For CBBE. Can be used for other body mods. Just use common sense to figure it out.
1. Install BodySlide, and CBBE from the CBBE mod page. If you wish to use the in-game sliders, you will also need LooksMenu installed and the relevant files from the CBBE archive - these should be an option in the installer. If installing manually, then you need the contents of the BodySlide folders and relevant 'TRI/F4EE' folders installed. 2. Go to Fallout 4/Data/Tools/BodySlide. Doubleclick on BodySlide.exe/BodySlide x64.exe to open the utility. Vortex users have your own way of opening BodySlide (see: Mod description, but the path is still the same). 3. At the top, in 'Outfit/Body' select CBBE Body, CBBE Body Physics or CBBE NeverNude. These are the bodies. Everything else is an outfit. 4. In 'Preset', select a preset, or leave it as it is and simply start moving the sliders around. You can type numbers into the boxes if you want to use negatives (put in a - before the number) or go over 100%. If you only wish to use the in-game sliders, you can skip to Step 10. a. (Optional) If you have a lot of outfit mods installed, and/or only want to see/build meshes for certain ones, you can use the GroupFilter and OutfitFilter options at the top to narrow down the selection. Just click on the magnifying glass, 'Choose Groups', and select what you want. Again, only what is selected will have the option to build meshes for them. Leaving these Filters alone will mean you have the option to build everything. 5. Click on 'Preview' at the bottom to open the preview window. The mesh shape will change as you move/edit sliders. The mesh shown is what you get when the character's weight is set to the centre of the weight triangle. You can right-click-and-drag the model to rotate it, and left-click-and-drag to move it around the window without rotating. Scroll-wheel to zoom also works. 6. Once you're happy, click on 'Save As'. 'Save' will overwrite the current preset selected. 7. Type in a name for your preset, and check the boxes for what 'groups' you want your preset to appear in. 8. Click Save. BodySlide will open a window to the BodySlide/SliderPresets directory. Click Save again. You preset will now appear in the 'Preset' drop-down menu. 9. (Optional) If your aim is realism, make a second preset just for outfits/NeverNude, removing any gravity from your 'nude' preset, and applying cleavage/pushup etc. You can look at the 'Slim (Outfit)' and 'Curvy (Outfit)' for ideas to make it look realistic for both small and large breast sizes, respectively. 10. With CBBE Body, CBBE Body Physics or CBBE NeverNude and your preset selected, click on Build. This will automatically install the body meshes. If you intend on using the in-game sliders, ensure you check the 'Build Morphs' checkbox before completing this or any following steps. 11. With your (outfit) preset selected, click on BatchBuild. Uncheck anything you don't want built (e.g. if you did step 10 above, you don't want/need CBBE Body/CBBE NeverNude/CBBE Body Physics selected). You can right-click the box and select/de-select everything to help with this. 12. Click Build. BodySlide will automatically install the outfit meshes into the correct directories. Now the outfits will be the shape of your preset, and will morph according to the in-game weight/body morph triangle. If applicable, then you will also be able to use the in-game morphs.
I am Chilean and I am using translator, I hope it is understood, I installed this mod but when configuring or viewing the aspects it appears empty and does not let me configure, what should I do?
Ok so I followed all the instructions and none of Vtaws wardrobes change. They change the body but pretty well themselves and then causes clipping if certain articles of clothing are put on. I used 3 pieces from wardrobe 8 and without the combat boots on the whole outfit clips really bad. Slap the combat boots on and not a clip to be seen. I'm just getting frustrated beyond belief to the point I'm about to delete it all.
I went and did a double check step by step and make sure the game data path in Bodyslide settings is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data\". For some reason mine wasn't. Everything is all good now for the most part. The one thing I'm having issues with now is any of the boots in any of the VTAW wardrobes change the body back to CBBE. I currently am trying to figure out why batch building doesn't affect the boots. I have no issues with the clothing anymore.
Hello, I'm from Brazil and I don't speak English very well so I'm using the translator, I'm having a problem and I don't know how to solve it, I installed BodySlide following all the steps correctly, but I can't find the Fallout 4 meshes, the The application points to the game data folder correctly but the meshes that BodySlide shows in the Outfit/Body field are Skyrim meshes and I don't have Skyrim installed on my PC, can anyone help me solve this problem?
If you have installed BodySlide correctly, as you said, then...did you install the wrong version of CBBE somehow? Assuming you are using that, anyway. BodySlide doesn't come with any bodies or outfits. You have to download them separately. If you did install the SE version of CBBE, uninstall it, and install the FO4 version of CBBE (or other BodySlide-compatible FO4 body mod of your choice).
For some reason within Bodyslide my body will not change, no matter what preset I select the preview body does not change. If I select an armor however the preset applies no problem. I've never had a problem with this before so have no idea whats going on
Have you tried reinstalling your body mod and BodySlide? You may have accidentally deleted the files somehow, or perhaps something wasn't set up correctly.
Did a full reinstall, tested early and the body was changing so I reinstalled all my mods and now its no longer changing again, so some mod I have is somehow not letting my body be changed. The actual Femalebody file gets changed but to the base body not the preset I chose and clo0thes still change to the preset so I've got some invesitgating to do
1. Uninstall the body mod to go back to vanilla. Remember to delete the relevant overwrite files if using MO2. 2. BatchBuild with the preset you started off with. If you use CBBE and started with the Curvy body, then pick the Curvy preset, etc.
I have been having trouble with bodyslide. I downloaded it to MO2 and everything was working just fine. all the presets were there and bodyslide was working. When trying to get it to work in game I was having more trouble but I realized I didn't add the archive lines to the correct folder. After doing that the presets started to work in game. But all the base game clothes were deleted or not shown in the clothes and armour tab. So the body mesh works but I can't batch build to the majority of the clothes and armor in game. The only clothes in the preset tab are ones I modded it. I think I have a location issue but please help me if you can I have been looking for days for a reddit thread or YouTube video for a fix and none have it. Thanks
Start from the beginning. Uninstall, and reinstall according to the instructions. Most body mods come with the outfits, so unless you've been manually deleting the files BodySlide looks for, they should be there and be available.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled body slide for MO2 three times with zero change. is their anyway that I can manually linked the base games clothes files to bodyslide?
also maybe I have a folder location problem. But my MO2 mods folder is in a place that I can't get to when I open the browse files option on either MO2 or bodyslide. Its in my profile name folder which for whatever reason is blank when I open normal browse folders if that makes sense. To access the MO2 folders I have to right click on a mod in MO2 and select "find in explorer" and then it brings me to a location in my files that I can access regularly. Let me know if thats my problem
The 'base clothes' come with your body mod. If you have set up everything correctly (edited the .ini, made sure the game file path points to your data folder, etc.), then BodySlide will find the file it needs in its own folders, just as it does with the body itself. Either your body mod didn't come with BodySlide-compatible vanilla/dlc outfits (unlikely, because that would make the body mod pointless), or you've somehow deleted them and need to reinstall your body mod, not just BodySlide.
I don't use MO2, so can't help if it's the mod manager itself causing issues. You would have to take it up with the devs.
MO2 user here, is there a way to get the outfits & bodies to output to overwrite folder AND see the textures at the same time? If not, what the hell is the point of virtual installs that MO2 does if I have to output to game folder like I would have for nexus mod manager?
edit: nvm, advanced tab for output was not mentioned in guide I found for dis working in MO2 >.>
