BodySlide Outfits Contraptions Armor Rack Issue

[Azu942]

So I'm having an issue with 2pac's Skimpy Outfits, modified by BodySlide, and the armor racks supplied in the new Contraptions DLC.

The mannequins conform to the BodySlide mesh automatically, and there are no texture issues with the outfit itself. The mannequin's texture underneath the outfit, however, is marred by a solid black splotch that stretches over different parts of the mannequin.

I've tried converting the mannequin's own .nif file in BodySlide and building it to my CBBE body's specs. The nude mannequin now matches my CBBE body in proportions, still with no texture issues, but the issue persists when I put an outfit on it.

Anyone have any ideas?

The problem may be the skeleton.nif file's relationship with the mannequin texture. Messing with the skeleton.nif file in any way ruins the mannequin's functionality, and it does not have its own mesh. Overlaying the mannequin's texture onto the CBBE reference results in the same texture issues shown above. It seems that when you place an outfit on the mannequin, it swaps the mannequin mesh for the character's mesh - in this case, my custom CBBE body. It then uses the default, unmodified mannequin texture, which is incompatible with the CBBE mesh, resulting in the black splotch and deforming of the texture.

Anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

I'm sure someone is working on a fix, perhaps Osunius, he is usually very quick to add support for previous DLC but wasn't perhaps expecting to have to do anything for this DLC (I haven't followed the modding releases and updates so this might already be the case). DLC adds the mannequins as a new race, just like PowerArmor or a Deathclaw for that matter so there is obviously some tweaking needed to make it not only support Bodyslide but also to use the exact same shape the player have. If I remember correctly don't DDP and Elionora both made a mannequin already? Pretty sure they didn't have these issues so if you don't want to wait for a "official" fix I'd suggest you check those mods out and apply it to the DLC mannequin.
