SOS does not want to work with Faster HDT-SMP

[Connector196]

So lately I've been noticing that when I have HDT enabled balls using the files on the SOS page, they always rise up into the base of the penis. I don't know what would be causing this issue since I don't have a great grasp at how HDT-SMP works... 

 

Here's some pictures of the problem and a comparison. (They drop when I go into racemenu and then rise up again when I exit out of racemenu.)

(I happen to use some of Bad Dog's custom races as well, and it looks much worse on his hoodies.)

I don't pay much attention to the particulars on my male player other than a) yes he has a working one, b) it works, so I haven't fiddled much (if at all) with any special MCM settings.

 

However... While configuring my females player, I have seen settings for male inflation, deflation and related, although offhand I can't say exactly which/where, but at a wild guess, that "rise" might be SLIF (inflation framework) doing something, or SLIF in combo with SLSO (possibly even Cumshot if you have that mod installed).

 

So IF you have any of those installed, I'd recommend giving its(their) MCM(s) a view.

I don't have SLIF or any of those mods in my game currently (I use them, just not at the moment). All I have installed right now body replacer, loverslab and physics-wise is SOS, HIMBO, BHUNP and Faster HDT-SMP. Only other thing I have on besides that is ENB. 

 

This problem happened with just SOS and installing Faster HDT-SMP (or the original HDT-SMP as well.) Not much really irritates me, but this does affect scenes since they are so high up they sort of disappear into the body or act in weird ways with female collisions in certain positions since the balls themselves have collision files.

Throwing out a couple other speculations

Did you (effectively) update HDT-SMP or is this a new install of Faster HDT-SMP?

Maybe a "mesh" issue? (ie, is there an associated schlong bodyslide and/or schlong bodyslide-smp-collisions item that needs built, that hasn't been?

Load order for mods affecting XPMSSE skeleton (HIMBO, SOS, etc)? 

 

Well that's all I got for the moment. 

[Connector196]

The installation of Faster HDT-SMP is new. (v1.3.8)

 

I haven't seen anything to do with schlongs in Bodyslide, and XPMSSE is overwriting everything else it is conflicting with. I don't know what else could be causing this issue.

I discovered that it only seems to be happening to the player character, not to any NPCs which is odd...

I might have found the issue. I went into HIMBO.xml and edited these lines: 

 

<bone name="NPC GenitalsScrotum [GenScrot]">
        <mass>1.000000</mass>
        <inertia x="5" y="5" z="5"/>
        <centerOfMassTransform>
            <basis x="0" y="0" z="0" w="1"/>
            <origin x="0" y="0" z="0"/>
        </centerOfMassTransform>
        <linearDamping>0.98</linearDamping>
        <angularDamping>0.98</angularDamping>
        <friction>0</friction>
        <rollingFriction>0</rollingFriction>
        <restitution>1</restitution>
    </bone>

 

I changed the mass to 5 and it dropped back down with no issues. Just to make sure it was working I entered a negative value and the balls flew off into oblivion lol.

 

This is the result of a negative value to make sure my edits were indeed being registered LOL.

It seems using racemenu updates the physics, which is probably why using racemenu they go to their default form since physics are disabled in racemenu. Once I exit, the physics are updated and enabled, so when the mass for the NPC GenitalsScrotum was 1.0, the balls were too light and so they rose up. 

 

TLDR; just raise the mass up from 1 to 5 for NPC GenitalsScrotum. I'm sure I could fine-tune it more, but I'm just going to keep it at 5 since it works for me. I managed to solve my own problem lol!
