Racemenu overlays not exported

[Player80]

Hi, I'm having trouble exporting a character preset to a .jslot file. My Makeup overlays get exported correctly to the .jslot file, whereas my other overlays inside the other categories don't get saved.

 

Here you'll find my nioverride.ini. All I did was enable face overlays and increased the amount of overlays. I tried exporting my character with the default settings and it still wouldn't save the overlays.

Here are the overlays that aren't getting saved up when exporting the character preset : (I tried putting the overlays at the bottom of the list)

The Makeup tab gets exported properly (the tab with war paints) :

Inside my .jslot file :

 

What I mean by "exporting a character preset" is exporting my character as a .jslot preset that I can then import whenever I want to (on a new save for example).

you can rise iNumOverlays for slavetats to 12

if you use Sexlab Cumoverlays you need to rise it even higher, at least to 13 (read more about that on the Sexlab Cumoverlays topic)

 

how does your freckles mod add the freckles?

via makeup/warpaint or as dirt?

 

if you post the freckles mod name maybe someone that use it too can help you better.

 

what exactly do you mean by "exporting char preset"?

I did have a look at Cum overlay's page because I use it, but I noticed something else :

 

 

Spoiler

Purpose:

Restricts SlaveTats to access only overlay slots 0 - 11. Place any permanent overlays your character might have (scars, warpaint, freckles, etc) in slot 12+

 

That may be it, I've had iNumOverlays set to 12 before asking here for help, I'm gonna try bumping this up to 18. Previously I'd put all permanent overlays in the first slots.

 

 

Also the freckle mod doesn't matter as it does this for everything else.

I've edited my main post with more informations.

> for sexlab cumoverlays its better to just rise them all:

because cum doesnt only get added to your body, and on my setup it doesnt hurt my skyrim performance at all rising all above 12 and higher

depending on cum replacer you might get cum on feet hands too

> about stuff not getting saved with reacemenu,

I have the same "issue", never thought much about it, because my PC looks a bit different on new games anyways or mods get added removed

as long as bodyslide changes, brows, eyes, face, body, skin color gets saved I am happy already

 

but maybe you are up to something

 

 

> freckles

did rising face slots sloved your cum vs freckles issue?

Update :

I've tried with three XP32 skeleton versions (current, 4.50 and 3.93, the latter dates from before SSE) and I am still unable to properly export the overlays I want.

I've had an idea that the skeleton was causing the issue, but I guess not. I'm gonna try different versions of Racemenu now see if anything works.

I think that you are oversimplifying the process. Here is CPU's guide to making a custom follower which includes directions on how to achieve what it sounds like you are looking for:

 

https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/3045-tutorial-to-create-a-follower/

 

There is much additional information in here that you don't need for your purposes, I understand. However, if you look through it you will see what IS required to do what it sounds like you want.

Thank you for the suggestion.

 

There's a slight problem though.

If you are concerned that you won't be able to do it I can tell you that CPU is a terrific help with issues. Go back to the mod site, get on the support thread and ask him about any concern that you have. He is one of the few people I can unhesitatingly suggest that you go to with questions.

Well I'm not looking into making a follower, I'm looking about exporting my current character to a .jslot preset file that I can import later (when starting a new game for instance). This is very specific which is why I've opened up this thread.

[Player80]

Bump, I'll add to the topic that I've cleaned the base files. I don't know if it's changed the way overlays work, I highly doubt it.
