Excellent, can you confirm if a new game is necessary for the fix to work, or if the reset button is enough ?

somedudes5 · August 25, 2025

it just works man, no new game needed. Although my save is still kinda new so who knows in the long run.

somedudes5 · August 25, 2025

one more question, trying to set up configs for Caenarvon cosplay gala. But i'm not getting the swap so i am definitely doing something wrong. the community resource page has two sets of configs for cosplay pack. The one that is just BARE_Caenarvon_cosplay_pack.ini and the one that is CosplayPack_VSU.ini from the converted configs.

The CP_VSU file from converted configs does it like this

i added the one for the golden bikini because it was missing and that seems to be working now.

but when i try to add the cosplay gala outfits they do not seem to work, example the Golden order patricia outfit

normal Form ID FE001DE1

lewd Form ID FE001DE6

is that correct or does it need the 1 in front of the DE1/DE6? i wasn't sure because it is ESPFE

the BARE_C_C_P had this format and i have no idea if its relevant

Arkbar. · August 25, 2025

You probably need the 1.

Anyways I use

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/103494

To copy the form ids properly.

I did not do either of the cp configs.

I just ran a script that converted some VSU configs to the bare format. I did not test them because I don't use them ( the cosplay pack is good, but I cannot fit it in my game)

...

PS: thanks for confirming that it doesn't need for a new save. The new save would be to ensure that all parameters of the script are properly initialized, since is a new version the reset may not have worked perfectly, but since it works I can be at easy. Furthermore if the scripts bugs out, the reset may fix it

I couldn't get the tool to work, seems to be for an older version of Xedit. I did find an all in one resource on Nexus that had gala files set up for VSU use and didn't have any complaints aobut it not working. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/119821?tab=files

i also pulled IDS in while in game using a mod called modex https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/137877?tab=files to confirm last 3 were correct.

(universal config)

(my configs)

i'm using the same form IDs and its not working. I also went back and check the regular pack, and not all of them are working like i had orginally assumed.

not really sure what to do at this point. plenty of options that do work but i get OCD about these things.

somedudes5 · August 26, 2025

would these questions be better directed at VSU framework's author?

Arkbar. · August 26, 2025

My money would still be on errors in the config.

I also struggled quite a bit to get all the outfits to properly change in my configs.

I remember one that I had configured the armor add-on by miatake, others that were different colors, etc.

A couple of things I also tried to help debug

1- get both swaps and equip them. Maybe only 1 is really wrong

2- remember to rebuild the VSU database. I forgot more than once.

sean017 · September 1, 2025

i have an issue whereby my MCM is not showing the options, the title card comes up but it doesnt show any options. Any suggestion?

Arkbar. · September 3, 2025

DId you install MCM helper ?

I wanted to ask if there was a way to use only what was needed in the Dylbills Papyrus Function to make BARE work? When reading all the post there seems to be too much CTD. I'm on 1.5.97. Thanks!

Jerald1221 · September 10, 2025

Cosplay pack (Caenarvon) set that matches the syntax of bare (Original ids are taken from VSU for OStim Config Collection - All in One credit to the owner).

It is compatible with mod installers and has been tested to work in most outfits.

Can you post it to the community files, rather than the forum, that way there is a single and easy to use place

I'm only using 1 function from dylbillis which is the resize array function, and only at initialization.
I'm not too familiar with the features, but in principle you could disable everything in the dylbilis ini and BARE should still work.

Arkbar. · September 11, 2025

Minor Announcement.
I know I have to update BARE for the new version of AND, but I wont have time to do that for a few weeks

Unfortunately I don't use Ostim, so I'd have no way to test it.
The patch is simple in principle, I just need to figure out if an actor is being used in an OStim scene, and add the condition to the filter.

If you know the conditions, maybe I can make a patch relatively soon, however as I mentioned previously, I'm not fully able to support the mod for a couple of mods due to IRL compromises, and this falls under that category.
I'll keep it in consideration

May I ask if it is possible to create a VSU patch for Sexlab? (Using the moment before playing the animation as the node)

You'd probably have to ask the VSU's author to do that, I'm only using the framework. Also BARE latest version already respects sexlab animations so I'm not even sure what do you want to accomplish with your proposed enhancement

Your mod is based on the 'arousal threshold' for changing outfits. According to my understanding, as long as the value is reached, even if the character is "walking", it will trigger a costume change, right? And what I mean is, the costume change is based on 'animation start'. Just like how the VSU author directly creates patches for Ostim, if there are also patches compatible with Sexlab, it is equivalent to VSU applying all Sexlab related mods. VSU is simple, but it is difficult to accurately add its code to Sexlab's code. I'm just asking tentatively.

+1

Would be great to have a VSU based solution for Sexlab like there is one for OStim SA. I like the arousal based idea behind BARE, but as you saw in other comments, BARE and Sexlab scenes are conflicting. Instead of making BARE "skip" SL scenes, it should jump in and switch to lewd form if not already in lewd form (and do nothing else until the end of the scene). Then at the end of the scene, if the arousal is still high enough, stay lewd, if it dropped enough, then go back to normal version of outfit.

