I have the same issue.

I have all the requirements.
And have double checked them for updates.
When I cut the first line out of the MCM script the MCM loads with all the options however some are not interactable.

I think it might be something to do with MCM helper but am not certain.
Is there a specific one that I should be on?

EDIT: 
I am currently using 1.3.0 (1.5.97).
When I upgrade to 1.5.0 the MCM for BARE is blank with no picture- I do have BEES.

same here, i tried looking for help in discord servers but the dick heads kicked me out for the simplest questions, typical fat ass discord mods

I thought I give this mod a try 

I created the VSU Folder in Data as discribed in VSU 

 

I took a look into the INI files provided in the Download and Bare Community Configs

to understand how the INI files work,  to be able to create some for Armors I use

 

But now I got some Questions concerning some of the Lines in the INI files

Quote

# NINI Asker Assasin
BARE|0x805~[NINI] Asker Assassin.esp|0x807~[NINI] Asker Assassin.esp|NONE|0|1

 

So if I understood right the line above will make VSU switch from Item 0x805 of Asker Assassin ESP to

Item 0x807 if a certain Arousal value is reached in BARE  (and switch back if the Arousel is again below the selected value)

Correct?

 

So now what do these  lines from the INI files do?

 

Quote

BARE|NONE|0x803~[Caenarvon] Pharaoh Slave.esp|NONE|0|1

 

you got none in State 1 and an Item in State 2 what does this line do?

 

and this one   Item in State 1 but None in State 2 

 

Quote

BARE|0x828~[Caenarvon] Plegian Dark Mage.esp|NONE|NONE|0|1

 

what will happen here?

 

by the way why are 2 diffrent INI files for Plegian Dark Mage provided?

 

 

And another Topic  how to setup the MCM to get this Mod work.

My Character has 100 Arousel,  your INI File is in Skyrim/Data/VSU 
I wear the clothes but nothing happens....

 

So I took a look into the MCM and
I use AND and the Simple Modesty Rules 
in the Setup all values have 

Shy -5

Comfortable -15

Bold - 30

Shameless - 45
And I can Enter only Negative Values so how does this work?
What do I have to enter to make my character switch items?

Or maybe the whole thing isn't setup correct... how can I see if there are any issues?

Hey @Arkbar., love the mod. One question - I am struggling big time making any working VSU file for BARE. Tried using the script to copy form ids from sseedit, copying form ids from modex, and from using the console. None of them seem to work as expected. Is there something I am missing when grabbing these IDs?

 

Also do you have a discord or somewhere for discussion? I would love to make some configs for this mod and upload them (but I need them to work first)

[Arkbar.]

What you are saying is that 
1- BARE works for you
2- You want to make your own VSU files 
3- Your VSU files do not work for you. 

 

--

If this is accurate, what I'd do is just copy any working files, and change the editor_id according to what the items you want have, I use https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/103494 to copy recors in SSEDIT, which make the setting of VSU files a bit easier

@Arkbar. I am using Hentairim P+ which does armor swaps in scenes regardless of arousal status. Inside of SL scenes BARE is swapping back to the non lewd versions after HP+ does its thing if arousal isn't high enough. I'd like to have BARE handle everything outside of SL and then let the HP+ armor swap handle just the SL scenes. I am a coding novice, how would one go about configuring BARE that way?

I've been having the same problem with VSU for Ostim

OK, Since I don't use OStim, I cannot completely test this.

Try the patch here, if this works for you I'll add it to the mod it should replace the same PEX in the mod

Sadly isn't working. When i play an animation that advances to stage 2 with vsu for ostim but have 0 arousal, 1 second later my body entirely dissapears. Both mods work independently if i disable the other. I appreciate the effort tho

[Arkbar.]

Did you reload the scripts or try on a new save ? 

Please make sure to validate against a new save.

Reset Scripts, performs BARE init function, For most versions it should be enough to ensure consistency, but sometimes a new save is needed so the scripts work as intended.

 

I made a slightly different patch, but with more debug messages, If you can try it (replace the corresponding script) and send the the log trace so I can check why is/isn't working

Thanks, I think I figured it out, I uploaded a new version.  Should fix with just updating the scripts

If still doesn't work even in a new game please send me the log, please make sure to set log-level to 3.

Works like a charm, huge thanks! BARE does nothing during Ostim. I do however have a strange new problem outside Ostim scenes. My character goes to stage 2 when it should, and then shortly after unequips the armor. I did not have this problem before. My character is shy and stage 2 has AND_NearlyNaked keyword if any of that is relevant. Heres my log from a new save. Delphine and some others also decides to be naked independent of arousal...

