my characters hair is doing strange things

[Guest wellbredbitch]

the first time i loaded my save game after installing all the requirements for HDT and the HDT hair. my girl looked fine until i came out of showracemenu.

 

this is what i saw.

 

 

it might be because i've done something wrong or forgot something.

HDT bouncing boobs/jiggling butt + HDT hair don't work properly together with all HDT_PE versions, maybe you should install an older version of HDT_PE, a stable one.

 

And I think you have a problem with your body too... look at your waist/hips, isn't there a problem ?

Picture is too dark I can't see anything...

 

The problem is most likely inappropriate collision filters were set.

You can fix using notepad, or JFF.

 

Or download a fixed xml file if you need to. I believe Yoo uploaded one to his excellent Collision filters and You post

i'm so thick sometimes i amaze myself. my apologies to all.  i had missed out the part where i had to add the HAVOC text to the Skyrim.ini.

i started again from the beginning and double checked i had done each step of your guide for dummies correctly  Blabba.

 

i loaded my save and now Petra looks like this.

 

 sorry it's dark again!

 

no hip gaps and her hair is back to normal. 

 

i've been experimenting with Bodyslide2 as you can see.  

 

i'm going away from the blonde bimbo look to something more pleasing to my eyes.

i know this isn't the right place to ask but

 

how do i make the clothes and armor in the game fit my characters custom body? when i put on any armor i have looted she shrinks to the default vanilla shape.

 

 

oh and she looks like this now

i think i have answered my own question. i read the guide which is included in the bodyslide2 file. DOH!
