Ok I tested things a bit - this issue is really weird. I think it's not connected to how mods made or how any combinations of mod work together - most likely it's the part of bigger issue with how Aloy's custom models load to game - i.e. sometimes they don't load at all when you try to change outfits. I think this also happens sometimes with outfit replacements from other modders.

 

So, when I need to delete outfit parts - I can't actually delete them completely - I replace them with some tiny meshes from same outfit parts (small rivots, rings, rope pieces, etc.) and hide them inside Aloy body model. When you change outfits - some of those small parts (but not all of them strangely) get detached from Aloy skeleton completely - they just float around by using same world coordinates as Aloy (also they get prolonged poligons sometimes).

I can't fix this issue - only thing I can do on my part is maybe scale down those small parts even more so they can be less notisable then appear. I'm not sure it can be fixed at all - the only one who can maybe try to fix it is id-daemon if he change somehow his packing method so game can load custom files in more robust way.

How can you avoid it on your side? Looks like during load of the game you have highest chance to load custom files correctly without any bugs (if outfit was already applied to Aloy before save). So, here kinda working solution:

• Select outfit and Apply It.
• Close inventory and make sure custom outfit is visible in-game.
• Save the game and then Load that new save right away.
• After that don't change outfit at all to avoid faulty load of custom files - avoid even opening outfits preview menu.
• Want to change outfit again - repeat all steps again.

 

those lines go away for me when i change outfits back and forth

Hey hornycopter could we get VarOE variants with boots and everything else SFW, NSFW and topless versions and also VarTR variants without capes with everything else SFW, NSFW and topless versions and also without capes and barefoot with everything else SFW, NSFW and topless versions on top of all the versions we already have ?

I know this is quite a lot to ask but that would be incredible if that could be done thanks.

Jesus christ, dude. You want a golden house from him while you're at it???

Let's just let the man rest a little. He's already adding new outfits and trying to fix faulty mod issues, and I think the mod problems getting a workaround or fix is more important than "can she have boots too cos toes yucky"

I tested your ideas HC... this "swap outfit back and forth" theory seems to work for everything BUT the TR nude armor variation (the pic I posted before). This is the only one I have found that continuously loads in with incorrect textures/black lines/missing pixels. No matter what we do in regards to your steps, it doesn't get that outfit variation to work

Shame, as that's the one I was most looking forward to using. But for now I'll play around with other TR variations and try a different one, until I guess the mod itself perhaps gets a fix for this outfit. Thanks for all your hard work so far man.

[kingcody]

OMG OKAY I GOT IT WORKING!!! @hornycopter

SO it turns out the issue wasn't at all related to your mod, it was the ALOY SKIMPY MAIN mod!!! I was selecting LOINCLOTH version of the main mod, then trying to load the TR variation nude with armor flaps... this was causing the game to incorrectly try to load a non-existent loincloth for Aloy when I was trying to use a nude variation for her ass.
 

Holy shit I feel so dumb, but soooo relieved to have figured it out with trial and error!  

Leaving this here in case it helps other people -- be SURE if you want a bare butt you NEED to NOT have selected the loincloth pack, ONLY the topless pack. I'll leave a pick here of my mod load order too, if anyone needs. I also bumped up the TR armor (as it's the main one I wanted to use) to the top of the mod order.

PRAISE BE TO YEVON!

Wow shill out man I haven't been active on this forum for over a week so I haven't catch up, I literally said that I know this is a lot to ask for and if it can't be done it's totally cool and if he can but in like a month or 2 it's cool too really.

 

Also btw I literally also asked for a barefoot version with everything else of the VarTR mod and I really like having her barefoot, I would just like to have the option to have boots on the VarOE and barefoot without the cape and everything else on the VarTR mod that's literally it.

There's a difference between asking for a lot, and being egregious.

Anyway, back to modding

I mean the main request if for only 2 more variations if possible so the VarOE with boots and everything else and VarTR barefoot without the cape and everything else.

 

That's literally it, if that's too much to ask fair enough and I LITERALLY said and I quote "I know this is quite a lot to ask but that would be incredible if that could be done thanks"

 

So no need to act this way guys really.

 

Anyway I think I'm no longer gonna post on this forum and only gonna do so on Nexus Mods directly because you guys seems to take everything the wrong way for some reason.

I got better idea - why bother with singular puny variation - when I can create you exclusive ULTIMATE one! It will include all parts from all outfits! 🤩



You just need to wait a little bit - estimated time I think will be only two years. 😉

Ok yeah, that's makes sense - gonna try something in the future to mitigate this problem. For now bundle only has Sobeck's Raiment outfit as extra, so if you don't care about it - you can just disable bundle for now and use just separate outfit archives.

