Body invisible when using devious devices

[Meithiri]

I have looked around in several forums about different things and tried over and over to get it to work including removing every mod i have and reinstalling some.

 

I am starting with the cursed loot live another life as a princess to be sold as a sex slave and everything works fine untill i wake up in the cage at the very start and all the stuff get equipped, but the only things i can see is the heels, arm restraints (which are empty inside) and the head with the ballgag.

You definitely did not look for it well enough: BodySlide now is a hard requirement and mentioned like this in the DDa description as you now have to create the meshes of the devices with it.

 

Additionally this was asked already more than several times in different support threads, eg for DDi, DDa and DCUR ...

I have bodyslide,   i have tried batch build with output set #1 to be cbbe body, cbbe vanilla and cbbe body hdt and none of them is doing any difference.

 

The only things i could find about was invisible devices and some body parts and only found 1 thing when entire body was gone but didn't see a solution.

"...cbbe body, cbbe vanilla and cbbe body hdt..."  So what body are you using?  You should be using only one and know which it is.   Have you tried starting a game without mods enabled to see if you have at least a body or the body you created in BodySlide?  Sounds like you have no body / hand / foot meshes for some reason.  You DO have the CBBE body installed, right?  And you HAVE created body meshes in BodySlide (although a default body should be there)?

I do have cbbe installed and hdt physics extensions which i assume is the reason behind the cbbe hdt option,  starting my game without mods gives no difference to what the body looks like in vanilla so i guess its not working at all then.

Have you tried building a new CBBE HDT body in BodySlide?  Give it huge boobs (or something) so you know it's the body you built.

 

If that doesn't work, check your "Game Path" in BodySlide under "Settings".  It should say something like "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Data\"...or wherever your game is located. Also...   Or perhaps something didn't install properly. In BodySlide, check the "Build Morphs" box, then select CBBE HDT Group, your body preset, hold down CTRL and click "Build". That'll place 3 files in "Data\CalienteTools\BodySlide" directory - femalebody_0.nif, femalebody_1.nif and femalebody.tri . Copy / paste these files into "Data\meshes\actors\character\character assets".  Now try your game.

Copying the files over worked perfectly and things seem to be working fine now.  T

ok, here's my problem and maybe lots of other people out there also, when-ever I run body slide! it changes the body shape I have worked on for so long and liked so much completely! but yes it does the job of making the DD wear visible but the body shape is not to my liking at all!

That's an easy fix: once you have the body the way you want, make sure to save it as a new preset^*. And then choose that preset when building the items.

Thank you LazyBoot for your reply, I forgot to mention the body presets are ingame, now what would you recommend in that case

Make sure to use the "build morphs" checkbox in bodyslide when building them.

Hello im having an issue that hasnt seemed to happen yet i think but it is very similar, so my game seems to not show the body when uaing certain devices either but the one he listed above,  i have tried everything from batchbuilding to reinstalling and even the steps you one guy gave to help out and it seemed to work for him,  but not me, for me i tried going to data/meshes/actors/character/character assets and to my suprise it wasnt there(never existed) ao i tried crearing it myself and following the steps and to no avail still no luck im not really new to modding skyrim i know my way around it and ive solved many issues myself but this one takes the cake, i know i asked for help but dont be rude when replying

downlaod this https://www.voidtools.com/ and search for where your goddam batched files went. Look for the character assets folders too. Read the guide on the respective mod forums. Also if you are using MO make sure the files in overwrite are the ones you want.

If you're using MO, you may need to hold ctrl while pressing the batch-build key so you can put the files in the correct place.

I have the same issue that Meithiri, i tried a lot of thing but nothing changes.. Now I notice that in Bodyslide on "Outfit/Body" don't appear the devices to build. Sorry for the bad english.

You have to select them in 'Choose Groups' first.

They are not there. 

[Grey Cloud]

If they are not there then you have not installed the necessary DD mods correctly.

You get that box from the second dropdown on the top row - the one that has 'alistic Bodybuilding' in the image.

Once you have okayed that the items will appear in the Outfit/Body dropdown. You then Batch Build them (and tick the Build Morphs box first)

I understand, but I don't know what is bad installed or missing. I've installed everything on the requirements and on the MO all seems good. 

[Grey Cloud]

Sorry, I can't help you with MO as I do not use it.

Perhaps if you ask on the DD support threads?