Arkbar. · September 21, 2025

I'm biased against that,
I'd much rather have another mod that uses SL specific logic change clothing states.

Hentairim, already handles armor swapping.
Also there is a DAV configuration for armor swaps that cares about SL scenes (Is in scrab discord server).

I'll consider it if there is truly interest in a VSU specific solution, but I'd still skip the core BARE logic during SL scenes, otherwise you'd have 2 competing logics, so it would have to be an addon (The user would not really notice the difference), still is not a high priority for me as there are already other solutions, and arguably a DAV solution is better for SL scenes than a VSU solution (Swapping the armor addon would not flicker the armor)

I've tried Hentairim, and even though it is a very nice set of functionality, there are a few things that don't quite work right, so I removed it from my load order (but I really like that they tagged so many of the individual animation scenes!). Also, the problem with DAV based solutions (I've also implemented that as well) is DAV switches Armor Addons but unfortunately, MODs like PASH/CAEKED for piercings need the Armors themselves be changed, since these sorts of MODs look for the "lewd" keyword in the name. So these solution really don't work completely. VSU is switching the Armors (which is what I'm looking for), and I liked that OStim has a VSU solution for this, but I just removed my OStim SA setup from my load since I had about 94K animations (and many overlapped, like Billyy etc.) which caused CTDs that linked back to Pandora (I'm on SE 1.5.97 by they way). My SL setup is working great, and I really am looking for just getting the Lewd outfits changed during SL scenes (with Piercings showing as applicable etc.) and not so much all the voices and so on (though the Hentairim expression are really nice too, but unfortunately the mouth keeps closing during BJs which I don't much like).

I completely respect your bias, however hope you might reconsider at some point given if you are checking to "block" BARE functionally during SL scenes (which does need to happen), it seems like a reasonable approach is just to leave on, or change to, the lewd version of the outfit until the scene ends, at which point BARE functionality resumes. Just a thought. Thanks for considering it.

I'll think about it. I hadn't thought about the PASH/CAEKD issue (I have my own caekd config for all armors I use)

At this moment in time, I think it might be better as an independent mod, and I'd probably reuse the VSU-Ostim configs.
Bare only has 2 states, this is because I have to contend with equipping items that may or may not be in the proper "BARE" state, while I was testing the scripts, with 3 states, this always caused issues.
For sex-scenes, 3 states are much better suited, and I can also unequip items depending on the scene, but that makes the script much more complex. which is why I lean towards an independent mod, or at least a parallel script (So a BARE stripping and a SL stripping scripts, when 1 is working the other is not)

If this issue is still under discussion, please allow me to interject. Of course, it is just a casual mention and not a formal request.
Dav or hentairim's clothing exchange is based on the exchange between armors addon, rather than the armors themselves. This involves an issue: if Armor comes with a script, then the 'clothing exchange' between Dav and Hentairim will lose its effectiveness. Let me give you a practical example - DD. I believe that the reason why users use DD is not only because of its appearance.
And I happen to have patches that make VSU and DD compatible. If there really is a VSU Sexlab plugin, then I don't mind releasing my patch.

Arkbar. · September 22, 2025

This is still an open discussion, I've not decided to implement the feature, but I'm not completely opposed to it.
I know very little of SL internals to do this, so if I decide to implement it, it will not be anytime soon. Also probably I'd make it depending onf SLp+, as I use P+ over regular SL, which also has (to my knowledge) a very good tagging system.

My general idea of this is to have a script or something, that whenever it changes SL animation it will chose one of the following states for the outfit:
1- Clothed state (For example BJ scene)
2- lewd 1 (Usually exposed breasts), titjob, or similar animation
3- Lewd 2 (Usually exposed pussy), penetration scenes
4- Remove (The outfit is incompatible, for example penetration scene where the outfit has panties on)

Potential issues:
1- if comming from BARE; the outfit may already be in an lewd state, but the scene will make it go back. I think there is a way in VSU that detects the current VSU state if so this can be fixed

2- delays/lack of responsiveness. BARE runs the script every X seconds, this is fine for arousal dress state, but may not be enough for SL scenes, The animations starts playing and later on it changes the outfit. I'd need to figure out a way to do this. My current guess is to have it as some sort of ability, assuming that there is a faction or something I can query,or maybe an event I can leverage, as I'm not familiar with the internals, I don't know what would be the best way to do it. (So if you know something let me know)

MalicoVuckovic · September 22, 2025

Having a separate MOD (when 1 is working the other is not) with the additional states you described above sounds like a great plan.

I don't use SLp+ since some of my mods don't actually work right with it, so I've stayed with SL v1.63 and am hoping whatever you come up with doesn't depend on something P+ has that v1.63 doesn't.
