Can't get CBBE to work with bodyslide to save my life

[Jackal]

I've installed CBBE and bodyslide using the nexus mod manager, everything is in the right spot as far as I can tell, bodyslide works, I can edit all the outfits/bodies, see the preview etc. everything looks good. After batch building the vanilla outfits, with no errors, I go in game and absolutely nothing has changed.

I've run bodyslide and NMM with admin as well and I can't find any helpful info after like 2 hours of browsing the internet.

Can anyone help?

Since you had Unique Player installed, all bets are off. UP is a very much DIY mod and personally, I've always felt it's more trouble that it's worth. I couldn't begin to tell you what is wrong with your game at this point. UP requires that you put the character assets in a special location. Thats what I said in my tutorial that it will NOT work for any of the Unique Player mods.

My suggestion is to UNINSTALL all your mods, uninstall Fallout 4 completely by deleting the Fallout 4 game folder, delete all the ini files in Documents/my Games/Fallout4 and start from scratch with a clean vanilla install.

Install CBBE and ONLY CBBE and use my previous post as a guide.

Fully removed the addon earlier, but I'll do a reinstall just to be sure.

Done, still no change in game. Triple checked all the paths. Seems as if it just isn't meant to be. Thanks for your help though

At this point I would actually recommend trying another mod manager. This is something that could potentially go as one of NMM bugs.

This would be a rare bug, because usually issues come from installing archives, but in this case something is clearly off with how files are handled.

I tried doing it manually as well, no change, so it isn't a manager issue.

That is pretty amazing. Can you locate where BodySlide is currently posting files in your Data folder?

Yeah, they're all going to the right place, the game just won't recognise anything. I've given up anyway

Please read everything, especially what I put at the end.

===================================================================

CBBE is nothing more than a REPLACER. It creates what's called "loose files" and inserts them into your game's DATA folder using the same EXACT path the vanilla files use in the game's BA2 archives. This is how replacers work.

For example, if you used a BA2 extractor, you would see that the VANILLA female body mesh is located at :

Data/meshes/actors/character/characterassets

and is called FemaleBody.nif. CBBE installs a replacement body at the same exact location but as "loose files". In the game, loose files always "win", which means they OVERRIDE whatever is in the BA2 archive provided they use the same path.

CBBE also installs the hands, the first person meshes and compatible textures using the same technique described above.

BodySlide is nothing more than a mesh BUILDER that will again create loose files that override the ones in the game's BA2 archives.

================================================================

There's no PLUGIN that has to be activated since all we're dealing with here are loose files. It's for this reason that you have me scratching my head here. Something is not right with your game and / or mod installation so if you want to give it one more shot, try reinstalling CBBE with the following options:

Choose CBBE Curvy when it asks you what body and do not choose the "Nevernude" option.

When you create your custom body in BodySlide, make sure "CBBE Curvy" is selected in the PRESET Drop down and "CBBE Body" is selected in the OUTFIT/BODY drop down.

Once you're done messing with the sliders, do a "Save as" then select your custom preset in the "Preset" drop down. Make sure CBBE Body is still selected in the "Outfit/Body" drop down, check off "Build Morphs" and then click "Build". Don't batch build anything yet.

Now check in-game to see if your new body is there. Hopefully it will be. If it is, you can now exit the game and batch build your outfits.

Im having an issue as well where when I open the presets menu in game nothing shows up

I was refering to Vortex, last i tried it, which was awhile ago now, it was already being used as Nexus secondary platform for ads, and those situations only ever get worse, not better.

Hard pass far as im concerned, even moreso when NMM fails at nothing i ask of it, maybe im just not enough a power user to notice its shortcomings, but as long as it handles the plethora of mods (217 on current FO4 play) without posing any trouble, it remains MM of choice.

MO2 seems terrific, but by comparison, it feels like a college degree is required to operate.

There's no ads on Vortex. Sure it has news from Nexus page and one about getting premium membership, but nothing third party.
Using latest version.
