hello please allow me to get some of your time to tell you about this mind boggling glitch im experiencing , i have been looking for a solution everywhere and i have found no solution whatsoever
i have clean wiped and reinstalled every mod one by one and tested the game before and after every clean wipe and reinstall of each mod. i have clean wiped and reinstalled all mods all together, i have clean wiped and reinstalled the whole game
the issue : my character appears naked in first person view and third person view, and in the mirror , though doesn't appear naked in the menu or in photomode
this issue only happens whenever i equip anything from the wardrobe, with or without equipmentEX , with or without mods, a mod item or vanilla , with or without regular clothes/armor slots . so say i *ONLY* equip regular clothes outside wardrobe, even if they are mod items, they appear in all perspectives and all modes. but with or without them, when i equip anything from the wardrobe , my character appears naked in first person view and third person view, and in the mirror.
please please please point me in the right direction i have been looking everywhere, trying everything, so far 37 different solutions ive tried, nothing fixed this. i would literally pay you if u want if u fix this problem for me.
currently im minimizing the amount of items in my inventory and mostly wearing vanilla stuff as ive lost hope on looking the way i want to look and wearing all the fancy armor and clothes i used to wear in the past. i'm about to give up, its breaking the game for me and breaking the fun. 4 months of hard work and meticulous, careful modding has gone to perish. im not a person who just slaps in mods , i carefully examin them, i test with and without before and after, and i dont download every mod i see, the mods i have are all working. every single one. no interference or incompatibility, no errors. the only thing is my game crashes from time to time but thats my computers fault.
other than that, everything is working. everything is clean and in order. again, ive been looking at solutions and trying them for over 2 weeks now. please save me.
thank you so much if you have read all this , i really wish to get help as soon as possible
Just to clarify as I'm not sure if you mentioned in your post: does it do this with wholly new characters or, regardless of your reinstalling mods etc, are you playing from the same character using saves that had previously used mods?
Just to be sure, you really should perform a clean install of the game as explained by the support here. But keep in mind that mod data can remain in your save files, so the issue can still occure if you load a save on which you used mods and on which you already encountered the issue..
After a clean install and if you start a new game, I'm pretty confident your issue will be fixed.
Welcome to CD PROJEKT RED Technical Support! Here you will find help regarding our games and services, as well as answers to frequently asked questions.
Well, as one newbee to other, and you are pretty on the 2-week ahead of me, let me send you this:
I started to play, like... yesterday or whatever, no-mods, no-nothing, vanilla thing steamdeck and PC. Started on PC, say meh, went to steamdeck say nay.
Wardrobe thing: Mods or not, I found the wardrobe thing broken every time. All the things I wore as a slot in the wardrobe are not avaiable in the inventory-backpack, I can equip-unequip but changing some items like face-things that allow some extra notch (+10 percent something, blah blah) shown as equipped, but the ragdoll/preview doesn't show them, even third camera moments appears the same slot equip from the wardrobe.
As initially discarded as a visual glitch to come to concern about some stats that could be applied or not when you wear the thing, made my to study a bit more deeper the issue.
As no mod, not touched game, my only fix, delete the wardrobe slots and don't even touch again those (If it's relevant for the gameplay or just a quick-way-to-equip clothes, sorry, but I didn't find yet this dilemma). Not wearing the slot won't help because sometimes reset to the last equipped slot and mixed your cloths or even say that you are not wearing anything on the slots but your dolly is pretty much head-to-toe dressed. Changing the jackets, putting the glasses or whatever doesn't affect the dolly preview, and unequipping anything doesn't made the dolly to show skin.
Essentially I imagine that some gameplay where you change clothes or force to destroy your clothes as a new-item mixed badly with the wardrobe one-click equipement and left the game in a weird state.
You can find things like: Wearing a slot of the wardrobe doesn't move the clothes to your inventory (there are in the caches but you need to manually move to your backpack). Unequiping things move those to the "inventory" to later dissappear to the cache.
As a really new-green player I don't know if the wardrobe thing is somehow something else that a one-click-new-look. If you really are facing hard times with the wardrobe, move the thing to your inventory, manually equip those and don't forget to delete all the 6 or whatever slots on the wardrobe because it my case was bitting my ass from time to time and didn't see a real need to suffer for a 3 clicks more every shower or nap.
