But someimes I noticed there could be not only one pair of morph.ini and template.ini. Some may exist in different folder, named according to mod, added that. Is there some load priority, or what? 

 

If all of those have their corresponding plugins active in your load order (each directory matches the filename of a plugin) then all are loaded by LooksMenu and combined. It uses the most specific match(es) and then increasingly general ones until a morph matches. It's a good idea to make sure you don't have more than one matching huge swaths of NPCs (like all female humans for example). Read the LooksMenu file page for more information on its BodyGen feature.

I spawned 20 settlers.

All had the same body shape.

But I do have "Data\F4SE\Plugins\F4EE\BodyGen\ZeX-BodyGen-F.esp"..

What am I doing wrong ?

 

I also started a new game. To try it out.

But still the same.

 

But is the ZeX-BodyGen-F.esp plugin also enabled in your load order? If it isn't, then LooksMenu won't load the configs from that directory.

so here is my BodyGen folder

I only have two(+ 1 new folder) folders installed

and I am not actively playing "MilkingHumanKindness.esp" yet (I still in the middle of playing different mods, (it gotten a bit more tiresome than I was expecting) *so it is disabled

 

I keep all of the useless bodygen folder in the "New Folder"

 

so I would recommend that you do the same. also I think there is a load order to these bodygen's but I am not completely sure. \

[Invictusblade]

so I have abandoned my body skin idea (because it doesn't work anymore(if it did work in the first place))

 

regardless, the mod is nearly finished so I will do some final testing and clean up.

(I am planning on making some different MCM choices) *the options have gotten insane nowadays so I will be reducing the amount of options for certain MCM's.

 

and then I upload the mod to LL and Nexus.

Yes, it is activated. ^^

I tried the same, but makes no difference.

Or do I have to disable them in vortex as well ?

Not sure if you're saying MHK got tiresome, but if you have any specific feedback I'm always open to improvements. I've tried to make it stay out of the way as much as possible during normal gameplay, and recent updates have focused a lot on those sorts of "quality of life" features and tweaks too.

 

As for the BodyGen configs it includes, those will only work with Fusion Girl bodies at the moment, but they're also scoped to customizing custom unique NPCs within that mod itself, not random NPCs, so shouldn't conflict with anything else anyway. And if you don't want them, they can be deselected in the FOMOD installer menu so they won't be installed at all.

In that case, you probably want to look for errors in your f4ee.log (not to be confused with f4se.log but you'll find it in the same folder).

Are you trying to enable or disable BodyGen configs? If you disable the plugins associated with those directories then LooksMenu won't load the configurations. If you enable the plugins then it will. If you're using Vortex, then yes that's what you would go through to disable and enable game plugins in your load order.

then there is a heap of non quest mods as well.

 

there is a few reasons why my list is so large

1. haven't been playing much

2. incompatibilities

3. Been playing other games (Division 2 on PS5)

 

*Personally I think my big decline with playing Fallout 4 happened because I finished the game(as well as an achievement hunt that came around it)

**as well as making mods has reduced my actual gameplay (as opposed to testing over and over again)

I think I did that the first time in 2015, and then each of the DLCs as they became available. After starting over to play through to a few different faction-specific endgames I eventually tired of the vanilla quests completely. And then Creation Club happened and entertained me for a while, but I quickly tired of the bland mods it had to offer.

 

These days I often don't even go to Sanctuary or Concord for a while (or maybe at all) and often let Preston and his crew rot in the museum unless I'm specifically testing whether something works with those vanilla quests. There are a lot of great content and quest mods which add new experiences I'm more interested in trying out.

