Did you even bother to READ the author's mod page? You know, Reading Comprehension?

He tells you in the very FIRST sentence.

The very FIRST requirement when you mod your game is:

READ THE AUTHOR'S MOD PAGE.

Is that the sentence that says "Adds a new craftable and upgradable outfit with chest, legs and arms armour, with a few accessories for Males and females." because I still dont know what to do. I didnt say I know exactly what im doing

Edit
If you meant "You can craft the Toxic Raider armour with the armorsmith workbench in various categories and upgrade with the vanilla armor workbench." nothing is in the workbench but the things in my inventory

Did you build the armoursmith workbench? If not you would need to do that, it should be in the crafting section like all the other workbenches you can build.

Build that then use it, and it should show up though you may need to find which category it is in, though it may well be in its own.

Direct quote:

"You can craft the Toxic Raider armour with the armorsmith workbench in various categories and upgrade with the vanilla armor workbench."

In other words, you CRAFT it at the ARMORSMITH workbench.

There is also an optional patch (also stated on the mod page) that will remove the AE/AWKCR requirements and make the armor craftable at a Chemistry station.

Does that mean I cant use one I didnt make? Like for example the one in diamond city?

Heather, in order to help you properly, I'm going to need some more info:

1. Have you edited your ini file as per http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation

2. Have you installed either CBBE or Jane Bod?

3. Have you installed AKWCR and Armorsmith Extended?

I think ive done all 3 yeah

Build the armor to your CBBE body preset using BodySlide. If you're using Jane Bod you're on your own with that since I don't use it.

Enter WS mode and build an Armorsmith Workbench.

Exit WS mode and use the Armorsmith Workbench to craft your Toxic Raider armor

Upgrade and enhance you new Toxic Raider armor at any vanilla Armor Workbench.

That's it.

Do I really have to do anything except have all the mods? Idk what bodyslide is but I got it because it was apparently needed

[SuperSledgeNY]

If you've installed a body replacer, the answer is YES. You need to either create a custom body preset OR you can use one of the pre built ones. In either case, you still have to build the Toxic Raider armor to your preset using BodySlide.

There's literally thousands of videos and tutorials that will walk you through the entire process starting with:

Installation
Creating a Preset
Building your armor to your preset
Tweaking your armor so it fits your preset better, meaning eliminating "clipping"

The CBBE and BodySlide mod pages are a good place to start.

I really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hate video tutorials... If you have one could you send a step by step link? I find them easier where with video tutorials I dont learn like anything from it

[SuperSledgeNY]

I'm sorry to say I don't have any links to send you. You should either use the starting point I gave you or consider playing vanilla. You can still install The vanilla version of Toxic Raider and not have to learn about CBBE and BodySlide. It's up to you - good luck.

Agree completely with you there, video tutorials are a pain, constantly going back and forward in them to see what is being done for each step.

As for bodyslide give this a try.

Run bodyslide, in the window that pops up, click on the outfit/body box, it should the open up a drop down list of everything you can bodyslide, if you have never used this before it could well default to the cbbe or cbbe physics, if you use cbbe then scroll down the list till you find in the case of cbbe

CBBE Body
CBBE Body Physics

Select one of them, you should then click on the preset box, if you have a specific preset you downloaded from somewhere this is where you will choose that preset, if not for now you can choose one of the base cbbe presets, they should all start with CBBE, you will note there are two for each type so for example there will be

CBBE Petite
CBBE Pettie (Outfit)

For the body itself you would choose cbbe petite for example, but to create the clothing ie toxic raider you would choose cbbe petite (outfit)

Optional tick the build morphs button down near the bottom left of the screen, then hold down the CTRL key and while still holding it down, click the batch build button, that will pull up a huge llist of everything you can build, right click on the list and select non, the scroll down the list till you find the toxic raider stuff, tick each item for the outfit.

When done, click the build button, that will open a window asking where you want to save the files to, this can be anywhere you want, just pick somewhere that does not already have a meshes directory there, and click the select folder button, now sit back and wait, sooner or later bodyslide will state is has finished, now you can do one of two things, you can copy the meshes folder into your data folder, in which case it may or may not ask if you want to overwrite files already there, if so just say yes to all. The other option is to zip the meshes up and use which ever mod manager you use to install that zip file as a mod.

That should get things going, if you need to you could also select all the other armours you have bodyslide files for at the same time and build them, do take care though when selecting items to not include any other body in the build.

Ahh, i think in that case you should take a look at some of the guides for installing bodyslide for which ever mod manager you are using,

The install guide on the main page for bodyslide should be good enough and that is just text though no pictures.

Though it may also be worth while depending on what you graphics card is taking a look at which version of open gl you have installed as well.