In your case pretty much the mod thing is not helping the underlying issue (which I can't say that it's the same case than me, but pretty much, avoid the wardrobe just in case and enjoy hours of not wardrobing pain). You probably are seeing the cases where the ragdoll clothes are supposed to wear something that it's prolly messed with wardrobe thing and the mod allows you to see something that it's not straight out-the-box tested in the game (like the 3rd camera, pretty much that broke the whole visual when you don't have the item in inventory, doesn't show as equip and you clearly see the preview with it and the in-vehicle viewports showing you wearing the thing, plus mirrors).
Remeber, if you want to test my one-man theory not really expert opinion, empty the wardrobe slots, they show some delete or empty hint on the key you need to press and it not destroy the items, just remove the custom apperance and force you to equip the things manually (I need to press about this, because sometimes even if you didn't use the wardrobe the thing light-on and you have the issue with items that you don't have and can't remove in a mixed way, so empty those slots or maybe englight me with my next issue in the game about the need-to-know wardrobe gamechanger uses, for real, it's that I don't know if it's useful but to kill my fun and really don't need that)

If I'm understanding your post (I may not be in which case apologies), there may be a bit of a misunderstanding of how the wardrobe works.
You use the wardrobe to save outfits you like. You do not need to have the clothes that make up those outfits in your inventory. Click the wardrobe outfit and you will be wearing the outfit. Unclick it and you won't.
While wearing an outfit in the wardrobe, you will not see any change you make to the clothes you are "really" wearing in the inventory. You will see the wardrobe outfit because it behaves like a "skin" over the top of whatever you're really wearing.
If you want to see the clothes you are "really" equipped with, you need to remove your wardrobe outfit.

So since the new wardrobe system might seem a bit confusing at first glance, I decided to make this simple and short FAQ/Q&A style of tutorial to those who are having difficulties with it. Also if you have any other questions about the wardrobe system, feel free to ask :) So let's begin: Q...
If I'm understanding your post (I may not be in which case apologies), there may be a bit of a misunderstanding of how the wardrobe works.
You use the wardrobe to save outfits you like. You do not need to have the clothes that make up those outfits in your inventory. Click the wardrobe outfit and you will be wearing the outfit. Unclick it and you won't.
While wearing an outfit in the wardrobe, you will not see any change you make to the clothes you are "really" wearing in the inventory. You will see the wardrobe outfit because it behaves like a "skin" over the top of whatever you're really wearing.
If you want to see the clothes you are "really" equipped with, you need to remove your wardrobe outfit.
Pretty much sure that I am not using the wardrobe the way you need. My first instints facing this new game was trying to face all the learning curve of new things and drop everything that it doesn't show any real "improvement" (In a way that I didn't notice or see any value but visuals changes, which sorry to oversimpllied the issue, it's too many things and just want to play ).
Eventually noticed that the Johnny jacket was on but doesn't showed in any vehicle scenery where you see your doll, nor mirrors and you can equip or unequip but doesn't change anything.
That was... meh because it was nice, but I won't stop to bother in that when I have so many other funny way ahead, until some items gave you an edge then face the problem about not having any items in the inventory nor slots but shown in the preview, tried to change one lower item to a higher better stats item with not changes in the preview. That pretty much made my mind to invest an hour to check the wardrobe and went to crazy mixes with naked dolly in the preview with a fully dressed in game.
My current issue, it's pretty much your summarized approach that you can wear things that are not currently in your inventory but just a custom layout of the wardrobe (I can even understand that wearing that wardrobe pieces doesn't need to justify the need to KEEP in the inventory mixed with kilograms of grenades and long katanas XD) but you actually can have those things in the inventory, equip in any wardrobe as normal, and those things will shown in the slots of the body part in the inventory, you can unequip those without changes in apperance and... the main issue, you can equip almost 1:1 visually clone items with 8.5% whatever to a 10% whatever that change slighly in colour and you think you have one or the other because it's equipped, showed in the slot and really the wardrobe is overruling your game inventory (that is my current issue that I can't overcome but to drop the whole wardrobe thing until I master the whole other universe of new things, so ok for visual, nice one-click access, I will figure it later what I am doing wrong).
