Invisible ball gags

[kapibar]

Modding Skyrim is so fun! You solve one problem and another one, even more irritating, takes its place.

 

This time around black ball gags became invisible. The mouth opens like it should, the device locks, but it's invisible. I reinstalled pretty much everything, used bodyslide, but the damn thing still won't work.

 

Little help?

Strip your character naked, completely no clothes, armour, jewellery or Devious devices.

 

Equip the gag, does it show up? If not, you're missing the mesh somehow.

If so, then one of your armour pieces is hiding it.

 

Normally can be fixed using the MCM menu of devious devices under Devices Underneath (I think it's called)

Find out what armour slot the gag uses and what amour piece is hiding it.

Invisible objects are most often objects not built in Bodyslide. Try building them again. In particular, make sure you build the items in the Unassigned category (a number of DD items hide in there).

If it's on body, maybe. Bodyslide shouldn't be doing anything for head gear though. The sliders don't alter anything that high. So what's left is missing DDA nif files propably, or load order done wrong way.

Hey, thanks for your reply. I did some digging and checking. It seems that the nature of the problem has changed. Now it only occurs for standard size ring and ball gags and is exclusive for elves. Which is infuriating, since I'm using an elf character.

Could it be that the face import in racemenu is causing this bug?

 

If so, it should be unique to your character. It shouldn't be hard to try it out on an unsuspecting elven NPC to see if it shows for them.

I created a new character just to check if the same thing happens. And it happened, so we can safely assume it's a race issue. I've never seen such issue.

But does it do the same thing on NPCs of your race (or is it unique to your character)? Are you playing a custom elven race?

Test items on nord characters, that's what devices are mainly made for.

[kapibar]

OK, I'll test on both Nord and NPC when I come home.

@Psalam, @Zaflis, @Mez558

I checked and:

 

a) On a Nord, Redguard and Imperial character everything is fine, the gags are visible

b) On an Elf character or NPC - the gags are invisible, just as described in the first post

So it is clearly a race issue.

Having the exact same issue here with gags on an elven characters..

Did someone solve it?
