SlaveTats\RaceMenu problem

[Elvenar]

ScreenShot35.bmpScreenShot36.bmp

I don't know why but tats and racemenu overlays are broken in that way. Just not visible on characters. How to fix?

The only thing I can think of is to check the SKEE64.ini and search for the lines with "overlays". They have to be enabled and there should also be a line that tells how many overlays are enabled

I think you get a higher chance for help if you convert the bmp to jpg (jpg will show up a picture right away) before uploading them. Takes (perceived) forever to download stuff from posts.

Just open the bmp screenshot with any graphics editor and save it as jpg.

Couldn't find this ini file.

Before the confusion starts, is that Skyrim LE?

What kind of tats/overlays are you trying to apply?

Did you ever change your Nioverride.ini (for more slots and resolution)

 

I never saw issues like that, I'm not even sure if the bright part is the original skin or the brown one.

What skin replacer did you install?

No matter what tats or overlays, they all look like that. 
Nope. I didn't touched nioverride.ini

Bright part is original. Brown is tattoo. For males I use Tempered Skins and Fair Skin Comlexion for females.

What needs to be correctly installed and work for tats/overlays:

SKSE

Racemenu (includes nioverride)

 

Slavetats (LE version)

JContainers (don't overwrite with anything)

 

SkyUI

only if you have enough variations of different mod authors that you can be sure it's not only an issue with a certain pack

• Overlay limit, Racemenu and Slavetats
  • default is 3 overlay slots/body area
  • not a real limit, just change settings in nioverride.ini:
  •   Hide contents

    For the lazy nioverride.ini with face overlays enabled and 20 overlay slots active: nioverride 20slots and face active.7z

     

    What needs to be changed in nioverride.ini to get more overlay slots (color marks the spot):

mostly interesting if you try to apply more than 3 tats on one area