Amazing reply to the greedy. 

Also yeah, it's not a big thing now that I worked it out @hornycopter, I don't know why (in retrospect) I was trying to use a bare ass variation and enabling the loincloth main file lmao. I missed hard there hahaha. But it works now so all good!!!

Dunno - your first post reads as - add/remove something to every existing variation - so x2 number of total variations for each OE and TR outfits.
And looks like I wasn't the only one who interpreted it like that.

And I still have trouble to understand what variations do you want exactly, even after your other posts.

Is it already possible to use body paint interchangeable, so not bound to a outfit or is that still some way off?

You can interchange masks, but not the color - I mensioned it here. Color looks like is hardcoded somethere in outfit files - it won't be easy to find I think.

It’s already updated in Mod Manager. I’m not 100% sure, but from what I’ve tried so far, everything used by Mod Managers seems to be independent.

 

i was using a old version, got it working now thx

[watcherwings]

Hi hornycopter, thank you for your mods! I had a question, I was able to remove the cape from the TR-Armor Bottomless and TR- Nude Bottomless. I wanted to add the naughty bra without the thong to these variants. I wanted to confirm if that is possible? To me it looks like the naughty bra and naughty thong are always together in the mesh Files List.

[kingcody]

@hornycopterthere's a NO-CAPES mod on nexus, would this stack with your TR SFW armor? Trying to keep the bra but lose the cape

If it changes .core files of outfits - almost certainly they won't work together - .core file contains some info about every mesh of outfit to load them correctly - different meshes - different info must be written to .core file. You will get best luck if you remove .core files (for outfits affected by my mods) from No-Capes mod before installing it on top of my mods - though you might still get some visual bugs.

Is it possible to bring in the areola and smaller nipples from your Lara mod into this game? Also a lighter brown and light pink areola options? 

Yeah, those nipples have been bothering me a bit too, they still look too artificial, like 3D acorns.

If this is how realistic nipples should look on 3d model in your opinion - then I'll respectfully disagree.

Most likely I'll create "HC Aloy - Body Textures Customizer" after few new outfits. Most likely it will also include some color variations for nipples too at some point.

Nah, I'm a BIG fan of your current Aloy nipples... and their size! But yeah some colour variations/textures could be INCREDIBLE

Se é assim que os mamilos realistas devem ficar em um modelo 3D, na sua opinião, então discordo respeitosamente.

Provavelmente criarei o "HC Aloy - Personalizador de Texturas Corporais" depois de alguns looks novos. Provavelmente, ele também incluirá algumas variações de cor para os mamilos em algum momento

My friend, I'm not at war with anyone; your mod is the most incredible work ever done for Aloy. In any case, SW Outlaws doesn't accept edits to its 3D models. I don't know if your attempt to humiliate me for something that can't be done would be appropriate. I apologize and disappear. That's all I can do.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. Just you can't get any useful info from "looks like 3d acorn"...  maybe only if you were making Aloy with a dick 😄 ... similar to dick that I can be sometimes 😁

Also it's most common request for adults mods ever and it's gets annoying really fast - I heard it enough even for my very first "texture only" mod and then a ton more after - make them bigger, no make them smaller - make them lighter, no make them darker - make them flatter , no pointier ... etc.

Now I just slowly try to improve all parts as I please step by step and not get stuck on something miniscule for to long, so there always will be some compromises.

Few days ago I actually increased details for body textures a bit, nipples included - will release it in next small update alongside various models fixes. So maybe it will be good news to you,

@hornycopter

 

FWIW (not much probably), I think the nipples look great. I seriously don't get why anyone would think they don't look realistic, and I'm not going to rudely speculate about it 😉

 

... but I guess I will say... there's a lot of variety in the real world, and if people have never seen nipples like these... well, maybe they should go see if they can change that. It's even more fun to see them in person 😜🙃

[Demonwise]

Let us all stop to remember the fact that we have mods at all is purely due to the grace of mod creators' good and giving nature. We should be grateful that we get mods at all. If we are to make further requests, it should be made with all due humility and understanding. Temper your expectations and know that the mod creators owe, you, me, nor anyone else absolutely anything. Any initial and continued consideration of the community's requests for additions, tweaks or changes is entirely dependent upon their whim and fancy or willingness.

 

@hornycopter Thank you so much for the mod. Your continued dedication to this game as well as your work on Tomb Raider are incredible. Truly some of the best mods I have ever had the pleasure of using.
