XP32 Maximum Skeleton clipping

[Kaldgord]

I've finished to install the mods from the section 2.D. Fixes of the S.T.E.P. guide (minus small changes since i don't have dragonborn), during the benchmark test with the intro sequence I'm encountering this strange clipping issue with Ralof arms: https://hostr.co/file/970/rRE0FExaRiU8/2014-09-01_00001.jpg

I notice that the clipping is gone if I deactivate the XP32 skeleton mod from Mod Organizer, but i followed all the recommended steps for installation. I've also installed fores new idles right after finishing the fixes column, and followed all the installation steps for that too.

What could possibly be the problem that's generating this clipping ?

[TechAngel85]

That's probably because you haven't run FNIS yet, which is at the end of the Guide.

[Kaldgord]

I did have installed fnis and run it, following all the indications in the guide, created the patch too from the overwrite folder and placed it for last in the left panel, just after the maximum skeleton mod.

[TechAngel85]

It should be placed after the FNIS mod. Both FNIS Behavior and FNIS Output should be activated.

[Kaldgord]

So in the left panel the order should be, FNIS, then Maximum Skeleton, then FNIS output for last ?

I also had the doubt about the Patches section of S.T.E.P., are those to be applied after all the other sections have been completed in order, or is the section 2.N. Patches independent from the install order of the rest of the guide ?

XPMS

...

FNIS

FNIS Output

 

Where the ... is, you'll have the rest of the STEP mods. For example, my XPMS has priority 37. My FNIS and FINIS Output have priorities 241 and 242; they're way down at the bottom of the load order.

 

The Patches should be install as one of the last things. The Guide is meant to be followed from beginning to end without skipping around.

[Kaldgord]

Ok, just to be sure since i was at the beginning and experimenting, i've made another clean install, will try again saving the patches section for last. I was just in doubt about it, because i thought going through all the steps without installing fnis untill the very last could cause problems.

[TechAngel85]

It shouldn't because besides for benchmarking, you really won't be running and playing the game until the Guide is completely installed.

[Kaldgord]

Is it true that there is an incompatibility between realistic ragdoll force and X32 maximum skeleton between their files ?

[Neovalen]

XP32 includes the skeleton changes from RR&F.

[Kaldgord]

So if i use XP32 i don't need to install RR&F ? 

[Neovalen]

You still need to install RR&F for the esp changes. Just make sure XP is installed later.

Just updating, I noticed the same clipping issues on the benchmark test occurring with Ralof skirt with other mods, specifically it was dead body collision and ragdoll paralisis that made that strange clipping issue to occur again.
