Is there a way to remove the hands on chin animation when you equip the elastic hairband?

In the MCM on the general tab, there's a "Show Player Animations" option. You can turn that off, and it'll skip the animation.

Hello, I am in need of some assistance xD

I got the YPS mod v6.2.1 but when I try to install it with Mod Organizer I get an error about the Wizard.txt file, when the installer checks for Wyre version it gets a INT instead of STRING, so I fixed that inside the archive myself and I try to install again but I get another warning saying my skyrim version is outdated... did I miss something? Is this not for Skyrim SE?
(V6.0.0 works just fine)

using file from here:

Apparently the installer checks for version "1.9.32.0" which is LE, but the installer is SE&LE... bro what

Good day everyone,

I have installed this mod and everything works fine except the makeup, lipstick and eyeshadow. I can apply it, but I don't see the effect on the face of my character. I checked and added the 2 makeup addons I found on the slavetats page but it doesn't change anything. It is like I do not have the correct tats? I am confused, I believev I have installed everything properly with all requirements. Any idea why I cannot see the lipstick and eyeshadow on my face?

Did you follow the instructions about making sure you had enough Nioverride slots for the tattoos to work?

NIOVERRIDE LAYERS (very important and required changes to your SKSE ini files)
If you are using SlaveTats: To be on the safe side for this mod, open the file Data\SKSE\Plugins\nioverride.ini with an editor and set iNumOverlays=12 for Face, =5 for Body, =3 for Hands, =3 for Feet. On top of that, add the values needed for other mods.
Furthermore, you need to set bEnableFaceOverlays=1
More in depth explanation:

 

This mod uses more SlaveTat layers than come with the original installation. It is important that you increase the maximum number of layers manually. To do so, count the values you need together according to the following table:

• Earlobe piercings: 2*Face + 2*Face (swap)
• Nostril, Septum, Right Labret, Central Labret, Right Eyebrow, Nose Bridge piercings: each 1*Face
• Snake Bites: 1*Face + 1*Face (swap)
• Navel, Clitoris (Labia is not yet implemented): each 1*Body
• Nipples: 1*Body + 1*Body (swap)
• Fingernail polish: 1*Hands + 1*Hands (swap)
• Toenail polish: 1*Feet + 1*Feet (swap)
• Lipstick: 1*Face
• Eyeshadow: 1*Face
• Pubic hair: 1*Body + 1*Body (swap)
• Nylons: 1*Body + 1*Feet

Add up the slot numbers; swap slots only count once (even if you use more than one piercing needing a swap slot).
E.g. using Earlobe piercings plus Snake Bites plus Nostril needs: 2+1+1 normal face slots, plus the maximum of 2 swap slots, for a total of 6 face slots.
Then add the corresponding numbers in the file Data\SKSE\Plugins\nioverride.ini to the variable iNumOverlays in the four sections [Overlays/...]
Note that high values for iNumOverlays may slow down your computer! In particular use a lower number for face overlays, if you don't use that many face fashion items. Maximum number of Overlays in a section is 12 (SlaveTats won't recognize more).

Separate post to avoid muddling the two together.

 

A day or so ago I came across this:

 

Stubble mod for beards

 

I know the mod doesn't currently handle beard growth but I'm leaving the link here for the future in case it ever does grow to include that particular feature. There's been one or two mods in the past that have attempted to simulate beard growth but having some new stubble growth lengths to help close the gap between bum fluff and the shortish beards probably helps with immersion.

I've seen a few other people report this. Have you tried putting YPS really low on your load order (near the bottom)? Most people don't experience this issue and a few might have solved it but I can't remember how they did.

Ok so I thought this was weird but awesome at the same time. I have had trouble getting this mod to work and up until today when I was looking up something for sexlab hormones I ended up clicking on the link for this mod. Decided to install the lite version for the hell of it and wouldn't you know the plugin finally showed up in my mod list. Not the lite version either but the 6.2.1 version that I haven't been able to get to work. I don't get it but I'm not complaining I just felt like sharing this.

Yep, the Skyrim SE version of this mod is deeply bugged and unplayable, and the LE version fails during the salon hair change during the mod quest. The mod reliability is not in the best state right now.

Yeah seems that way, but the fact that installing the LE version jump started the SE version was unexpected. Still have issues with most of the piercing not showing up but the ear studs. Same with pubic and armpit hair showing anything even though they show the stages of growth but no actual visual effects. Still waiting to see if head hair growth will work or just tease me with only kinda working. I don't have high hopes, shame because it really is a cool concept.

Have you set your NiOverride settings accordingly? That's a likely candidate. Also UNP can cause problems as well.

Would like to see update or a community patch that can make the LE-version's salon hair change sequence more reliable. Any pros reading this?

Have you checked Monoman's mod tweaks?

Scroll down past the Wartimes tweak. YPS is the 2nd tweak in the same post.

Yeah that file was part of my problem. I was altering the nioverride.ini which matches the skse64.ini file and until the other day hadn't manage to find the correct file. Now I and seeing the overlays that were not showing up before. At this point the only issue I have is body hair growth but head hair, makeup and piercings are now all showing. All in all i'm satisfied with what I'm getting from the mod

What issue are you experiencing with body hair growth? There's a few different possibilities.

Armpit hair doesn't show, and pubic hair not changing. Trying to address pubic hair right now, figure it's got something to do with another mod adding it. The mods I have that deal with that are connected to sos and one connected to slave tats. I do have the nordic warmaiden body hair and can add those overlays in racemenu but otherwise nothing shows.

You need to get the slavetats version of Warmaiden body hair. I can't remember where it is but it does exist.

 

Fortunately there's a link in the first post in this thread. Also on the mod page too :).

 

Hope that helps.

Yeah i figured that out shortly after my last post when I re-read certain things in the mod, so gonna see if that does the job for me. I just need to figure out what mod added pubic hair that isn't related to sos cause it looks pubic hair may be working but something else is adding pubic hair overlay that doesn't show up and isn't labeled that way in my mod list. But anyway thank you for the help.

Did you tick the show 3d pubic hair option in the mcm?

 

When you first start body hair growth make sure to go into the SOS mcm and remove any pubic hair because it will give you a random one by default. Then it can begin to grow.

As far as I can tell that option isn't showing up, basically the mcm gives has general options, pc/npc options and then a list of different styles with options for different races but nothing about 3d options though as far as I can tell the choices show up on my body. I did just try a new game to see what i can do and I did remove the pubic hair that it started with and that hair did disappear. Only problem is that there are 2 pubic hairs showing up, what sos adds and what something else adds. At this point Im decided if I should just uninstall all mods and go through the process of figuring out what is adding the 2nd set of hair or just saying the hell with it and just leaving it as is since after months of screwing around I'm in my most stable playthrough and am so far into it that I don't really feel like starting over at this point. But again thanks for taking the time to help. Oh the joys of modding games

ok 1 more thing to add, opened bodyslide and checking through different outfit/bodies list and go to preview and they all have the same hair that never goes away in game. So not the hair sos is giving me but something else.

That sounds like it's on your body/skin if it's showing up in bodyslide. Try reinstalling any body replacers and/or any skin textures and see if that has the option to remove hair.
