Could someone help with a scaling issue? Please.

I am trying to get a basic understanding of what is happening so I can try to fix the issue myself, or at least give it a shot.  I have already asked the questions on the mod authors support threads, but I am not getting any response or help, so I thought I would try a general help page.  In short I am using the mods Being a Cow, and in turn, it is using the mod SLIF.  The mod has 18 stages that change the PC and NPC Belly and Butt size, along with general appearance items like tats.  My problem is every time the mod Being a Cow updates to another stage, my PC's weight is changed to 0.  My PC is a Redguard with a starting weight of .69 so it is a huge drop.  I can go into Racemenu and correct it with the sliders, but as soon as it updates a stage, it gets converted back to 0.  The individual Nodes in SLIF for the butt and belly do increase in small increments, so that is working I guess, it is just the overall weight of the PC, that gets affected.  I have looked all thru the esp in TES5edit, but I don't know what I am looking for, and how to change it if I did.  I guess my general question is, when a mod causes your PC to change scale, is that done with a script, a majic effect, a spell, I have know idea. I'm frustrated with my own ignorance of how this all works.  Is there a way to stop a mod from affecting the weight of your character? I know its a vague question and I am probably mixing apples and oranges, but any basic information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you .

There are different ways, but in the end, a script will get run to do the actual scaling. SLIF, however, does not do weight. Most likely, you're looking for either a quest or a spell applying a magic effect. If you have mfg console or racemenu, you can open the console, click on your character, and see all the spells and effects being applied. Look for any that are defined in the mod you're troubleshooting.

Thank you so much! This helps a great deal.  

 

Edit: Thanks again...I found the magic effect and the script behind it. I don't have a clue what to do now though. lol.  I guess I will keep waiting for the author to reply.

Reading the description of the mod, the weight changes are intentional. Reading the scripts, there's an option to disable weight changes. You should probably have another look at the MCM menu and find that.
