here is the log

Papyrus.0.log 224.92 kB · 1 download

According to the log, 
You PC is being filtered as invalid target for the rest of the bare scripts. 

If a character is male, is in combat, is in a SL scene, or if its bound via DD, then it will not be processed anymore. 
This means that is not even checking the arousal state

I prefer other NPC, not just only mine (a male)
And i tested it near other female
Unchecked "PC only" in mcm

Double check that you have the latest version. 
The log messages seem to be from an older version. 

Also In your log is not even trying to search for NPCs

Papyrus.0.log

This new log is much more consistent with the latest release, it is finding the NPC and it is analyzing it, however It seems to be failing on the SLA only flow. 
It seems there is an error in initializing the SLA variables, but I cannot see any obvious error in the code. 

I will not be able to look at this in full detail for a couple days. 

In the meantime, try again with a new game, but first delete the custom variables files ini (can be in the overwrite overwrite/MCM/Settings/BARE_ArousalUndress.ini)
Then try playing around with the thresholds in game and send me the log if it doesn't fix it.

I'm not sure if it is normal, but the mcm of the vsu only have one button "rebuild database" nothing else
Tesing with custom _VSU.ni file, to prevent dupblicate
Ps: nope

I'm sorry, but i think it's time to give up

[Arkbar.]

I tested internally, there is nothing wrong on my side,

My best bet, is that you are missing a requirement, most probably MCM helper.

Does this work with VR?  I have a couple different load orders which were working fine, but the always crash on the title screen/play area.  I have just enough time to hit a button and move a little. 

None of the crashlog analyzers were conclusive, I tried rerunning Nemesis too, tried sorting it with LOOT standalone, tried manually sorting it, moving BARE up and down the load order.  

It was one of my favorite mods in SE/AE and I'd love to see it working in VR, but if I'm barking up the wrong tree it'd be nice to know that too lol 
Regardless, it's a cool mod, and thanks to whoever takes the time to read this.  

[Arkbar.]

Sorry,

I don't know if it works with VR. I don't own VR, nor I have any manner of testing it.

 

The mod depends on quite a few extenders maybe one of those is not compatible with VR

[SmokeyBluntz]

Yeah, think that might be the case.  I had it launch and played for a few hours, but it crashed right when the cute elf girl was gonna' pop a titty out.  

Story of my life.... 

Not sure if I could help test anything, but I'm glad to if that's possible.  
We all deserve to see a titty pop out in VR.

[Arkbar.]

Well,

 

I know there is a bug when dealing with NPC right now, I've yet to figure it out.

 

However if you have a log and a crashlog I could take a look at it and see why its failing.

I wasn't sure what you meant by the other log, so I posted the SKSE one.  
I'm also not using the AND integration, and Dylbill's papyrus, since the latter always crashed my game even the one time I got BARE working.  (Also I play a male character and I couldn't find anything to make me whip my hog out for BARE so that part didn't seem necessary at the moment.)  

[Arkbar.]

I meant the papyrus log, 
you have to modify your ini settings for it, you could use bethini though as its easier.

 

--

The crash log, means nothing to me, is nowhere near anything related to BARE

[SmokeyBluntz]

I can't get the papyrus.0.log file to generate.  Tried making the changes and using the Skyrim VR Configuration tool to generate one on crash, but it's not doing anything for me.  I can't find anything conclusive related to BARE in any of my logs either, unfortunately... 

[Folx]

I found this mod require BEES and Scrab's Papyrus Extender. I advise that you should add them into the Requirements.

[Arkbar.]

Nice catch, 

A complete oversight with the Scrab extender.

 

Bees I did not know (though I should have)

just in case you weren't aware, but I'm reasonably sure you might be, but I'll still mention it just in case. AND updated to 2.6.2 as of January 5th, but as of 2.6.0 it mentions that AND no longer scans for BARE on game load or startup to enable dynamic modesty. so, not sure if you have an update to BARE planned so that it will work with AND again, but if you do, and it might be relatively soon, I might just wait to try to play a new game so that I can grab a working version of BARE. since I already updated AND when my MCM wasn't appearing for AND to see if it'd fix it.

I think this is a logical optimization, allowing mods to register within the framework mod, rather than having the framework mod integrate and scan dozens of mods that may have soft requirements.

In terms of the update dates of the two, BARE is likely to be incompatible with AND versions 2.6.0 and above.

If I understand correctly, this update prevents BARE from modifying the threshold for modesty animations. However, BARE can still determine whether your attire aligns with your current level based on the Modesty faction.

On my device(BARE-0.9.9;AND-2.6.2), BARE modified the character's clothing state, but it triggered the modsety animations. If my character is brimming arousal, she may not so shy.

Hi, I love the idea of the mod but cant get it to work. Got AND and VSU working, also got the authors configs for testing but nothing happens. I did rebuild VSU and BARE in the MCM, set arousal level to 10 and made sure im above it. I just equip armor from the authors configs and nothing happens, no change. I have no idea what Im doing wrong. Only thing im unsure of if Im placing the configs in the right place, attached screenshot

I'm well aware of the update, but BARE works perfectly fine as it is with the latest AND version.

If anything it suggest that I should turn on DynamicModesty with bare if bare is running and using AND mode, I could do that, but is a very minor update from my side, which can easily be solved by the user going to the mod page and turning on dynamic modesty on the MCM

 

Unless I'm missing something I'm currently ignoring. The point is that there is no urgency for me to update BARE as is already compatible with latest AND version.

No, BARE Is compatible with latest AND version, I've never modified any of AND variables, I just read them.

You just you need to tweak the MCM menu manually. 
I may add in the future a tweak that ensures that dynamic modesty is on if the user is using BARE-AND mode, but is not a very high priority for me right now

That is probably a misunderstanding.

 

AND has a modesty override for the cover animations, which is set at roughly 75-85 (configurable). 

Modesty animation depend on those 2 factors only: Is your dressing state warrant you covering up, Is your arousal above the AND arousal modesty threshold 

 

Bare uses arousal to change the dress state 

For example if your armor is covered, and you are top comfortable (happy showing bra), your arousal swap could be at 70 so now you show your chest , but your AND arousal thresohold be at 80. therefore you can go from covered to showing chest at an arousal below your modesty animation threshold

 

Remember that BARE uses a lowering threshold for incrementing modesty ranks, so there are some corner cases like the one you described in which the player swaps the state, but still covers itself

 

There is an argument as you said that if you change your dress state based on arousal, then you shouldn't cover, however the opposite also makes sense

 

Picture this scenario:
your character is aroused enough and starts fondling her breasts which leaves them exposed, but is not aroused enough as to disregard being seen by just anyone.

 

I could implement a toggle like (BARE_SWAP_does not cover) or something like that, but I'd have to think how to do it and if It truly makes sense

How are you sure VSU is working ? 
To get the outfits to change the configuration files need to be installed correctly, unfortunately the zip/unzip process of MO2 leaves them in an improper location, you must make sure that the configurations live in DATA/VSU (see screenshot)

 

The list of outfits I have are mostly from sunjeong, and those like the cosplay pack provided by their users. For regular vanilla outfits I have no configuration

I did provide some configuration using the KSO mage robes, but those require a bit of additional setup for them to work

is dynamic modesty in the AND MCM or the BARE MCM? just wondering as if I remember correctly I don't have the AND MCM in my latest new game.
