Ankle seam? It would seem so.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Well, I am using CBBE and Fair skin complexion mods. I dont know why but I am getting ankle seem or whatnot. My skeleton is xps32. I dont get why is it happening as I really took care of all the seam related problems while installing mods. By the way it only appears when she is naked, and not wearing any chest armour.

Usually a body mod will include it's own hand and feet meshes or will be designed to align with the vanilla meshes.

 

Make sure your body mod overwrites the foot mesh.

 

Occasionally equipped items will cause unintended changes to these nodes so completely strip your character, including jewellery and accessories. If this fixes it then the issue is with an armour/clothing mod.

 

On a side note, "seams" are undesirable changes in texture between two meshes, while "gaps" are what we see in your screen shots where the vertices between two meshes are clearly misaligned. When looking for solutions it usually pays to search for both seams and gaps to cover threads where these terms are used as synonyms.

When I ran Batch build on the bodyslide for the CBBE feets option, the ankle seam was fixed, but the new dark head bug or neck seam whatever you may call it appeared.

I've never seen the grey/dark face bug persist on the player after using the racemenu. I don't use BodySlide but that could be the source of the issue.

 

Could simply be that the textures for the head are mismatched.

Check out Phase Six of my guide (listed in my signature). 

It will cover proper install order of XP32 skeleton, CBBE, and skin textures. :)

I have been using the same textures for a year now, and this is the first time I got this problem. Asked in CBBE forums as well lets see if they have a fix. Will update it here if I get it. Thanks for your help though.

Btw, that's not the grey face bug. Something is overwriting one of your face textures. If you use MO check in the right pane, and see which mod is providing femalehead.dds, if it's not Fair Skin or Adorable face, that's the problem with your face being off color.

Also check femalehead_s.dds and femalehead_sk.dds

 

EDIT: If you're using NMM, uninstall Fair Skin, and re-install it. I had the same issue for awhile, and it took me a bit to figure out what it was.

Wow why did not I think of that? It might work.

 

And also been looking through your guide.

 

 
Now, to build your body!
1) Open the BodySlide Executable from the drop down above the right pane
2) Tick "Racemenu Morphs" at the bottom of the page. 
3) Select "Batch Build" on the bottom left corner.
4) Wait a moment, depending on how many outfits you have installed this could take a bit. I have upwards of 1,000 outfits installed, so it takes mine about 10 minutes.
5) When this is done, click the drop down in the top left hand corner labeled "Outfit/Body" and select "CBBE Body HDT"
6) Click build, then click OK
7) Close BodySlide. You will have files in your overwrite. Right click, create new mod. I label this "Outfit Morphs" as it's the .tri files for your morphable meshes.

 

 

4) Wait a moment, depending on how many outfits you have installed this could take a bit. I have upwards of 1,000 outfits installed, so it takes mine about 10 minutes.

 

^Can give me a bit more detail about this step? The bodyslide Batch build contains many options when you click Batch Build option. For example: CBBE body, CBBE tbbp, CBBE vanilla, CBBE Cali Undies, etc. Not all are armour mod. And my grey face started after I carelessly batchbuilded Selecting CBBE feet.

I just batch build all of it, then SINGULARLY build CBBE HDT when I'm done. If you don't, you're gonna have panties on.
