Body Tattoos stopped working in RaceMenu Body Paint Tab

[Heartbreaker714]

Pretty much at a loss on this one. skse.ini has always had the iTintTextureResolution=2048 .

The body tattoos worked correctly, but suddenly the body tattoos aren't visible anymore. What's even more strange is that the hand tattoos DO show up & are perfectly fine.

 

Any suggestions on a fix & possible cause for this?

Doesn't that mean the overlays still work?

 

By default overlays are limit the to 3 slots/body part

Some mods reserve a slot for later use.

 

What might help is to rise the number of body overlays in nioverride.ini

If that doesn't help you need to give more details what you changed before some overlay slots stopped working.

Maybe a screenshot of your racemenu overlays tab helps too.

Apologies for the delayed response. I honestly needed to take a break due to my frustration with this issue. Thank you for such an in-depth answer. 

 

I searched my mod folder and didn't have nioverride.ini so I created one, copy & paste the text from what you wrote, then created a mod folder for it. Well, it worked. I'm really uncertain what could have changed before the overlay slots stopped working. I've downloaded a few mods but nothing with .ini files that would have overwritten anything dealing with tattoos. I feel a bit uncomfortable not knowing that caused this issue. 

 

That said, the body tattoos appear now and I'm very appreciative.

Usually nioverride.ini comes with Racemenu.

 Hm. I did a search and it's not included in my installation. I extracted the BSA and there was a nioverride folder. However, there was no nioverride.ini. I'm going to keep the version you wrote out that I copied and pasted as it's own mod. Thanks again for that because it'd the only thing that's worked.

That's what the LE version comes with:

? RaceMenu.bsa (14.6 MB)

? RaceMenu.esp (547 B)

? RaceMenuPlugin.esp (297 B)

? SKSE

• ? Plugins

• ? chargen.dll (585.2 kB)
• ? chargen.ini (1.4 kB)
• ? nioverride.dll (827.9 kB)
• ? nioverride.ini (3.5 kB)

I understand now. I am on SSE and there is a document called skee64.ini. I opened it to find it has the information that is in nioverride.ini.

Was it solved? I have the same issue
