[Obsolete] Pregnancy Scaling Body - for Bodyslide2

[daggerfish]

Following initial video by Aveck, STEP BY STEP and continuously encountering the SAME issue. After loading PSB, then the outfit to convert, I _never_ have a duplicate shape, even if I where to use an armor already converted by another mod. The only options that display are the ones under 'New Outfit' on the right, and NONE of the sliders do ANYTHING.

Incredibly frustrating, because the tutorial video breezes right over this. The minute the armor is opened, all those options I'm missing appear and the sliders function. I feel like a step was carelessly left out of the video and is resulting in me going borderline crazy right now.

So much for how easy and simple BS2 is to use. I'm sure it's 100% user error on my part and that there is a way to get this to work, but the whole point of a tutorial video is to SHOW you how to do something, not skip steps and assume people magically know how.

I am having an issue where my PSB body is what it is no matter what I put the sliders on. The breasts are semi torpedo, not bad, just not what I set the sliders at. I have tried making massive breasts and tiny's, but the only thing I can seem to effect in the final outcome is general size. The shape is always the same. All effects work smoothly though.

 

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

 

I have also tried to use HDT collisions, but I am a long way off from mastering that piece of fickle strangeness. I did get it to work though! It is just jittery and buggy.

Ok so I freely admit this is probably me having a durrrr moment and forgetting a step or doing something out of order. Recently I had to re-install all my mod in order to properly set up realvision ENB, all that worked fine. But getting my sexlab stuff up and running has hit one tiny snag. A snag I didn't have before I re-installed everything, hence my belief I missed something.

 

I have the PSB, both files from the pregnancy weighted version of the remodeled ct77 armors, the original remodeled armors, and the XP32 skeleton. So I drag, drop and install per instructions. I am using Hentai Pregnancy in game with the inflation slide set to 100 to make sure the belly node expands as its supposed to, no problems when unclothed. Everything works fine it seems.

 

The problem comes in with the armors. Rather than not changing shape at all, the armor is responding to increases in size (using 1 hour waits to check on a 2 day pregnancy) breasts expand quite a lot, could set a television n them by the end, belly expands marginally, it moves, but it doesn't match the shape of the naked belly, its larger than it is when not pregnant, but its quite a lot smaller than naked, I hesitate to say it looks flat, because I am not sure its the same "pancake" look described in the FAQ, but its like the sides are expanding but the "roundness" is not .

 

The odd part is the armor is expanding  as if to accommodate the belly, there is about (using totally no realistic reference whatsoever) what I would describe as a 3-4 inch gap between the belt of the remodeled dwarf chest waistband area and the belly and moves down in a curved fashion as it to support the curve of the belly during pregnancy, which returns to its normal shape when the pregnancy ends.

 

so for the TL;DR folks

 

1- Naked Belly expands fine after Bodyslide

2- Armor expands to accommodate belly after bodyslide

3- Breasts expand in armor and outside of armor just fine

4- Belly in armor doesn't expand more than a few inches leaving a gap between the armor and body.

 

what am I missing, i've been banging my head against Bodyslide for 2 days now trying to get it to work the way I had it working before

 

 

[Ms.Diddler]

When I "Create Bodies" in for the PSB group, does that affect all Ct77 armour or just the ones listed on the first post? I saw that this was asked on a previous page but wasn't addressed.

If it's the latter, does anyone have the converted armours and is willing to share?

 

EDIT: I've gotten the base PSB (included with the installation) to work in game, but the trying to create bodies for the other ones makes my game CTD when I load a save.

[Ragnaroy]

Hey, sorry if this issue has been reported before, but after adapting an armor, one of the pieces is off, the problem is that i had moved the vertices on the outfit studio, and every other piece is fine.

bodyslide2 does not transfer the weight paints perfectly from nude mesh to armor. I believe the next version of BS2 is attempting to improve the body-weight transfer. Having attempted a few conversions, I've found that weight painting needs a few extra features, a few refinements in weight transfer to work as intended. 

 

Particularly for the belly node, which stretches quite a bit, a few .01s of paint variance can cause anything from "gaps", poly spikes to blocky poly/mesh. I'm waiting for next release of BS2 before committing too much time to the process. It can be done, but you will have to set your brush to lowest value and multi-click each vertex while counting.... while subtracting/adding for mesh deformation -- not fun, believe me, I've tried. I did build a very clean weight-painted body mesh from the default CalienteBody.nif CalienteBody.nif for HDT Physics, but the process was far from optimal. 

 

.. also, there is a likelihood that a CBBE high poly/vertex mesh will be available around the next BS2 release, perhaps exceeding many of the UNP and other mesh, making other mesh pretty much obsolete. This will also help when weight-painting extreme deformations such as belly nodes. 

