Bondage Restraints Cause Body to Go Invisible

[DredayAJO7]

I've been looking help for this issue for quite sometime now, I've done my research and turns out some players who do have modded armor installed end up having the same issue. Some people say it could be my load order, others say it could be my meshes/textures in the wrong place. I've been told these solutions but no explanation of how to do them.. I use NMM and I have NMM auto install mods for me when possible, I constantly run bodyslide and still I have no success. If anybody can help me out I'd appreciate it greatly considering I can't enjoy the great bondage mods this community offers.... If you need any recordings or SSs I will gladly provide, thanks so much.

Since you say you are running Bodyslide are you running it correctly? If you do not build the items from, say, Devious Devices, in Bodyslide you will get the problem that you describe. If you are absolutely sure that Bodyslide is NOT your issue then please post a screenshot ON THE SITE and place your load order (preferably from LOOT and preferably in a spoiler) also on the site.

One thing to watch out for with devious devices (expansion especially) is that they are scattered across various bodyslide groups, and some are unassigned. I found the best idea is to not narrow it down by group at all. Leave it catching everything and then, after clicking batch build, go through the list and make sure everything you want is ticked. If you rely on the devious groups you are going to miss things.

 

If you're certain you've built everything correctly the other thing you might want to look at is your devices underneath settings in the DD MCM. Every slot can be set to turn other slots invisible. Make sure you don't have something hiding the body slot. This is less likely to be the issue, as you would have changed default settings to have such a problem, but it might be worth disabling the device hider completely (by setting its slot to none) and seeing if that changes anything.

Well, I strongly thought it was just DD messing up, butt last night I tried using rope bomdage from ZazAnimationPack and the rope harness caused my whole body to go invisible, So I am now ruling out that DD is my problem.

Hey mate, I had this issue too a day ago when I did a fresh reinstall, I use mod organizer but I would assume that the solution is the same.

 

I fixed this by copying the mod files from where they were unpacked(you should be able to see where things are placed in the NMM preferences, I believe that you can see under settings -> paths, but I can't remember. I know in Vortex it's under settings->mods, the mod staging folder), everything except the esp, into the data folder where it would be if installed manually. Then batch built bodyslide for my preset.

You might be able to get away with just copying the mods CalienteTools folder, because in theory it should load the textures as long as the mod is enabled, but I didn't test that when I was fixing it on my end.

 

I think that the cause of this issue is related to where mod managers(in general) tend to install files, in relation to the expected folder that Bodyslide looks for(The one that it's in).

So with that in mind, you may also have to copy the Bodyslide program into your Skyrim's data folder as well. Just the CalienteTools folder from it should do the trick.

Hopefully that helps.

Two different approaches. First, I don't know and can't find some of the mods in your load order, particularly 1d, 1e, 25 and 33, all of which appear to deal with bindings. Can you please give me the names.

 

Second, go back in game and find someone whose body is invisible. Using the console choose them. On the right hand side of the screen, about halfway down, should be a line that says something like "last modified by" and then gives the name of the last mod that affected your character/NPC. Try to get several and see if they all have the same mod. If so, it is likely that that particular mod is at the root of your problem (or it could just be DD that's given in which case I'm back to the first approach above).

1d = Armbinders2Ropes, 1e = Devious Devices Beast Refits, 25 = FMEA Skyrim,  33 = Insects Begone Spiders and Chaurus

Any tips on how I could find a bound NPC?

To facilitate my explanation let me preface it by saying that I divide most of the LL mods (in my head at least) into dominant and submissive. To do as you asked you would need more dominant mods (or at least one). If I were in your position I would use Paradise Halls Enhanced (PAHE) and enslave an NPC. Then I would put my slave into the bondage gear in question. You should be able to do this multiple times. Other mods, however, will allow you the same thing.

 

For instance, if you allow your follower to be imprisoned along with you in Prison Overhaul and set the MCM so that you are both in bondage gear, you will then be able to check using your follower as the NPC in question.

And what about my mod list, anything questionable?

Sorry, still working on that. I've been having trouble finding the ones I don't know and have just resorted to Google (I usually find the LL search engine good enough for this). I'll get back with you.

[DredayAJO7]

Okay, thanks so much. Please be sure to use the names I provided with your research

I'm not done but RL calls. Did you get the patches to the Beast Race Refits for the other mod(s) that you have?

Beast Refits currently only have one version available for LL

[DredayAJO7]

My follower's hands only ended up becoming invisible while my whole body became invisible because I assume it's certain restraints that were put on me, I press my body and open the command bar and I see no "last modified by"

What version of Devious Devices are you using?

It's a little trickier with the player. You have to be in third person perspective when opening the console. Then you have to click on the player. You'll know that you're in the right place when you see all the appropriate information about your character show up on the sides of the screen. Last modified is about halfway down on the right side of the screen.

Pretty sure all DD mods only have one version out as well, I don't know what I'm talking about, at all, but should I just uninstall Beast Refits and Armbinders2Ropes?

I would try uninstalling Beast Refits because it's support thread indicates that it uses an older version of DD. Armbinders2Ropes does not have an issue that I could find.
