"PregnancyBelly" node somehow got stuck in an inflated state

[shar181]

I have encountered a bit of a... problem.

 

I'm running my game with a bunch of mods that change the PC's bodyshape depending on various conditions. The set-up is basically...

 

• SLIF (Sexlab Inflation Framework)
• Fill Her Up
• Milk Mod Economy
• Sexlab Survival
• Estrus Charus+
• Estrus Spider

 

Overall, these mods have all been working very, very well together. The Estrus mods, FHU, and MME all work through SLIF to keep from fighting over the nodes, and Survival ties into the FHU system to manage the belly node for certain events. My game has been going smoothly for at least 200 hours, which is pretty awesome (for me).

 

I decided, eventually, that MME was interfering in my game more than it was helping, as my character's tits were so big all the time that she couldn't wear her armor. This was a problem for a heavy-armor focused tanky girl. So I went through the uninstallation procedure for that, including a basic save-cleaning with Fallrim to get rid of any lingering scripts, It seemed to have exited my save file gracefully, to my surprise and delight.

 

Then all of a sudden... well, not all of a sudden. About 14 hours of gameplay later,  I notice that my character looks a bit pregnant.

 

That's not unusual. Any of these mods can have that effect. The problem is that none of the them seemed to be responsible. The most common cause is having taken a few loads via Fill Her Up, but it wasn't letting me push out the cum, as it usually does, so I went into the MCM and checked the "inflated actors" list. To my surprise, my actor was listed as having no inflation from that mod. Then I went to EC and ES, and confirmed that my character was not egged up. So I was a bit lost. I decided to wade into the opaque quagmire of the SLIF MCM menu so I could directly see how much my character's "Belly" node had been inflated, and perhaps find out which mod was doing it.

 

According to SLIF, there was no inflation. At all.

 

No problem, I thought. I'd had a few minor issues before. I decided to use SLIF to reset my character, as that had always fixed things before. No dice. I then went to each of the Estrus mods and hit the "Fix Nodes" button. My girl still looked like she was brewing a baby Spriggan her belly. I then checked SLS, and remembered that I had actually turned off all of the belly-altering options a long time ago, so that wasn't the problem. I made one more attempt to reset Inflation in FHU, which had no effect, and then I was out of ideas.

 

I know what you're thinking. "If none of the mods that deal with Inflation are causing it, maybe the body shape was changed manually in ShowRaceMenu." Yeah, I thought of that too. It seemed very possible, since after uninstalling MME I had manually adjusted her CBBE morphs through the ShowRaceMenu so her boobs would at least look like they were full of milk. Sadly, that didn't pan out either.

 

All of the belly-related morphs were right at "0", having never been changed from their default position.

 

Now I'm completely out of ideas. For the moment, I'm dealing with this by manually reducing the PregnancyBelly morph to about -0.16, which puts her body shape right back at its default level. Incidentally, this does helpfully confirm that its the PregnancyBelly node which somehow got messed up.

 

For now, I guess its fine. Manually changing that slider is a good bandaid solution, but I'd really like to figure out what caused this in the first place... and hopefully, how to fix it. Any insight would be appreciated!

I know this was a year ago but was curious if you ever figured it out. I have the same issue currently and even with changing the pregnancy slider the belly is still large. I have tried many things to correct and reset the belly node but with no luck.

 

Any advice is appreciated.

I loaded a racmenu preset from another save and I had this issue too, no idea if the issues are linked though

I haven't looked at this thread in quite some time, but I noticed that there were some comments now. As it happens, I think I did figure out the issue!

 

Basically, when I changed my character's tits in ShowRaceMenu it "locked in" the inflation values from SLIF. The slightlly bulging pregnancy belly became the new default. Numerically, the node was still set to "0", so none of the mods could reset it back to its old appearance. The same thing happens if you save a preset while the character has inflated nodes.

 

Assuming your issues are coming from the same source, you can easily avoid it in the future by making sure to reset all of your inflation before you make edits to the character in ShowRaceMenu. Its easy enough to do this through MCM for all of the inflation mods; they all have options to immediately end their inflation/pregnancy/incubation/etc. Good luck!
