mod installed and CBBE at the same time? This was the culprit for me this one time.

Nope, I'm always careful to have only one set of skin textures active at a time.

Yikes! This is it, vtaw 8 wardrobe is just not made for battle! :(
