JuanEffenCarlos69 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm at a loss. I've been dealing with this issue for the better half of the weekend. Nothing I have done / found has worked.Whenever I remove my armor, open Race Menu, or get in front of certain light sources, my characters skin looks like a shiny glossy mess (screenshots attached). If my memory serves me correct, I haven't had this issue until I started installing some new mods recently, so this should be an easy fix right? Not really. I all but know its either a problem with... A) Mods I've recently installedor B) Me being an idiot with Bodyslide I would simply try to turn off the mods I suspect are the issue and see what that does, but I both want to keep these mods AND when I disable the mod I think is the culprit my save corrupts. I will continue to try to disable said mod but in the meantime that's a no-go. With that, I have found solutions to this issue ( https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/8324438-shiny-body-when-equippingunequippingloading/page-2 ) with DID work, until they didn't (replacing estrusfemalebody_1_s.dds with femalebody_1_s.dds renamed, as well as removing other "wet" textures). Like I said, this DID work, but now it doesn't. I may still have some loose files that I need to check on to apply said fix to. Referring to the above post, the main solution was to find where the game was routing to estrusfemalebody_1_s.dds and replace it, but I haven't found that line of code. I am thoroughly stumped. Please send help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanEffenCarlos69 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) I think I may have fixed it... Go to you overwrite/skse/plugins/chargen/presents, make a copy of the present you want to fix, and open the .jslot file. Do a search for "skinoverrides", and you should find this: "skinOverrides" : [{"firstPerson" : false,"slotMask" : 4,"values" : [{"data" : "textures\\actors\\character\\female\\estrusfemalebody_1_s.dds","index" : 7,"key" : 9,"type" : 2}]}], Either that, or the "data" line will be empty (which was the issue in my case). If you do have this in your data file, you can A) find femalebody_1_s.dds and rename it to estrusfemalebody_1_s.dds, B) get rid of the line of code, or C) change the code to read "textures\\actors\\character\\female\\femalebody_1_s.dds". If the "data" line is empty, copy "textures\\actors\\character\\female\\femalebody_1_s.dds" between the parentheses. From what I have found, this will not fix a present you are currently using, hence why I said to make a copy. When you load the game, load the new present, and you *should* be good to go! I say *should* because I have no idea what causes this, and my research has led me to believe that many things can be responsible. However, what is most likely your problem, has to do with this "data" line of code in your present. Hope this helps someone, because it took me forever to find anything about this online...

JuanEffenCarlos69 Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 hmm, after making a new present (slightly altering an old one) and trying this fix, I still appear to be having the same issue. I can also confirm that when you make a new present by altering another (which you have already tried this fix on) the fix carries over (on the .jslot, it doesn't actually work).I'll try to make another present, based off of one that DOESN'T have this fix already done on it, and I'll see if that fixes anything. If anything, I'll then try to do the fix on the new present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmsmasher Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Did you try installing a different female skin mod? This is probably as simple as you having a female skin mod installed that looks like this.. If you ever installed mods manually you might want to consider a fresh install of skyrim, or you can simply delete your textures and meshes folders then verify file integrity with steam.

I might have some others, but I'll have to comb through my mod list to double check. I would just try to disable this mod, but a lot of other mods I have require this mod, and idk if it would completely mess everything up. I might just try to delete all my textures and see if that works... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmsmasher Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Then what's the problem with just deleting the texture folder in your skyrim data folder? Mo2 does not save it's files in the skyrim folder but in a separate folder, deleting that folder will not mess up your mods whatsoever. Simply delete the meshes and the textures folder (or more specifically the actor ones), verify file integrity with steam and if that does not fix it you will know that it's an issue with your mods and not some loose residual file.