Papyrus.0.log

[Arkbar.]

Sorry, The log does not have any BARE logs, I'm guessing you did not setup the log to level3 (by default is lvl0 which basically means no log at all), however I can guess a possible issue based on your previous logs.

 

You have to make sure that you have dynamic modesty properly setup when using AND mode, if not, then BARE code confuses itself (even if AND is not installed). It is a known issue, which I've not cared enough to solve, because is mostly an improper configuration. 

I myself have been bitten by the same issue (usually when testing) because AND by default has dynamic modesty disabled.

Crap i indeed forgot the log level. The problem persists when AND mode is off and AND dynamic modesty disabled... heres a proper log

In the log you never seem to have arousal below 96, which by default will always sent you to state 2

Yes i want stage 2 but instead the armor is unequiped. Sorry if im just being dense.

[Arkbar.]

OK, got it. 
I misunderstood your question. I thought you were complaining that it was changing to state 2 even if it should not. 

 

This is a much tougher issue.
The armor unequip/equip is handled by VSU, since VSU is unequipping your items, it means it recognizes them for BARE.

it seems to be failing to equip the items. Can you confirm:

 

1- does rebuilding VSU database change anything ? 
2- The old item is removed from the inventory (stage1)
3- The new item, even if not equipped is added to the inventory (or is the item destroyed ?)
4- Can you manually equip the "stage2" item
5- Does the same issue happens when going from stage2 to stage1 ?
5.1- Same as questions 2/3 when going from stage2 to stage1

6- Do you have the same issue during ostim scenes ?
7- Does this happen for every item, or only some items ?

OK dont be mad, used the same config for Ostim and BARE (separate but copy pasted rules) but in Ostim its apparently ok to repeat entries in the config while BARE doesnt like that. So thats fixed now. I still have the problem with Delphine and Karrie getting naked tho. It only happens when dynamic modesty is on.

[combine_47]

Can you tell me, please, where can I find the bodyslide preset that we can see in your screenshots?

Seems, like you have solved the critical issues, if the problem remains only for some NPCs, probably it means that there are still some minor configuration issues you need to solve for those specific outfits.

I cannot 100% tell which one it is as during testing I swap presets often, that being said, I can tell you that it's most likely https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/78210 or one of the other presets from https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/scarlettdays21. 

I do have more presets installed, but I tend to gravitate to those more often than not, and sexy beauty is one of my favorites

If that fails, you can check 
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/127626

I'm almost 100% sure I have no preset beyond those supported by that mod

Thank you for your reply. I'll try looking for it.

What is the relationship between this mod and Ashamed Undress?

[Arkbar.]

They are independent, but they compliment each other as systems. 

Bare is basically an arousal-based outfit manager (for supported armors). 
Ashamed undress is a buff/debuff system that cares about your outfit and your dynamic modesty. If you match your outfit with your dynamic modesty you get big buffs, but if you are mismatched, you get big debuffs. 

 

Ashamed Undress partially encourages you to micromanage your outfits to maximize your outfits, but BARE goes slightly counter to that, which makes the concept of buffs and debuffs more dynamic without the player needing to constantly swap outfits. So with BARE+AU you use supported outfits, and let arousal control your buffs/debuffs

The idea is that with both BARE and AU you have to be aware of the outfits you pick, now not only the stats and how cool it looks, but also how revealing and how comfortable is the player with the outfit are a consideration. Nudity addiction helps a bit, because with it, the PC will remove outfits that are too covering (which means mismatched) for the player

I like the sound of this mod, but I don't want to put it into my game just yet. I hope you don't mind me sharing what I'd love to see, even if it's not feasible.

 

My ideal version of this mod would not force you to equip or unequip. Sometimes you only have a certain outfit, or your character should recognize that society would frown on them being naked. They might love being naked, but they should be able to decide that they'll play according to societies rules.

 

-Negative effects apply if wearing clothes that don't match the current preferences, and bonuses if they do match

-Wearing clothes that are different to their preference make them more comfortable over time. There's a set period in which their preferences do not change, after which there's a tiny nudging to whichever end of the spectrum the clothes represent. This is them getting used to being more or less modest

-Character might decide to modify the clothes you equip (if such a thing is possible in FO4), or switch to clothes that suit them better. After re-equipping the clothes you want a time or two they'll give up and accept what you've selected.

 

Sorry if these were already suggested, though they're probably not going to fit within the mod as it is. I dislike being denied the use of cerrtain clothes, partly because I tried High Heel Training and got stuck being unable to wear 90% of clothes because they didn't have high enough heels.
