Bodyslide/Slooty Vault Suit mode issues?

[Chugster]

I edited the body shape for the Slooty Vault suit, then I added the re-colour/male suit addon and suddenly the bodyslide changes aren't taking effect (ive tried re doing the bodyslides), all the armor parts are too big. (this also happended when I tried to use x-92 courser armor recolors)

What have I done wrong and how do I fix it?

edit: I just deactivated the recolor/male suit mod and the suit is back to normal so its definately that mod, so now i need to know how to get it working with the bodyslide settings

Are you remembering to copy the bone weights from your refrence shape?

[Chugster]

I have no idea what that means, ive just been clicking items in the drop down menu, moving sliders and building.

The only thing I can think of is because these recolour mods use new .esp files, Body slide isnt working on these new variations. The new slooty mod lets you recolour your suit at the workbench and the x-92 mod lets you craft different coloured versions.

Do these newer mods need their own bodyslide presets?

I don't think so, as they should only replace textures and not f with meshes.
I use the mentioned mods too, and haven't had problems with recolors.

I suggest checking out these bodyslide/outfit studio tutorials by Nightasy:

there're 4 or so vids, and they cover a converstion from start to finish. I found them incredibly helpful.

ok i dont have an issue using bodyslide, here is an image of my character with the slooty vault suit and suitdreams belt with custom bodyslide settings:

then I used this mod (plus the male suit mod that it requires):

and you can see that now the belt sticks out like the body is too small, i have not changed the bodyslide settings:

This is really annoying as I love the slooty vault and x-92 outfits but really want different colours for different playthroughs

ok, I tried a direct replacement recolour, and it works, I just need to remember to change it back when I change characters.

So its definitely something in this recolor/male suit mod, so if anyone can work out what its doing that would be great, I really want to have different versions of these suits.

Ive also noticed that the Nanosuit mod doesn't seem to want to accept bodyslide changes, I must have a mod that's interfereing with these bodyslides...don't know which one though

[Chugster]

ok I tried something else, I reinstalled the original slooty mod and that worked fine, I installed the recolour/male suit mod and that retained the 'interesting' proportions the original slooty mod had.

But once again, as soon as I reinstalled the bodyslide settings and tried to apply them I got Miss Skinny Britches, once I deactivated the recolor/male suit mod the bodyslide settings were applied.

Can someone look closely at the esp and materials files, there must be something there that clashed with the bodyslide settings

[Chugster]

So its definnately the male suit mod that's affecting the female bodyslide setings, anyone have any idea why the male suit mod affects the female suit bodyslide settings?
