I can't get physics to work in DX necromancer robes

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, lately, after many years of not doing it, I started customizing my character with clothes with physics again.
The last time I used Bodyslide in a deep way was quite a few years ago and I admit I forgot a lot.
So, I installed many other mods with physics and, obviously selecting the various pieces of the set and assigning them the right body with Bodyslide, everything worked perfectly, except for the one in the title, I've been trying for two days but I just can't get the physics to work, can someone please give me a hand?

Let's start by saying that I use CBBE with 3BA (3BBB), I installed all the additional mods requested and in fact the physics works perfectly with the other mods.
For this one I installed, following the guide, first the original one for UNP, then I installed the conversion for CBBE not 3BA and finally the HDT version HDT-SMP Physics and 3BBB Bodyslides.
The dress works well ingame but it doesn't have the physics as it should have having installed the HDT SMP version!
I can't get out of it, I tried on bodyslide to select the right body (which is the same one that with other dresses makes the physics work perfectly) but nothing, it doesn't work!

Can someone kindly give me a hand on how to do it?
Following the various posts of the users on the mod page one also recommends deleting the meshes of the UNP version, I tried that too but nothing, it doesn't work!
I'm going out of my mind!

Hello.

I don't know much about Robes, but first have you tried the new HDT ? FSMP ? This one: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57339

And second, maybe you need robes with SMP already configured ?

Like these one's here:

Hope it help. Good luck 🤗

I struggled for a while (some weeks?) getting SMP working correctly and finally fixed it.

1. If you do not have Anniversary Edition, use SMP and not FSMP.

2. If you have AE, use FSMP and not SMP.

When I upgraded to AE, I did not uninstall SMP when I added FSMP, and my SMP didn't work no matter what I tried. When I uninstalled SMP, then everything magically started working.

Thanks everyone for the replies, I have the AE version and I'm using FSMP and not SMP, precisely because of incompatibility with other mods but still there is no way to make that dress work properly!

All other mods with physics, hair, clothes, body and whatnot work perfectly, except that dress there!

 

@FelipeMA88
I installed the first link, last, first the original UNP, then the CBBE conversion and finally that one, but not the other two, I could try to install them and see what happens!
I'll update you!

My game uses 3BA, not UNP. If you're also using 3BA and let me know exactly which DX Necromancer Robe mod you're using I can try installing it to see if I can get it to work. I haven't tried that mod because it seems to be UNP which I don't have. Let me know if you want me to try a 3BA variant (which I think I found but might not be what you're using).

Just a quick follow up. I can already see all sorts of issues with these installation files. I'll see if I can get them to work with 3BA SMP then let you know what I did. Out of the box they have errors.

Hi, Vatanabe. Okay, I have an installation procedure you can use which should work with CBBE 3BA and the DX Necromancer robes. I just tested it.

1. The requirements on the installation list say to use HDT-SMP (Skinned Mesh Physics) at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

This is obviously wrong for any Anniversary Edition users. I realize you know this, but I'm explicitly stating this for any other readers who may come across this post. The AE users must use FSMP and not the above. Even if they have FSMP installed, adding the above will break their SMP.

2. The requirements say to use the CBBE BodySlide files. This is also wrong. CBBE and CBBE 3BA are not the same thing. I ignored the installation of that (knowing it would complicate and possibly break things). I did not install this.

3. The 3BA bodyslide files were missing a group. Outfits for CBBE 3BA need a group to tell BodySlide they need to use the 3BA group and not the CBBE group. I had to create a group file. I'm attaching it here if you want it. Just stick it in your BodySlide's Group directory.

4. Once you have the group file, select the group in BodySlide and batch build it to the 3BA preset of your choice.

That's it. Building any other files aside from what's in that group file or installing any other mods such as SMP or CBBE can cause conflicts and problems.

Post script: I don't feel bad not spotting it earlier because I'm legally blind and don't actually see letters when I read. But I just noticed a bit ago that the BodySlide files you linked are 3BBB and not 3BA. In my experience they're pretty similar, but they're not exactly the same. In the DX Necromancer clothing I doubt you'll spot any compatibility issues (I just finished testing that), but in outfits like Vtaw Wardrobe 5 which says it's 3BA but is really 3BBB, I noticed the body shape doesn't exactly match, especially in the butt area. You should probably try to avoid using 3BBB with a 3BA body unless you have no choice, and even then, just keep an eye out for body shape mismatches when mixing clothing pieces between mods.
