shiny skin again

[DarkPl4yer]

I had already started a topic about the same problem and I thought it was solved last time but this hell is haunting me again, I researched this bug and found several solutions for this shiny skin that seems to be underneath the normal texture that for some reason manifests itself only on my character, at the beginning of a new save game she doesn't appear but for some reason later on without any warning she always appears after I save the game and exit and come back later and she seems to vote on all saves even though she doesn't have similar

 

Just a example:

 

even though I removed all conflicts with skin mods that changed the femalebody and the racemenu presets that caused this when loaded

fwiw, if you happen to be using Racemenu presets for your player, make sure to check the associated jslot. Sometimes, there's a missing dds (texture) callout for the default body slot here

   "skinOverrides" : [
      {
         "firstPerson" : false,
         "slotMask" : 4,
         "values" : [
            {
               "data" : "",
               "index" : 7,
               "key" : 9,
               "type" : 2
            }
         ]
      }
   ],

Note the data entry is empty ("")

 

it should look ~something~ like this

   "skinOverrides" : [
      {
         "firstPerson" : false,
         "slotMask" : 4,
         "values" : [
            {
               "data" : "textures\\actors\\character\\female\\femalebody_1_s.dds",
               "index" : 7,
               "key" : 9,
               "type" : 2
            }
         ]
      }
   ],

The omission will afaik (also) cause the shiny body issue, although it's probably not the only mechanism that can or does cause it.

idk if u going to se this comment but almost all of my downloaded presets do not have these lines, they only appear after the shiny texture appears and I save the preset with the shiny texture, so I went there and added these lines that you showed(except TiniaaXL presets from Groanth they already have these lines). the lack of these lines that you posted in the presets would be a problem with my game or with the presets being saved incorrectly by the creators who post them?

I have no idea about the "why?" It could be the presets themselves (try downloading them to a folder and validating them prior to installation, by inspection, using Notepad++ or similar to ensure they're not missing the noted entry, if they natively include the noted code fragment), or it could be something that happens during save of a Racemenu preset, or during save of the active Racemenu instance, or during save of the game, or adding or removing some mod, or something else. "Glitches" are something I've learned happen with Skyrim...with some regularity.

 

Sorry for the answer. I really can't answer with authority. Just a player.

the solution I found for this is to simply go into the game, load the preset and then overwrite it, saving the preset over it. Even doing this, these lines appear in the preset when using notepad++ and the skin shines stop appearing (honestly, it's better than having to write these lines in each preset using notepad. ty for ur time :smile: :thumbsup:
