Neck Gaps & wrist and feet gaps

[Paddy Wagon]

I just started to reinstall Skyrim LE and made a custom preset body with bodyslide and I am getting neck feet and hand gaps on all female characters. Its strange because Ive used bs before with no issues. Anyone have any ideas on how to trouble shoot this issue. Right now all I have is cbbe installed along with everything for physics: hdt pe xpmse fnis nio and a couple of bug fix mods so its nothing installed that's causing the issue. I must be doing something wrong. Oh and I have Caliente's Texture Blender installed latest version same with bodyslide latest version.

Talking to myself here, but just in case anyone has the same question in the future. Bodyslide version 5.4.1:

Action: Select body type cbbe hdt, select desired preset, press build button on lower center of tool. Select outfit/body choose feet and leave preset as is and press build.
Result: neck gaps, ankle gaps and wrist gaps when verifying body in game.

Solution: instead of using the build button for the preset use the batch build button on the lower left of tool UI Deselect all, then select body type: cbbe hdt along with cbbe feet, check both boxes and then batch build.

Result No neck gap no ankle gap or wrist gap.

Seems kinda wonky to me the way it works, but I suppose it works as intended?

Come here 1y later to say that with this information you helped me a lot with a port that I did. Thank you so much!

That's great, good to know all the time I spent trying to figure out that issue helped at least one person other than myself! BTW Recently was playing Skyrim and had an issue with hand seams/gaps and just thought I'd add my workaround here since It may help someone else out.

Problem:wrist gap with custom armor
https://flic.kr/p/2o6eDMj
Cause: a hand mesh is included in the gloves that come with the armor therefore causing a mismatch in hand meshes i.e. the mod authors hand mesh is dissimilar to the hand mesh for the custom body I am using.
Solution: Using Outfit Studio delete the hand mesh from each armor nif _0 and _1 and replace the hand mesh with a mesh from this location.

"data/meshes/actors/character/characterassets"femalehands_0.nif and femalehands_1.nif

I know that instructions arent great (Outfit Studio needs its own tutorial in and of itself) but thats the general idea and an explanation of a possible solution to a wrist gap issue. Hope it helps someone
