CBBE presets not working (Anniversary edition)

[Michael123487]

Hi guys! so I recently tried my hand with modding Skyrim again after the anniversary update and for some reason I can't get CBBE presets to work in my game!! the standard "curvy, slim" and so on work for some reason, but if I alter them myself with bodyslide they don't apply in game. I actually tried using the "touched by Dibella" preset and the naked body works in game, but the clothes don't morph with the body for some reason?? I've tried a bunch of stuff to no avail, so I hope you guys can help me out 😆

You likely built one set instead of all the sets you have (a set can be an outfit or the naked body, ideally you want to build all the sets at once using one or two presets).

1. Make sure you save the changes you made to any preset (and ideally as a separate preset so you don't lose the original preset).
2. When you're sure on which preset you want to use, confirm there are to filters applied (the two search boxes at the top-right corner of the program).
3. Select the preset you want to use (second field in the top-left corner of the program).
4. Then enable the body morph setting near the Batch build button (bottom-left corner of the program) and then press that Batch build button.
   1. This will likely prompt a list with all the sets you can build, enable them all.
   2. And if you get a second list with different choices for some sets you'll need to pick between each option (it's likely a choice between a physics enabled or no physics outfit or something like that).
5. When you're done picking your choices and continue, BS will finally start building all the sets you previously chose. Then you can go in game and check the results.

So TL;DR: use Bodyslide as intended. If the instructions above are not enough I'd recommend you to look for a video or another written guide detailing the step by step to use the program.

I really appreciate the help! but sadly I'm familiar with all the basic controls/mechanics of bodyslide and none of these worked for me. do you have a video/guide you could recommend me? I'd appreciate it a ton

Update post: I finally found the issue! the output path had somehow become a different folder then the custom one I had set for it. in hindsight it was probably the first place I should have checked, but I guess I just focused on the wrong places. thanks for the support and have a good one!
