Hi @Alkzis, sorry for your troubles, I know how frustrating it can be.  My best guess for both your problems is that you're looking at mesh conflicts resulting from mod list (left pane) and plugin (right pane) load order errors.  My first suggestion would be to disable any non-Aylis list mods you may have in the left pane  (mainly those that might change things in the worldspace)  and then make sure that the remaining mods are all in the order they are presented on page 1.   Next, go through and correct the order of all the right pane plugins to match the order of the modlist.  Do it manually, do not trust LOOT for this crucial step.  Let me know if you've tried this or if this helps.

Good Luck!

 

Oh yeah i rely on Sync Pluging to help me with this and then manually go on each mod (on the guide) to check any "move this down/up/ or deactivate"  the thing is that everything is ok, im just going to reinstall the whole texture section and hope for the best.

And about personal aditions to the list that may cause issues the only world/texture change would be a few statues that i like more (fem ver of talos for example) but the first thing that i thought when i found this werid overly black thingy was to deactivate them and rebuild DynDOLOD/Texgen, i did and nothing changed, im pretty much out of ideas besides reinstall the whole texture thing or the entire guide (much easier when you already have a LoadOrder back up and every mod downloaded)

The chairs tho as been an issue since the first time i followed this guide (over a year ago) but its ok i can live with something so minor *
..
Im about to start with this, man, i wanted to play-.

Between these 2 mods Arousal Based MatchMaker  and Random Sex Mod. Which one is more performance friendly?

I'd say ABM, definitely, unless things have changed dramatically in the last couple of updates.  But, that said, not sure ABM plays well with SLEN all the time.  TBH, haven't used RSM in over a year but default values were insane at that time.  See what others here think...

Armor rating redux vs Resistances Rescaled ,    Sorry if I missed something but does RR do everything that ARR does  ? or should I have both ? 

Anyone able to weigh in , I'm removing ARR as it seems redundant

Reading them it looks like they do almost the exact same thing ARR allows the usage of 3 different formulas while RR uses 2, ARR plays well with dibellian defender where being nude grants x armor based on level, so a level 10 with a 30 armor per level is 300 and is about 90% damage reduction at 10, i have not tried RR so can not comment on it. But you might run 2 profiles one with ARR and one with RR and do exact same build, try each on exact same fight (say moroiki for the staff of magnus) and compare the damage reductions on the same armor for both, one may let you be killed rather easily but the other does not.

@jaeosThanks 

 

I've discovered the " create seperator above " option in MO2 ....so satisfying lol

@Auxitism Yeah, I remember when I figured out the separators! It was great! It started my organizing of my ever growing load order. I still use them constantly!

 

One thing, though. Would you mind putting the screenshot in a spoiler? Every thread has its own unofficial rules... that happens to be one here. You probably already know, but the spoiler button is in the edit bar, the one that looks like an eyeball. Pretty cool feature when you get used to it!

You can select a color for the seperator. I'm using red. And I also give them a number (eg. 001 Foundation). I use the same numbers-name-combination for the folders where I download the mods to.

You download the mods and then move them to another folder with the separator designation on it? So MO2 doesn't control your downloads from nexus?

More or less, I download and install them manually.

we have stuff like this instead ? you can check out the local to my home by using either zip code 79703 or midland texas or if it really demands an address you can use 4214 Andrews Hwy #103, Midland, TX 79703. (it's an er clinic) 

[Aylis]

@jaeos

Texas? O.o

 

I only heard about the served size. What you call a 'children portion' is a big one here...

 

As i like good food that wouldn't be good for me (i'd gain so much weight). And now you got me to order a pizza... I blame that on you...

I'm not fully understanding the Wrong Body and HIMBO presets.  When I ran the Wrong body presets for "Saints and Seducers" using the "CBBE Creation Club Outfits Bodyslides" I got a full output of NIFs and TRI files.  The armor fits my PC well and the BodySlide (BS) output overwrites the mod mesh NIFs.  When I run the HIMBO Hassan Preset and "NordwarUA's Unplayable Faction Armors - HIMBO Bodyslide" all I get are the TRI meshes; no overwrites.  These are part of the guide.  Same thing happens with Wrong Body presets and Sunjeong's TAWOBA, just TRI files and no overwriting mesh NIFs.  These are not part of the guide.

 

 

 

I'm using the Wrong body provided by Aylis and BodySlide outputs and have the presets.  I've never used 3BBB or HIMBO before and am wondering what I'm doing wrong building these armors for the Wrong Body and HIMBO.   I've double checked that Caliente Tools folders are present and complete for the mods I'm trying to build.  Definitely something I don't understand here.

 

If someone could please point me to an article explaining what I'm seeing or give some guidance on a fix for this, I'd be most grateful.

Is your problem that your bodyslide does not create any meshes, or that they created meshes don't overwrite anything?
TAWOBA, if I remember correctly, does not come with any pre-built meshes so there is nothing to overwrite to begin with.

If you weren't building the meshes and just try to equip a TAWOBA item your head would flaut because of the missing mesh.

That's the case for many armor mods.

[Auxitism]

@Aylis  Speaking for the NPC section , have you considered this  ? It would compliment it well .

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/58755

 

basically a really simply way to have different body presets in the game at the same time . auto fits gear . 

 

Could even recommend your top 10 bodyslides with it as optional

Rudy HQ - More Lights for ENB SE - Torchbugs and Moths  is redundant after installing 

 

Green Moth - ENB Light Patch

Torchbug - ENB Light Patch

 

I've triple checked but there is no reason to get it 

 

Spoiler

 

 

Also , The Skyrim 3D Cooking Oven Patch in Textures becomes redundant after any install of Enbers XD in Weather and Lighting

I'm only getting the TRI mesh files no 0 NIFs or 1 NIFs.  Below is the output from TAWOBA, there should be NIFs there too.

If  you have previously ran body slide for these files then mo2 no longer creates everything in the override folder, any files that already exist get overwritten with the new files, so chances are they have replaced the nifs in the appropriate armor mods.  MO2 changed it some versions back and it is stated in the update notes, but to be honest who actually reads them unless they start having problems with said update.  Check either your previous bodyslide ran file folder or the original armor folders and see what dates are on those nifs, though it may have even overwritten the bodyslide nifs them selves.

ROFL!

 

I'm so very very tempted...

 

 

@Auxitism

You can't give a thumbs up on Nexus if you havn't downloaded a mod. Modders live for that so there's a reason they are in the guide.

Almost finished with my first own body preset (which i hopefully can port to Skyrim). What do you guys and gals think?
