Mod Combining Support - Extra Armor slots being used

[cailic]

I'm guessing where to post this.

 

What I have been doing is trying to combine all the armor mods and bodyslide data I have into just a few mods.  So far it seems largely successful, however, armor that is shown to take slot 32, in the esp and via SKUI Show Armor Slots mod suddenly takes up slot 32 and slot 49 after equipping it. 

 

I at times get an error in game from Devious Devises telling something along the lines that there are two devices taking up the same slot.  Although my  character doesn't have any equipped.  That started before I began combing mods.  I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. 

 

Can anyone give me any help or direct me to a thread covering this?  Since I'm sure it has been discussed before.... somewhere. 

 

Thanks.

Alright, the only mod I know of that f/w slots is devious devises, undies underneath.  I disabled all that so now the vest takes up slots 32 and 52.  How can I stop this? 

 

Thanks for any help.

I know nothing about the slot system, but could it be set by the game (or a mod) to use both slots to prevent you from having two items in "equivalent" slots?

I haven't paid much attention to this until now since a lot of modders have moved on and a good bit of the mods are set.. (no more updates).   I'm sure this would have been so much simpler if Bethesda would have stuck to piece meal clothing like they had in Morrowind.  You had shoes, you had pants, you had shirts.  That is one of the big reasons I stopped trying to mod Oblivion.  You either had an outfit on or you didn't.  What pieces of clothing were equipped was central to the mod I had in mind.  It was easier for Bethesda to create outfits, even though its been well know that one of the biggest factors in RPG gaming is how your character looks.  So they decided to limit your options for their own sake. 

 

Ok, that was a tangent.  Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what determines if you character is vulnerably nude.  Any character that runs around with their junk showing should be more apt to be attacked than just a topless one. 

 

Oh, and if I'm not making any sense, I have been working in the fields since the weather got nicer.  Please be kind to a tired mind.

Well, things seemed to be working fine.  Suddenly the tops are taking up slot 32 and 52 again, so I can either wear the top or the loincloth, but not both.  I made sure I was updated to the latest versions of Devious Devices.  Still happens.  The fact that things were working better after disabling all the undies underneath seems to have been a coincidence.