I am pretty much sure that our OP has facing this or that issue, and the mod thing allowing the camera outside the POV just made it more gruesome, but when I read wardrobe and inventory, it was like... my yesterday but ignoring the dressing as unconsequential for my gameplay for now. As something pretty easy, fast and reversible, I hope he can drop the wardrobe slots and check if the issue still happening, because I face the first one thinkinig that equiping the items manually was ok to discover that you need to clean the wardrobe and leave those slot emptied or keep bitting the dust randomly.
Sorry for the essays, just putting my fingers to other uses than pressing the stick until I pass out
to all of the people who replied, thank you so much for taking the time and trying to help me, it means a lot to me, thank you all very very much
as for your suggested solutions, i have already tried that, all of it, i tried all. of. it
i am good at modding and i am experienced with modding ( not a modding elite ninja ) but still can manage , however , again, i have been trying everything including you suggestedr fixes, and nothing worked.
emptying wardrobe outfits , deleting them, making new this new that delete this delete that , I DID ALL OF IT. ALL OF IT.

as for previous mods i had, which has files still lingering in the game files, that is what i have been thinking , but i dont know how to find them and delete them, i already deleted many things, including some weird old mod files, but how come they just started causing this issue now ? why not before ? or in my previous playthrough ?

The key point really is: is the game doing this with completely new characters. Or is it happening on characters whose saves include periods when you were using mods? If it's the latter, you probably can't fix this. The mods have affected the save files you are using.

That's why I think you should perform clean install of the game as explained in the link I posted, to be 100% sure there is nothing remaining in the game files which can cause the issue.
Then :
> Start a new game to check if everything's fine. In theory, it should.
> If it's fine, try to load a save on which the issue occured.
Either the issue is gone and well... it was something in the game files and you will be able to keep playing.
Either the issue still persist and it means the issue is somehow "burried" in the save files. And there, I don't know how you would be able to fix it (at least, I personnally don't know how).
And about how or why, well it's hard to say... Some will use the exact same mod. One will play without any issue and the other will encounter tons of issue.

I feel you man, and I throw my very recently thing with clothes but prolly knowing that you tried pretty much all of it just reading weeks... yep.
My inner developer as... I press keys with fingers for food... for a lot of years right now, always work in the background even playing and made some comments about my current issue and other posts that I feel in dire need to share now.
One thing I noticed playing from like pretty much the first hour of the game, it's (and sorry to compare but it's the one vs one that mostly come to my mind) GTA alike sandboxes were I throwed more waking hours than prolly I would ever drive any vehicle in my whole total lifetime... it was a particular thing that come almost unnoticed but it's pretty significant change in my "dev mind whow... amazing detail...". From tiime to time, a car blow up, and thing here and there, and you pass by time later and the sh t is burned and there... and the first thing that came to my mind was... "I nuked that shit like .... 10 hours ago? Seriously? Maybe ... no can't be.... how the f ck the game is keeping the whole thing persisted across the whole map...". This is relevant because any GTA player noticed in the "let's play with tanks" how fast and easy is to clean the slate just smashing cars no end in circles and the game cleaning the shitout to avoid a OOM, even nowadays with so 32 64GB of RAM that state persistence is pretty much nice, but crazy about performance (I figure it out that keeping a nice queue of FIFO destroyed things could be a good last 100 nuked cars that keep you in game and add a nice touch that you can turn your head and the burned hell of maelstrom you just made doesn't dissapear... just saying).
Funny that that idle though is the no return point for pretty much some of the issues where a weird state in certain thing it's passed to an endless state of no return. Considering the time investment about the "saving" and how much time you put on trying to solve the issue (and it comes to my mind that I am not ready to went back in time and do it again, to maybe, suffer the issue again, which prolly put my computer in an escape trayectory flying to the Sun...).
