Bodyslide Builds not being used in game with Vortex

[Mordusx]

Zapping clothing items is a part of Bodyslide that allows you to remove or "zap" certain clothing elements, like pauldrons or chest pieces. My problem was actually because my character was low weight and i didn't also make my changes to the low weight sliders in bodyslide. It was a noob mistake. It's been a while since I modded.

 

 

Vortex doesn't seem to register the changes made to the femalebody.nifs. When I zapped clothing elemnts to my armor for example it registered those changes and allowed me to permanently save them. But it doesn't seem to register those changes with bodyslide and allow those to be saved in the same way.

What do you mean zapped clothing elements. I'm having this problem where when i update body slide nothing in the game changes. Ive been trying to get HDT to work. And i suspect body slide not letting me select the HDT body is the issue. How do i save them so they show up in the game? Thanks.

 

To get HDT to work you have to follow a pretty specific install order. Install your body. CBBE or UNP or whatever, then install XPMSE; you should get the most up to date version you can. Then you can install the HDT-PE. After that you can go into bodyslide and select the hdt body. If it is not in your options make sure you selected cbbe hdt bodyslide meshes when you installed bodyslide and or any of you bodies. If you don't have it already i would make sure you have skse and skyui as well. This way when you install xpmse you can see if it is working properly by going into its mcm menu. If you want physics with collisions I would recommend getting HeroedeLeyenda's cbbe body. Though it is not on nexus. You would install that after everything else including it's dependencies. A good way to test it is to get something like the sexy idle animation and running fnis then going in game to see if it is working. Even if you don't want the more adult features of the leyenda body, it still has the best looking physics(in my opinion.) Also if you need more help because I may not be able to answer all you questions on bodyslide; You can go to their discord and they are always willing to lend a hand. I think it is listed on the posts section of the bodyslide mod page.

Thank you for the suggestions. but my problem is no mater what body i choose or how ever exaggerated the body preset is every time i Load up skyrim nothing about the body changes. i put on smaller body and breast preset nothing changes. I put on a preset with tits 3 times the size of her head nothing changes in the game. I have CBBE XPMSE and HDT armor for CBBE and lots of body presets but none of the presets take so that makes me think the HDT CBBE body also isn't taking when i build it in bodyslide.

 

So I just feel stuck i've been messing with this for hours. I don't remember bodyslide ever not outputting the correct model to the game when i was modding Fallout 4. So i'm just not sure why I cant get bodyslide to out put the presets and body i choose. The only difference is when i was modding fallout 4 i was using NMM and now that im wanting to go back to skyrim the nexus files all want to defualt to Vortex so ive been trying to use vortex.

Did you try setting the sliders on both the low weight and high weight?

So after getting more outfits that support HDT the build seems to work for the outfits. But my base body doesn't change. So when my character isn't wearing a top there is no physics and the body is how it has been. But when i put on armor the HDT and the bodyslide body preset i pick now shows. Just strange that its not building for the base body. I do a batch build. so it should be building for everything. I did download the HeroedeLeyenda's preset and it wont ever show up in the bodyslide options. I downloaded them as a collection. After it didn't show up in body slide i uninstalled it and downloaded all the body's that mod offers separately no mater what they dont show up in the bodyslide drop down. Some body presets show up and others don't. I have no idea what it's so hit and miss.

Are you only batch building? If so make sure that the hdt body is part of the group. Try building the body seperately on its own. Hmm. When I have time I will try making a profile to investigate your problem and see if it shows up for me when installing the leyenda body. That body is for UNP, I don't know if you are using cbbe, but I think the bodyslide presets should still show up regardless. Again if you continue having issues I would highly recommend visiting the bodyslide discord server.

Oh i didn't realize that body wasn't CBBE. I just downloaded it based on your Recommendation. I usually batch build everything then go back and just build the body and it shows up in the preview in Body Slide but it doesn't display in the game. Again i'm using the most extreme body just to make sure i see the changes. And its there when the armor is on and its like the boobs and but are deflated one i change out of things. I don't want them that big all the time i just use it to make sure the change takes. So i'm making progress just need to figure out why the base body isn't changing.