[Ragnaroy]

Also, has anyone tried to adapt the scarlet dawn armor ? Because it seems impossible to me.

 

Is there a pack of the vanilla clothes that are PSB ready ?

[Daycrist]

sadly this messed up my characters and brought back the dreaded hip holes again

 

Edit: I cannot fix this either thank you for this....wish it came with a warning. Now time to spend hours upon hours to remove everything and reinstall it

[Fenderstat]

I keep getting the ctd.  Heres what i do.  Instal xp32, install CBHSC, install Caliente, install bodyslide 2, install this, change to psb, load preset, start game, disrobe, ctd.

 

I don't have joy of perspective and nothing overwrites.  Suggestions?

[Bullw]

Sup! few questions regarding the big belly slider.

 

1. The visible effect of the slider in bodyslide, is that how it will look in game, or does it only affect/show during preg?

2. Accidentally built all my armor, forgetting about that particular slider, so all armor have been built with LOW: bigbelly 0%, HIGH: bigbelly 50%, again will it affect anything? (using ct77's remodeled)

 

Thanks for any answers.

[IDontKnowAnymore]

So this happened to me :

 

Anyone know what happened or how to help me?

[Daycrist]

 

 

PSB is outdated and will not work well with CBBEv3 I had issues with it myself use the new HDT body it works the same but with BBP and TBBP

[Golgo13]

Can this be used just to create a body that morphs with the pregnancy mods like I was expecting it did when I installed it?

 

After I discovered that all I could do was "Create Body," which would, of course, result in no improvement over what I was doing, before, I read this thread, where it appeared that installing the mod was only, apparently, the tip of the submerged super-continent.  I had to delete my whole game to install this mod-- since I got terminal CTD's when I first installed it into my existing game-- and I did it just because I was sick of Estrus Chaurus creating only grossly deformed breasts, and this mod was supposed to be the method for causing pregnant abdomens to scale correctly. 

 

Trying to get those outfits changed looks like a job for a dedicated modder; that's not important to me.  Is it possible just to get the body changed?  If so, how?

[crusher]

skyrim modding is definitely a "submerged super-continent"; expect this as the rule rather than exception. Use ModOgranizer and never 're-install' game again. Here Zecoron's is one of the best Mesh going if you want 'nude' pregnancy, Lothar and many others have mods that provide armor conversions for pregnancy effect. Most of the SL Preggy mods are still under heavy development, likewise there are many new features added to these mesh as HDT Physics, so things are getting compounding-ly more complicated. Check out the HDT stuff, a good skeleton can be found there. Keep eyes on Blabba's work, he's the best tutorials for getting going and is also working to improved meshes for these type of features.

 

...   the direction of this whole thing is heading for better mesh weight paints, a high poly mesh and a good skeleton to support it. All can be found here, and if you're like me you can change around the weight paints using BS2 and Blabba's tutorials to customize your own belly, breasts and bounce. [check previous page for my .nif file with cleaner weight-paint]

 

Unfortunately, if you don't customize these details yourself, you'll need to find a balance between all the mods provided by others. Quick tip, using HDT's Just For Fun app, you can move around the xml breast values to 'un-deform' them where they are acting oddly. 

 

[Golgo13]

Yeah, I've long been well aware that modding is a submerged super-continent.  That's why I don't call myself a modder, just a user... and only a semi-experienced one, at that.  I've been using mods for various games for nine years (the year I first got some medicine to treat my chronic pain syndrome and get out of bed-- kind of memorable).  Then, since I'm disabled, Medicare Part D started helping me afford more of my drugs when it was implemented the following year.  But, the chronic, intractable migraines make playing, not modding, the games my diversion.  My photophobia severely limits my computer time.  The white, snowy environments in Skyrim are as hard for me to take as anything on my screen; but, the wooded and subterranean environments prolong the time I can play.  Incidentally, I really like the way that this site was set up with a dark background (I'm also color-blind, so I'll leave it at "dark;" I suspect that it's brown, green or gray)-- it probably means nothing to most people, but, for me, it's like a gift of "indoor beach volleyball" to an albino.  After nine years, I still call myself only a semi-experienced mod user. 

 

I use NMM; but, once the game starts CTD-ing as soon as I try opening it, or the XPMS skeleton won't install, anymore (or, it gives a message that it was installed, but still indicates as not installed on NMM), things are just hopelessly eff-ed up.