I am going to try my best Freudian step-by-step, as totally dumb-aware about the game, but usually those out-the-box random moments help me to debug issues:
1. Your saves are pretty much mushed, meshed, and worse. That it's pretty much a fact and it's not going back. Or even if going back nothing will certify that some thing that you do as human in some unusual order and in some unusal and pretty much nailed timestamp make the thing going awry again. That it's something that took my a lot of years to be at peace with it, i am able to do one simple thing and somehow manage to destroy a simple 3 step thing because I clicked the wrong corner everytime for over 20 years... and somehow that corner on that UI was ... not good... but meh (it's ... an example, trust me, I'm an engineer you can't believe the messed I made... and man... nobody ever sued me yet and took down things that average costs swing about one to two digits numbers with some thousand Ks to round the 0s in the right, per hour, just... clicking...)
2. Mods could play a role in the went bad to pretty bad. And if I read correctly you are much more in the hole investment hours that my sorry-ass 40 hours not way I going back. My assement, glass on, pencil tapping the notebook, removing or adding to the vanilla won't help. The current and best advise it's pretty much the above comments, keep the save games, those are free and only took a few blocks of disk, nothing to lose, just copy all outside game reach (again, not an idea about the or how the game use the save games, just saying.... can you say sign a paper giving me your soul that state the clean-first-time-new-download-not-modded-untouched-game .... but cloud save games, local files save game in your profile desktop folder that pretty much it's persisted even uninstalling and ... I am going to be even more throught.... can you say for sure that the PhotoPics persisted in game -aka screenshot with the camera thing on game- and I am guessing but I think that those are persisted too in cloud and between even platforms if you logged in with your account... because I will not sign that. It's pretty much, again, free... and giving the amount of time you put already, if you want to going deeper, my best advise is to remove all the "variables" that it's steam, DLC, mods, and I hate those saying antivirus, drivers and my mother panties, but I am going in the reduce the unknowns and put knowns bit a bit (like when some code revision destroy something, just cut the half of the code, try, if doesn't happen it's the other half, repeat... find the culprit... bisect to the win bro).
3. It's hard to guess the capabilities (about knowledge in some field, not potencial, don't get my wrong I do not sh t about rockets... so NASA engineers could explain me like 5 years old and I would love it and if I am facing a computer trying to kill me spinning CD rom disk at 100k RPM and opening the bay I would check with some exshortcist and throw again that shit to save John Connor). So bear with me here, practice the... not desesperation where you end up three days from today with a fresh windows XP installation and some direct X 9.0 with some unsigned patch drivers that stop the tearings in the caching Zbuffer... because you lost your shit and your focus when everything doesn't work and... usually that means that you are doing the same thing over and over and just walking in a nice forest in circles with a pretty nice developed rage saying that for Crom you will see this through (it's pretty much a honor-ego thing sometimes where you nuked all in a frustration mode that it's amazing at trolling the simplier facts). Drop the game, keep the enviorement (because If you reproduce the issue you know how to avoid, changing everything now .... it's too much and prolly solve or not the issue, won't help your sanity if 6 months from now hit the wall, trust me.... you are going to eat the monitor then). Don't log-in the game, clean, fresh install, make sure that the profile whereever that thing is on your computer (not an idea where that thing is nowadays on windows and I am using Proton in ValveOS and I would just nuke the whole steamdeck to make sure that I don't carry baggage that any other human playing this have in a clean new fresh installation).
I am ok with those Cache check from steam, from my knowledge from some time ago, Steam check the game installations (I can't say for sure that it's a steam thing for every game of every company that distribute on-steam, I put a good amount of time developing some mods for NS2 and garrysMod thing so... I am using those as reference: Steam checks the game files against the remote CDN without downloading the whole thing again. This ok on my book, on my experience I never ever find Steam resolving a breakage doing this. Why: pretty much any file downloaded from online server and in your disk should, must be identical to any other installation for the same version and blah blah, like... If somehow someone told me that every fresh, not launch yet, game installtion has variations in the similar specs I would ask why the f ck you wasted so much time downloading homongous games to end up with a nice entropy generators with your gamefiles just... for fun. No, universally every time I found steam "downloading" a corrupted installation was always in two and usually pretty bad outcomes: Your hardware is dying, fast, backup your porn now. An unsually but real innocent casual order of events made your initial game installation and one update patch later messing the game "known good state", I face this issue almost weekly in a beta game that throw rollout updates and hotfixes as fast as they could... the issue was in a short the devs using Steam out the "rule book" of good practices from Steam guys, not that I was bad idea, they wanted fast, but find that a 5-6GB file structure of gamedata that change with every revision was not good for constant patches and pissing off every player downloading 25GB "update" on a 26GB game... so... Steam patched some diffies, tried and some downloaded the whole file, parts and blah, that it's from my own experience in some games, nothing to be really worried, because the best to avoid knowing all of this and starting to work the case, nuke the installation. If somehow some file keep their existence that Steam doesn't even know their existence I am telling you there is no a f cking way that a Cache check gonna remove, fix or redownload a file that never came in the first place... because good luck explaining how Steam know if that file it's ok or not with the original installation... So, clean the slate, remove anything and even don't try to log in the account, my god I would tell you that after two weeks I would create another account just to make sure that it's not even possible that it's trying to shadow log by some weird launcher registry entry that it's not cleared .... and yes... that shit... it's immortal in my experience... I found some malware more removable than some configs persisted on stone myg0d...
