How do I set the game manually in Bodyslide

[BigDaddyRat]

I just installed Skyrim SE and have downloaded Bodyslide. When I go to activate bodyslide it doesn't recognize the game. I've started the game, tried to set the path manually, but can't get the mod to point to the game. When I start bodyslide it doesn't have a skin mesh and shows the "no image" on the body in preview. Help...Please!!!

Make sure that BodySlide Studio points to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\

or wherever steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\Data\ resides on your computer

Since it's already installed,

1. Open BodySlide Studio
2. Click on the settings button in the lower right hand corner of the BodySlide window
3. The Settings panel will pop open. Under the heading "Game", at the top of the menu,
   you'll see Target Game and Game Data Path. Game Data Path is where the path noted above needs to be put.
4. (in mine) override warning is checked
5. (in mine) BSA Textures is checked
6. (in mine) Left Mouse Pan is unchecked
7. (in mine) Background color is an empty field
8. Data Files: All entries in my setting are checked.
9. Also make sure the reference skeleton (see the bottom of the settings menu) is pointing to res\skeleton_female_sse.nif (if it's a fem character?)... or wherever you've custom configured (idk, I'm not expert just running on default paths)
10. and at least in my setup, Root Node says "NPC Root [Root]"

- At least, that's what's in my File text field... so, ymmv

I've done all that. I have to manually set the game choice as the mod doesn't recognize it. The Slider Preset has a body mod listed but when I open BS no body is listed in the drop down and the body/outfit dropdown doesn't list any body either, cbbe or other wise. I've uninstalled every outfit and body mod I have as well as uninstalling bodyslide and nothing seems to help.

Don't know what I did, but it's working now.