 

I'd hoped that someone who'd already conquered the learning curve on this stuff had handled it.  That's what I'd thought I was downloading... a mod add-on to Bodyslide that created a "pregnant" version of your body that your 'toon could morph into when the occasion arose.  My obviously erroneous reading of the description had led me to believe that I would start with my TBBP preset, then create a "PSB" body version that included "pregnancy" alterations added by Bodyslide to be called up when a pregnancy mod needed it.  The concept of hundreds of people all being required to learn to build their own Model T ("here's how to build a jig; here's how to cast an engine block out of pig iron; here's how to slaughter a cow, tan its hide, and upholster seats out of it; here's how to grow rubber trees, extract latex, create rubber, form it into tires, gaskets, belts, horn bulbs, etc.; here's the Vulcanization process....") with no one offering them pre-assembled, literally didn't occur to me .

 

What this mod actually does, and how, is still not completely clear to me.  IMHO, the description page badly needs a prominent, unambiguous warning that this is a modder's resource only, and cannot be used by anyone who considers himself merely a mod user, not a modder, himself.  The hours of frustration I wasted trying to figure out how to get this to work, together with the thought of the many hours I spent installing, testing and playing my previous game which I threw away to try to install this when I ultimately had no hope of ever getting anything out of it still has me feeling so fed-up with this damned game that I don't even want to see it for a little while.

 

But, thanks, a lot, for your pleasant reply.  I'm feeling so sick with this migraine, atm, that I can't be very good company.

mod organizer is a good starting point for understanding how to mod effectively. S.T.E.P Project has the best tutorial for MO. MO also has optional dark background similar to this site. MO has a several week learning curve, but once you learn the many features you'll be able to test things really fast when 'modding' skyrim, and never suffer from a re-install again, as no files are actually placed in your skyrim directory. An all-in-one is very difficult to author, as the many different mod authors are constantly updating there work, the many parts of an all-in-one... the only way to do an all-in-one is set up a "category" in MO and test various mods for character model, then a category for armor.. as modders we 'are' the authors of or own custom all-in-ones.

 

[alphabuddy]

Could somebody ,PLEASE, explain me how this mod works? For me it's either everybody is pregnant, either none, but not a chance on having a belly that actually grows... Yes, I have used the bigbelly slider 50-60%, yes I've installed it correctly, yes I have Hentai Pregnancy mod. Please?

If you changing the slider in bodyslide to pregnant belly, that is why all you bodies then have it.

 

If you leave that at zero and your pregnancy mod is properly installed it should scale, mind you it scales slightly slow over time upwards.

[Zephyrion]

Does the femalebody_1_msn.dds for the Optional Normal go in "meshes/actors/characters/Character assets"?

Finally managed to make it work .

Hello everybody, 

I am pretty sure this problem have already been solved but my english is too poor to find the answers so :

have a strange issue with the pack because stormcloaks guards armors -vanilla and remodelled- seems to overlaps each others I get something like this : 

 

http://i.imgur.com/bbrY4Cb.jpg

 

http://i.imgur.com/aD0uxaZ.jpg

 

So I would like to know how toget back to the vanilla armor or/and how to fix this. 

I do have tried some things but it didn't work and had to reinstall Skyrim. 

[ichigo99912]

can someone help me with this when every i try to do this it ether does not work or crashes my game if someone could tell me how to use bodyslider that would be great 

[VaunWolfe]

Is there a way to use the unpb body?

[Neliahawk]

i wonder if its "normal" (or a bug or some sort) that a pregnant body in-game looks a bit different from what it does in the bodyslide preview...

i.e. in the first screenshot below you see that the area between vagina and the belly doesn't seem to be affected for a bit and in the preview the roundness of the belly goes all the way down.

 

its just the default CBBE body (think with belly 40 to 80 and big belly 50 to 60 or something around that).

i did try out a bunch of different sliders and it seems the part above the genital area is always "ignored" compared to what it shows in bodyslide when i slide around the pregnant belly slider.

i.e. big belly 0 and big belly 100 there too the part below the "round belly" isn't affected.

 

while testing around i did try out the "b3lisario UNPB BBB pregnant body" and that as example did make the round belly go all the way down.

 

did test around in "beeing female" and "procreation", 3rd trimester and i think belly scale was 4 or 6. (maybe i should test hentai pregnancy for this too.)

 

its not really a big problem, just an "oddity" i noticed and wondered if that is normal or if something is bugged for me that the in-game pregnant belly seems to be a bit different than the bodyslider preview.

i mean.. shouldn't it basically just "increase" the pregnantbelly "node" in-game in the same way as moving the pregnantbelly slider around in bodyslide does change the body? or is a different slider used in-game? or is the in-game scaling of the node different from moving around the slider in bodyslide?

 

*shrugs* i don't know, so i just thought i ask quickly if that is just "normal" or if anyone else noticed this or if its a known "problem" or so.

[Capirex9]

Weirdly enough, after re-installing Skyrim and all of my mods completly, the bra-texture from the dragonscale amor is now missing.
I already installed all the textures from the required list, but it doesn´t seem to be in there.
Anyone got a clue?
