idiotjoe Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hello All, actual question in 2nd paragraph So a little backstory to set the mood: I have been collecting a vast amount of mods from Nexus, and developed quite a collection as most others have done before me. And this collection has spent a great deal of my time, but it brought me a bunch of joy. So in an effort to ensure i would never lose any of it, i decided to back them up. I went into my \Fallout 4\Data folder and copied all the esp and ba2 files there but then i decided i really hate myself and deleted the rest. I dont know how i managed to be so incredibly idiotic but somehow i manage. I really cant express how terrible i feel. I did manage to keep a list of them on paper so im going back to reinstall them, but my bodyslide preset i created is gone but somehow in game the preset i created is still being used by all npc and my character. Therefore i hope there is someway to find the file which is being used, the problem is i dont know where its being stored/pulled from. I read somewhere on here that the presets are kept in this folder (Fallout 4\Data\meshes\actors\character\characterassets), but as i said above i deleted it. My finger slipped, and im debating breaking both my hands again ( i broke my arm as a kid and my hand in college). So im asking where the preset i made/modifyed in bodyslide is located because it is still being used in game and i would like to actually back it up. Thank you for your time, im in a real pickle any advice is welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeir Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 What is in the character assets folder is the mesh BodySlide makes using your preset. BodySlide presets are kept in Tools/BodySlide/SliderPresets. If you deleted it, then it's gone, and you have to remake it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idiotjoe Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Unfortunately, that makes the most sense. Outside of the game im unable to find my preset since, i think it was in the batch of files i deleted. However for some reason, it still works/shows up in game. Is there anyway this can be explained or used to help me find the proper preset? Because i can still see the preset working in game im holding hope for some kind of happy ending. Also are presets saved as NIF files? because i managed to find the following NIF files which might explain it? 1st person female body1st person female hands female bodyfemale hands thank you for your response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeir Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It might be your mod manager saved your body and outfit meshes somehow.Presets are saved as .xml. BodySlide uses those .xml files to generate meshes. Meshes are what comes in .nif form.You can open the body mesh in NifSkope and try to copy it as close as you can in BodySlide.
