Deformed Bodies Glitch

[Chaimberlain]

Good evening Nexus,

I have come to you today with an issue that has evaded me for the better part of a week wherein it seems that the body weight triangle slider is broken. The result is that various bodies, both player and NPC, have a deformed appearance where nothing is proportional or is even the proper size. What I have been able to determine is that, by entering Looksmenu, I am able to relieve the problem for the player character by moving the aforementioned triangle slider to either one of the three extremes, or to dead center. I am not what I would call an inexperienced modder, but I have been wholly unable to track down the source of this glitch. That said, here is a list of what I do know:

This is not caused by CBBE as it is present on both males and females (I do not have a male body replacer).

It is applied consistently between the player and NPCs since not all NPCs are deformed.

The .esp that comes with the mod "4K Face" somehow relieved the issue at one point, but due to compatibility problems with that mod it is not a permanent solution.

This is not caused by a skeletal mod, it is present regardless of whether or not a skeleton is installed.

I have been able to eliminate AAF or any other animation mod as the source.

It is present in a new game and applies to both Nate and Nora.

I am trying to upload screenshots, but the Nexus is not letting me atm. They show asymmetrical limbs, with the left side looking deflated, as if it were a rubber toy run over by an 18-wheeler, the breasts pressed into the body, and the back of the head also deflated so that it loses about 30% of its volume.

I am at my wits end with this, if anyone has seen it before, please let me know how to fix it. I will continue attempting to upload screenshots.

Thank you all in advance.

Better late then never...

 

 

This issue appears to be caused by corrupted CBBE or body/face files which seems to sometimes just happen after restarting the game 100x in a row. Reinstalling CBBE files and anything that touches body files is worth a try.

 

I had this issue also, reinstalled CBBE (and dismembered version) and it appears to be resolved for now.

One other thing that can do this, is when at least one part of the body weight settings are set past the threshold of 1.0

The further out past that threshold, the more the body will distort. There are body triangle mods that can affect this, with settings to (usually) 1.0, or a person can manually edit the weights of a preset (either face or body) by opening the file, and tinkering with it's weight settings.

 

0.32 is about as close to zero'd out as you can get in the triangle if you are setting all of them to try to center it in the triangle.

I found the TRUE cause of this issue, I was a bit off.

 

The issue is when a mod adjusts the RACE Human that is set for LooksMenu Customization Compendium, what happens is some mods can adjust the BONES which the looksmenu refers to, which can result in a flat head or weird triangles going nowhere.

 

Anyway it seems making a mergepatch with LMCC as a overwrite resolved it for me.

 

Hope this helps people out down the line.

 

 

 

PS. The mod that was messing mine up was the IFC - Immersive Fallout Combat. I did try to resolve conflicts but it seems that is not good enough, any adjustments or additions of bones messes looksmenu up,. (you can mess with everything else, just not the bones!)

That's actually a really interesting point. I was looking at some hair color mods earlier this morning. One or two of them, that had pre-colored eyebrows that did not match the dye of the hair. There was mention that it would conflict with, and not work alongside other mods that affected the Race.
