Changing Body Slots makes item invisible

[Tiiara]

I stumbled upon a rather irritating problem while trying to wear two pieces of outer armor above each other.

 

I'm trying to wear both the CROSS Pre-War Cybernetics Torso by Niero and a Vanilla lather chest piece together. Both utilize the BodySlot 41 [A] Torso, so the most obvious solution for me was changing one of the two to something different. I used FO4Edit to copy the vanilla Armor_Leather_Torso as well as all of the the corresponding Armor Addons AA_Leather_Torso_* as new records into a new esp, changed the BOD2 - Biped Body Template of everything to 55 - Unnamed (Belt slots, according to modder resource) and saved.

 

I equiped the new Leather chest piece ingame but nothing is showing up. It's completely invisible.

 

Any idea what's happening here?

When I change the bod2 record back to 41 it shows up, so I'm sure I'm wearing the correct item. The ID is also corresponding with the esp plugin number.

You need to also change the slot on the variant under the ArmorAddon tab in the CK. That ought to fix your problem.

I am new to the creation kits for Fallout 4......I can not find a "variant" variable to change in the Add-on tab. Here is where I am looking: (1) I have loaded my modified esp (with changes from FO4Edit) into the CK. (2) I clicked the + sign next to armor add-on in file tree and found the item id that I wanted to change. (3) Right clicked the highlighted item and selected 'Edit' (this displayed an Armor Add-on display box which I am assuming is the Armor add-on tab that is being referenced above. But there is nothing on the displayed tab that references a variant or has any value that uses a body slot value (45 in my case).

 

Please help......what am i doing wrong?

 

oops......never mind...I figured it out.......should have clicked the + on the Armor instead of armor add-in on the tree.
