How to "inject" a bodyslide preset into your looksmenu preset

[Ulfberto 1,841]

Its really boring having to enter slider values in your looksmenu advanced sliders manually right? Here you'll learn how to make the process real quick by "injecting" your bodylside preset into your looksmenu.

Requirements:
 

• The main piece that made this guide possible, Bodyconvert tool: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/41781?tab=files
   
•  Your bodyslide preset
   
•  Your Looksmenu preset
   
• Notepad++ : https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/

---

Open your bodyslide preset with notepad++. Bodyslide presets are located in Data/Tools/Bodyslide/SliderPresets/YourSliderPresetNameHere.xml

If you are a MO2 user, you can locate your bodyslide preset by going to the DATA tab on your MO interface and browse to Tools/Bodyslide/SliderPresets/YourSliderPresetNameHere.xml. You'll notice theres a second column on the right of your preset, saying where its comming from. For eg: the aaaaaabuttonFinal.XML is coming from Bodytalk Bodygen Presets so you need to open that mod folder in your MO2 (open in explorer) and browse through the said folder

The preset i'm opening is named as Big Bear.xml

 

Once opened, youll get something like this. Just press ctrl+A to select everything and press ctrl+C to copy, we are going to paste it to the bodyconvert tool

Now open up bodyconvert tool.
With that opened: paste the code we copied from the bodyslide preset xml in the Bodyslide (XML) column then hit the button below (1. To Bodygen) > then press the button second button below (To Bodymorph) > And last copy the new generated code in the last column - BodyMorph (JSon), we gonna paste that to the looksmenu slider

Now open your looksmenu preset with notepad++ by going to the following directory > Data\F4SE\plugins\F4EE\Presets\YourLooksmenuPresetNameHere.Json (same steps as the bodyslide preset if you are MO2 user).
Now before blindly pasting the code, you need to pay attention to the syntax or your preset wont load ingame
When you first open your preset, itll most likely look like this:

So after pasting the code it must look something like this

Once you are done, you can save the file by exiting (notepad++ will ask if you want to save the changes) then you just have to load your preset in your character or in a npc $using looksmenu ^^

Hey, I tried everything you wrote here. Saved the preset as json file, put it in the right folder, started the game. I saw the preset, but once I clicked it, I got a clean CTD -.-

You might've missed something in the syntax. Drop your json file here so i'll try to see if i can spot anything.

Hi or a little problem when you say Now open your looksmenu preset with notepad ++ when I go to the Data \ F4SE \ plugins \ F4EE \ Presets folder I can't find YourLooksmenuPresetNameHere.Json. I'm sorry for my english

[Ulfberto 1,841]

hey @donzauker1234567890, the Yourlooksmenupresetnamehere.json  is just an example.

In my case its Ulfberto.json . It depends on with which name you saved your preset ingame

Nel mio caso è  Ulfberto.json . Dipende da quale nome hai salvato nel gioco preimpostato

I'm in the game right now I'm using one of your presets which are very nice.
So I have to create the.json file with notepad ++ right?
But if I want to modify a preset already done but in xml
do I have to follow the same procedure or does it change? Thanks again

[Ulfberto 1,841]

The json file is generated when you save a preset with looksmenu (ingame).

I never noticed that ... so once a preset with looksmenu is generated in game.
Just follow your guide to change the performance or done in game right? Thanks again

[Ulfberto 1,841]

yes

Hey so I keep getting this error that says "an item with the same key has already been added" every time I hit the second button and I am unable to get the BodyMorph(Json), any idea as to why?
