Tawoba bikinis not using preset body.

[Gurofiend24]

So everything was fine, batch built worked for tawoba and everything was as big as can be. I think I installed new texture mods and created a new body  and messed with some sliders, replaced all .Nif files for the female body like I always do with the new body and suddenly the breasts physics stopped working. Then I fucked with it some more and now bodies are super tiny but ONLY for TAWOBA WTF. 

 

The tawoba version is Sunjeongs Remastered. Using 3ba. and the rbav2 version when redoing Sunjeongs. I have batch built the bodyslide multiple times still I can't seem to fix it. You can also notice how she looked before and after. 

 

comparing also nude body and when the bikini is put on. 

 

I checked the previews for bikini tops with my preset and they work but I checked this tawoba extended and saw this. The armor is fitted around as if it's my preset but the body inside is funking small.

 

I also took off every mod except for Tawoba and it's requirements and it's still not working so I don't believe I need to share my load order as it is not a load order problem. I believe somethings up with the nif files. Please help.

Ok so 

IF the TAWOBA is for CBA....

As in you installed TAWOBA, and then you installed a CBA TAWOBA Bodyslide set properly....

 

Next you have to open the correct Bodyslide, you may have both TAWOBA bodyslide and a CBA Bodyslide on there....

So assuming you picked the correct one,

 

Now here is the thing, where things go wrong....A lot of people using Bodyslide just batch build everything that is in the Bodyslide, so that can mean overwriting mods with versions of Bodyslides that are not based on your prefered Body.

 

So assuming you picked the correct version of TAWOBA from the group manager in Bodyslide, 

At this point people then usually select their prefered version of their body using a "preset"

 

Here is the thing, if you downloaded a preset there is no garantee that it selects the proper hooks that tell it to use in your case all Bodyslides marked CBA in the group folder.

This can then prevent said preset from being used generating files for said files.

 

Only way to correct that is to go to CalienteTools\Bodyslide\SliderPresets\ Here is where your presets are located.

Then find the preset,

Open the preset using either notepad or notepad++

 

 

Simply add your TAWOBA there as a group.

Assuming of course your armor mod converter was not lazy and actually made a group file for it(happens often ><)

 

 

This picture here looks like the body is not shaping properly at all with this armor, although if this is TAWOBA the armor parts dont come packaged as a full suit so this is not default item here being shown.  But if you see something like this well you need to usually swap the body out with the reference body to fix it up.

Anyway, another issue that can come up sometimes....

 

Bodyslide is exporting your files where too?

So Bodyslide normally exports the files to the games default folders but if it does and your using a virtual folder system such as MO2 or Vortex well those programs are going to use the armors from their virtual folders over what is in the games default folders.

So that would mean your TAWOBA is using the shipped default stuff not your exported Bodyslide stuff.

This can happen if you did not set up Bodyslide Correctly with your Mod Manager.

Next solution,

 

Make sure you have the CBA bodyslide slider set for the CBA body actually installed, if you have done so just double check and reinstall it.

The body shown in the preview is CBBE based, although CBBE and CBA are both CBBE bodies it does not matter you need CBA specifically with its slider files installed to make outfits fit for it.

 

For that matter I could name off a few more bodies that are CBBE based,

TBD, CBA+, and I think there is another over on Korean website.

CACO another CBBE body derivitive 

There at least 3.

Hi! Thank you for responding, I have been going through what you have been saying step by step. 

 

First the groups are there yes, bear in mind this mod was working fine. I used an old preset I made and last worked with and it didn't work.

Second the picture with the full dwarven armor is from a different TAWOBA set I tested(First was Sun Jeongs<3) And the mesh doesn't even show up in the game. That pic is a preview from the dwarven specifically but other armor sets do have the right body filling it out. I pointed this picture out because  the stupid small body within the dwarven armor is what is showing up in Sun Jeongs Armor as the main body. I have a question about that, is it a skeleton creating that tiny body? Or would it be body nif files or the bikini nif files?

 

As for where is it being exported? I have uploaded pictures of exactly where things go. My main game install is on my main SSD hardrive. My mod folder is in an external HDD. I did recently move my mod folder from my SSD to my HDD to save space and I have changed location for where things are found. In my pictures is where each things go for reference.

 

In the third picture I choose the skeleton in the BODYSLIDE mod. Am I supposed to use that or the on in XPMSE Skeleton mod folder?

 

I use CBPC. 3BA and HDT SMP. Though the Body and physics are fine it is literally just the mesh for Bikini armor that is making me wanna tear my hair out.

 

Thank you for your time.

Ahh,

 

I think you have the wrong output path for Bodyslide set up.

 

Your Out put pathing puts the files into Bashed Patch Folder but buries the files deeper into CalienteTools\Bodyslide

 

We want the output path to put the files into

 

E:\Modding\MO2\Mods\YOUR MOD FOLDER NAME FOR YOUR BODYSLIDE FILES\

 

Your output path is putting the files into a location where the game wont find them, so it is using default files that came packed with the mods.

 

Usually the Bodyslide Folder only has Meshes folder inside it but I chucked some of my other stuff in there such as SKSE preset data.

[Gurofiend24]

Argh that sounded promising so I replaced the meshes in the TAWOBA folder with the ones in the Bashed folder but it still didn't work! ;--; Like I said every other Armor bodyslide I use works and is all outputted to my bashed folder, literally just Tawoba doesn't.

[Gurofiend24]

I reinstalled Bodyslide and that was what fixed it. I have no fucking idea why. Fffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. Thanks for your time gameplayer. Literally never touched bodyslide itself and it decided to shit itself out of no where.

Oh man haha, well sometimes weird stuff happens, time to spread around some bikini goodness for the sake of the people of Skyrim!
