Body Slide body type batching issues.

[Apis4]

Hi, I have looked around, and a) I know this is a problem some people have... b) I have not found a definitive answer in any of the blogs, videos, or on the BS/OS mod page. 

 

When I try to rebuild some clothing, which has BS files, to suit MY body replacer, I find that it does not work IN GAME even though it SAYS it has worked in BS/OS. 

 

I first go to CBBE bodies as my category, then with menu beneath choose CBBE Slim, since that is the one I installed via FOMOD when installing CBBE, then build... and get told my CBBE bodies have successfully been changed. 

 

Then I clear the categories, chose a clothing category, then batch build to CBBE Slim (clothed) and am told it has worked....         

 

..... but it only works for SOME clothing. 

 

Seems to have worked for all the CBBE clothing and seemingly armour/wearables that came with CBBE for the vanilla game... for example.... but then for others, it does not work. 

 

Most noticeably for heavily mesh dependent clothing mods, like the popular packs by Vtaw, and there's a few others. 

 

More, if I then go and manually mess with sliders....  taking down all the ones I do not want.... which make the chubby base CBBE what it is, and taking up the ones I want, like smaller boobs, thinner thighs, more narrow hips, rounder, but smaller butt etc etc... until I have something pretty much identical to slim look of my replacer....  it shows me in real time in the preview window this is working... and then when I build it, it says it worked......

 

....but even then, in game, NOPE, nothing, it does NOT work. 

 

The really crazy is thing is OCCASIONALLY, it seems SOMETIMES, SOME of the ones which DO NOT work, DO.... but only for the next immediate item of that kind I make in world.The next time I make the item, the rescale is gone. This happens especially with the actual bodies. That is to say, I will manually modify the body, or the clothing containing the body shape, specially paying attention in preview to the body, and it seems to work... but JUST ONCE. 

 

Other times I manually adjust every piece in an mod outfit.... and am told it worked... the preview shoed it work....... but when I make the outfit IN GAME, at least ONE piece, often the body, has NOT worked.... and there are wide hips, thighs, butts and boobs clipping out all over the place. 

 

This only happens with SOME outfits....  and there are some which seem to have a lot of object meshes too, which work fine, if I do not batch resize them, I manually edit them, and it all seems to work, they stay done, and all is well. 

 

So really looking for some help in FORCING the resizing for such ornery pieces as seem to be in some mods, to TAKE and STAY so I can actually USE the mods. Any experts which have some tips that want to share, please DO.

Sounds like something is missing.  Maybe the meshes go to a wrong location or the checkbox in front of the output path isn't checked. And for ingame morphing "Build Morphs" should be enabled. Could you post a screenshot of your Bodyslide window with preview the moment before you hit on "Build"?

I can try? I have NO idea how to do that.... but I see a paper clip at the bottom of this reply, so I guess I just screen shot, and attach the pic? I'll get on it ASAP.

Do these show what you want to see?

Also... this shows the difference between previews for CBBE Chubby, and CBBE Petite, for the same Outfit.. so BS is DEFINITELY making the changes..... they just do not take in game.

Yes, this is what I wanted. The output mesh path and "Build Morphs" are enabled and hitting on "Build" should change the shape of the outfit in game. Body and outfit should have the same shape to work as intended. But I see that the textures of the outfit are missing. So maybe something went wrong with the installation of Vtaw Wardrobe 8. Except you did something to hide the texture, because nudity wouldn't be allowed here. Vtaw often uses separate files for the main mod, additional materials and the Bodyslide conversion. You wrote that the outfits coming with CBBE are working. So I would assume that the installation of the Vtaw outfits is missing something and the problem does not lie within Bodyslide itself.
