[Solved] Backing Up RaceMenu Presets


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I'm preparing to upgrade Skyrim from SE to AE (finally), but before I do that I want to make sure that I have backups of all of my racemenu presets. I spent a lot of time making these girls look good, and I don't want to risk losing them when I update RaceMenu. Problem is, I have no idea how to do this. I'm just kind of assuming its possible, but I've scoured the data folder for anything that looks like its related to RaceMenu, but I haven't found it. Either I'm blind or its hidden someone else. x.x

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Make sure to step back one folder as well, and collect any relevant files. Many Racemenu presets have additional files (nif, dds) that are referred from the CharGen folder.

 

Also, if you've created presets, check the CharGen/Exported/ folder too.

The presets get saved to Data/SKSE/Plugins/CharGen/Presets.

 

Copy/paste the .jslot files to wherever your backup storage is.

 

Thanks! They were right where you said they would be. I should be able to get to work updating and re-lewding Skyrim within the week, now. >:3

I found the CharGen/Presets folder which has all of my saved presets, but the CharGen folder itself is empty (other than the Presets folder inside it). Is that normal? I haven't actually "exported" anything from RaceMenu; I just saved the presets in-game. Should I be doing something else? :o

Nah, you're fine. All the relevant data gets stored in the .jslot. Exporting is only needed if you want to turn one of your character into a follower, and want 'em to look exactly the same as the preset.

Good to know! I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference.

This is one of the characters being saved, and I think she could make a good follower someday! ?

Not all presets have additional files. I was simply warning in case you do have any like that.  I have dozens of presets that include nif and a few that also include dds files (makeup overlays I think). If you don't have any, that's ok.  Same goes for user created presets that would be located in the /Exported/ folder
