BodySlide Help Please?

[TimeOcean]

I am a bit new to modding and I have looked for help on this topic, but I have not yet seen anything that helps with my particular problem. I am trying to change the preset female body(s) of npc and pc alike. I know for the female npc(s) you have to change the femalebody_0 and femalebody_1, but I was only able to do it by accident and cannot seem to find out how I changed it. I have been completely unsuccessful at trying to change the player character's body. Can anyone help me with this?

 

Just for clarification purposes, I am not asking about anything related to outfits. I am just asking about how to change body(s).

By default, the player and NPCs use the same body meshes and textures. The only reason it wouldn't work is if you're using a custom race; you need to copy/paste the meshes and textures manually into that race's folders to get it to work.

 

1. Open BodySlide.

2. In 'Outfit/Body', select one of the bodies. Either 'CBBE Body' for the nude version, or 'CBBE NeverNude/CalUndies/CalUndies 2' for the underwear versions. HDT stuff requires other things, like XPMSE.

3. You can leave 'Preset' as it is (CBBE Slim is the default, or should be) or change it to something else if there's a preset you like and want to base your own preset on.

4. Move sliders how you want. You can click the 'Preview Small/Big' buttons to see your changes for the _0 and _1 meshes.

5. Click 'Save Preset'. Type in your preset name, and select which groups you want to use it. CBAdvanced is everything. Click 'Save'.

6. Make sure your preset is selected, then click 'Build'. BodySlide will then automatically install the meshes into the default race folder. If you use RaceMenu and want to use the Morphs, check the box for it before you click Build.

Thank you for the help. You were right, I was using a custom race. This has solved everything.

Ok, I've got a preset, and I've built it, I checked the box for RaceMenu, but it keeps saving as an XML file. I'm getting frusterated. Where the hell is this supposed race folder? I'm going mad here!
