Looks like a texture issue.

 

I'd suggest re-installing CBBE - or another female texture mod for CBBE.

You appear to have decided to use a UNP-family body model, like BHUNP, UUNP, UNP, etc

 

Bodyslide uses CBBE-family textures for its preview window. I'm not sure how to use UNP-family textures in Bodyslide, but afaik, as long as you have installed a UNP-family texture to support the UNP family body in-game, it should appear "correctly" once in-game.

 

^^ I got schooled in the post below. Wish I had known this a long long time ago!

I get why people opt for UNP family bodies, (I have both CBBE-3BBB and BHUNP installed, and I use BHUNP for some UNP followers I converted to BHUNP, which was difficult because of the breast issue you note), but I don't know how to get Bodyslide to use appropriate textures to display them correctly

 

So for my player, I opted for CBBE-3BBB, since it's handled without issue by Bodyslide. You *might consider doing the same if you can't jump the hurdle.

 

PS> Aside from the Bodyslide preview issue you're experiencing, when in Bodyslide, ALWAYS make sure to use the same type of PRESET as the BODY. If you use BHUNP, use only BHUNP presets. If you use CBBE, then only CBBE, if CBBE-3BBB, then only CBBE-3BBB, etc. In addition, use only outfits made for your chosen body type.

Those are the vanilla textures on CBBE meshes. Make sure you've installed correctly according to your mod manager, and have read the documentation for both BodySlide and CBBE.

 

 

 

Bodyslide uses CBBE-family textures for its preview window.

 

Incorrect. BodySlide only shows the texture the mesh looks for, which in this case are the textures in textures/actors/character/female. You have two conflicting and incompatible body mods installed, apparently with CBBE, or any CBBE-compatible retextures you may have installed, taking priority (installed/loaded last), so CBBE's textures are what's in the textures/actors/character/female folder. If you load BHUNP last/let it take priority, you'll find that it's then the CBBE textures are the ones messed up. It is always best to stick to just one body mod, and replacer follower bodies to match everything else.

 

Also, CBBE and BHUNP presets are completely separate. You can't load a CBBE preset with BHUNP meshes, just as you can't load a BHUNP preset with CBBE meshes.

Interesting. I wasn't aware of that. I asked the Bodyslide folks about using UNP-family textures in the application and they gave me the impression that "no, you can't do that"

 

Cool. So when I work on a BHUNP character, I can move my own textures (CBBE-3BBB) out of the .../female folder and put the BHUNP textures into it (temporarily) for a proper preview in Bodyslide. Good to know.

 

thank you.

 

There are several other old UNP follower mods I'd like to update to BHUNP but was tired of battling Bodyslide and just left them to idle in my archives for "future reference"

 

PS> to the OP, my apologies for my misinformation.

I am one of the 'BodySlide folks'. What you asked was changing the texture directory of the mesh with BodySlide, and it looks like Ousnius misunderstood you, perhaps thinking you wanted a UV-editor in BodySlide (or it wasn't clear that you were using both BHUNP and CBBE with CBBE textures in your initial post, and thus the textures on the BHUNP mesh were misaligned).

 

BodySlide is purely a mesh-altering utility. You'd have to install the textures elsewhere, use NifSkope or Outfit Studio to change the texture directory of the mesh, and then you'd have to go through the hassle of changing it back once done. Much simpler to just make sure you have the right textures in the right place, and only one body mod - or at least not completely conflicting body mods (So you could have CBBE and TBD, or BHUNP and...RUNP? Whatever it was. But you can't have CBBE and BHUNP, because the textures don't work between them). Otherwise you'd have to do as you have been, and put up with misaligned textures, or constantly un/installing textures when you swap between bodies.

Fair enough. Thanks for the lessons. I've been struggling with "figuring it out on my own" pretty much since I began playing Skyrim.

 

Perhaps it's because I was replacing the original UNP meshes with BHUNP, idk (makes sense now that I think about it, coupled with what you posted above) . And yes, I was asking for the ability to swap textures in my last query to the Bodyslide and Outfit studio mod posts tab, because I didn't understand the nature of the issue and thought that ...well, I expect you have a good idea of what I mistakenly thought, based on my question in the post you referenced. <insert sheepish dog emoji>

 

I'll take your advise (with gratitude) for future use. Your posts here to correct my false post to the OP are much appreciated by me and have cleared up my confusion on the topic. (I was aware that Bodyslide only produces meshes, just in case anything in my posts suggested otherwise. I just thought Bodyslide used a texture on its own, rather than via the nif references).