I can relate. This definitely happened to me, first because of helping playtest new mods for other creators, and then eventually testing my own mods. I try to find time to just play the game, and turn my playtesting into "let's see if I encounter any bugs related to my mods while doing whatever else I feel like doing in the game, and if I do I'll pause to jot down some notes."

heh, I did say that I was going to post an update. (and then a week just vanished)

 

but I did make something new for debugging

 

basically I added a simple method to find a NPC overlays

 

but there is a problem (which I don't think has a solution)

it will read out the overlays ID instead of its name

also there is no current method to any sort of order

 

here is an overlay example

{
    "id": "ASO_Full_Brands",
    "name": "$ASO Back Full Brands",
    "slots": [
      {
        "slot": 3,
        "material": "overlays\\AstinTiBrands\\BackFull(Bra).BGSM"
      }
    ],
    "playable": true,
    "transformable": true,
    "sort": 0,
    "gender": 1
  }

 

so ROF reads "id": "ASO_Full_Brands" (and writes it to the message box)

while Looksmenu reads the "name": "$ASO Back Full Brands"

 

*maybe there is a solution but I don't know at the moment.

 

update-> looking at it now, I might be having some issues so I will look at it again

 

new update-> I need to look at MCM options again, I might divide the MCMs into different two MCM (Basic and Factions)

Edited August 18, 2023 by Invictusblade

[Invictusblade]

Does anyone have any suggestions about how to reduce MCM Options? because I have added too many options.

 

I do have one idea,

override mods that will override the global's for faction options (Disabled, 1x, 2x, 3x, and 4x) and with this idea, I can remove these options from MCM.

 

edit-> I decided to give this a try and will be testing soon

 

update-> well it works but I am not really happy with it (I am talking about the basic faction version)

 

I will post an updated file tonight (in a hour or so) *may take longer because I decided to rework a few things

Edited August 19, 2023 by Invictusblade

[Invictusblade]

here is the next version of ROF

 

you will need to go over the MCM options because I have changed most of them.

 

Let me know if there is any problems

 

I will do some final tweaking tomorrow (and bug fixing if required) and do a proper download post as opposed to these

*I need to sort out some of the default settings

**and write up a changelog because I changed a lot of content since the last download post.

INVB_OverlayFramework v2.30.7z

[Jeffey67]

Last vertion doesn't appears in MCM at all. Though plugin is on in Vortex.

 Concerning shrinking settings, as you said before, there no need additional fraction options for natural body traits. Skins and hairs. They are the same for all human, no matter raiders or settlers, or so on. We all was kinda angels when born. But Specific Tattoos (most of JB's), should be imo. However there are neutral tattoos, which could be on anyone also. Some for flowers, birds and so on. I would devide them to chances - people could made em before joining to special fraction. Anyway simplification MCM options is a good idea.

 

Folder INVB_OverlayFramework  doesn't appears in ...Data/MCM/Config folder during installation

>> upd. Manually moved folder from archive (...0/General/MSM/Config/...) to game folder MSM/Config. Get usable menu in MCM, called "Random Overlay Framework - 1. General options". However Bodyhair array checking shows as before some numbers, I posted before. And Bodyhairs does not apply. The rest overlays are ok.

     

Edited August 19, 2023 by Jeffey67

running into a couple of minor issues after adding options to remove Captive Tattoos from the overlays (1. Allow, 2. Disable, 3. Captive Tattoos Only)

1. Spanked overlays seem to be running twice and I am not sure why at the moment.

 

update-> found the issue and have no idea why it is doing the bug. nor how to fix it

Why is it Spanked and not anything else

 

 

My brain hurts

 

final update-> found the issue and fixed it, and I bloody made it ages ago and forgot about it (it requires you to reset the quests) *but it does remind me to rework some of the scripts, so it wasn't completely wasted.

I will make some more changes and test.

I should be able to post a download in the next day or so

Edited August 21, 2023 by Invictusblade

[Invictusblade]

here is the latest version, please let me know if there is any issues

 

btw resetting the quests may be required.

 

Changelog

I added Captive Tattoo options (Allowed, Disabled, Allow Captive Tattoos only) *This only applies to tattoos and not other overlays such as spanking, whipped

I added different pubic Hair options (All, Bushy, and Styled)

I split the MCM into different areas (with modifiers)

1. General Options. (contains the core options)
2. Basic Faction Options. (contains a small amount of options for each faction) this is then supported by addon ESL's
3. Advanced Faction Options. (contains all of the options for each faction)
