skyrim Help with Bodyslide information ..I want to learn what I'm doing wrong

[shadowclone0]

Hi I've been messing with bodyslide and found out that the preview's body never changes. I change the preset to Joycen and the body stays default UNP( It looks like UNP default anyway).

 

Only the outfit changes shape, so I never know if it even is working correctly until I load it in skyrim(some presets work, others don't work well).

 

I even use presets that were approved by the author of the uunp sliders sometimes, and it still shows me the UNP default body in the preview. Also, even though its the approved one by the author of the uunp sliders some work while others don't work well(in game).

 

The second thing is that when I go to outfit studio and select the body I want and select the outfit I want, it loads and there is another 'outfit body'..   ( this is suspiciously like the annoying preview body in bodyslide preview that doesn't change..)    I can delete it in outfit studio and the outfit is perfectly aligned with the body I selected when I started outfit studio..

 

so with a program as good as bodyslide, why do I need to do this step?  it seems like they are both uunp based and it was aligned already with my preset..  but the silly outfit body was still in the way..(looking like UNP default, like I said)

 

So my questions are these:

 

1.  why does bodyslide not show me the preset of the body in the preview, and instead only changes the oufit?   this makes it so I never can tell if it works until I load it

(is bodyslide supposed to do this?   I'm using MO..   bad install maybe?)

 

2. is there something I'm not doing right here?   from what I read online so far, my preset should be able to batch build correctly..  but the silly UNP default looking body isn't changing to my preset or isn't disappearing(or being replaced)

 

 

 

 

(picture 1  is showing my zero-slider preset, and after thinking about it..   it's probably the zero-slider preset that bodyslide is showing in the preview at all times ) 

 

  (pictures 2 and picture 3 show when I change to the uunp slider approved setting(stated on the author's page 'unpb') and the Joycen preset)

 

(picture 3 shows what I mean in the outfit studio..   my Joycen preset is used correctly on the outfit, but the silly 'outfit body' that is probably UNP zero-sliders is still there, looking just like the 

preview in bodyslide. 

Then I hide it to show that it works almost perfectly..    but I shouldn't have to do this everytime cuz it's all UUNP based sliders..  so that is my question.. 

what am I doing wrong for it not to show the correct bodychanges in bodyslide preview and why is the 'outfit body' getting in the way?)

 

 

I really would appreciate any help 

 

..I forgot to mention that I chose this armor for the question here because its a good example of the bodyslide preview showing the wrong body preset..  lydia wears this ingame(the UNPB converted version in part of pic 2 and part of pic 3..  and it fits her perfectly..   so it is bodyslide preview window that is being strange.

Do you launch bodyslide from within Mod Organizer?

Your BodyShape does not have the morphs used for the preset. Can sometimes happen when local morphs are edited.

I used AIO animated vagina(LEYENDA, i think), is that why I don't have morphs?  or   is making morphs something I do in this case?

 

if it is..   I haven't changed a body using bodyslide because one time, probably a year ago, I did that and all HDT(hands, feet, boobs, butt, vagina) disappeared lol

 

makes me scared to acutally use it on a body now lol

Open Outfitstudio and load your Project (this armor). Now use the slider and see what happend. If the slider works for both (body +armor) save the project with a new name in a new folder.

 

If the slider not works for the Bodyshape load your Reference (reload or a other).

Then check the slider and bone weigths and save your Project.

I am very thankful for the help 

 

you mentioning the shapedata morphs made me start thinking more about them, and so I manually unzipped the bodyslide archive..   

 

It looks like it didn't install everything correctly using the fomod in MO, so I checked every folder in the archive and found two folders that were empty in my MO mod folder.

 

I think I had too much faith in MO  lol   but it's working now!      TY again !