And, now the easy part, after the whole relax I got your back... just hold my bear here and listen, somehow I found amazing that this game could be easly played in the cross-whole-platform-thing that pretty much add so much headache to the dev team that you can't imagine...
Saying that... I am not going to the deeps that... you tried on another computer like... you have a laptop that could... like ... run the game at 2fps if so... open that, steam install, download the game, do not... think avoid the mods please, log in the account that have those ... mushed save games but you left one pretty much in a state where you can load the game look in the mirror an appreciate the rage building up but your low-end laptop will load the game after 3 days ... you could watch in the mirror and... just ... maybe... what a shader thing with the drivers fuckoff from NVIDIA because... if you think that it's pretty edge case... it took my two days to reverse an gpu update that put one screen with orangish calibration and the other blushihgs... and it was because the dual screen layout what two identical models throwing the IDC calibration and NVIDIA decide that applying in the order that they read those calibrations in another random order to the identical model string... was ok... and nothing to worry about...
I won't go to the extreme to suggesting buying an XBOX and buying the game just to fact check if the headache with that savegames still happening, just... suggesting that maybe if you observe that the savegame doesn't destroy your soul because doesn't happen in any other place and fast saving there and going back solve the issue could be amazing... but that's my last resort... I really hate buying a new piece of furniture for two seconds fix and never looking at the expensive piece close to the TV... (no serious here, friends, and yes you shouldn't give your login to anyone... but you pretty much can share local save... COULD REPRODUCE THE ISSUE?). I am all out about this out-box-thinking just check... new account make sure i don't know how but pretty sure that you could somehow copy a local savegame to the cloud in the new account, find a friend with another console, platform, whatever, give the new-fresh-account, fast check if everything still happen, because all of this can be put in motion in parallel and without any... real unforseen consequences but to make sure that your savegames are the bad guy and the rest of things around that it's on an agreement that it's in a weird state...
And, my god, I am in a brainstorm... I remember that you can select some version on steam, right? Betas and I am pretty much sure I saw somewhere old_version2blah and veryoldthin1.blah... well no idea... and prolly refuse to load newly save games... but desperation without destroying or throwing money is not always a deadend, try... it's time and bandwith that I don't think nowadays people still pay for networking usage so it should be free but time cost more than money and no even money can buy back the time... (I am going to get weird looks, I would try to save an initial game on that version if the newsave ones are not loading, and prolly patch the savegame if it's not weird formatted and pretty much should be a critical mission to shield that thing from guys messing the bytes on the save game, so pretty much will load and blow the game in a big whoops or... I don't know pretty sure that if the thing resolve and you save on that game reversing to the new version could explode easily... and worse... could work nicely to explode after 5 minutes later crushing your hopes, soul, happiness and the screen... so proced with those facts in mind.
And to close my long and prolly not close to useful advise, humour helps to cope with computers using 2 instead 0s... just because galactic intervention... so one friend of mine time ago discovered he was blindcolour playing a game online... after some pretty mouthful trash talk over the mic the guy went crazy an use a f cking permanent pen black as hell in the f cking middle of the screen... we laugh we didn't understand anything and eventually everything was even funnier... the crosshair was some colour he didn't saw half of the time... like floursih bright red that turns grey with a hit happens... like in the fury of the battle when you are throwing your inner demons against the guy rabbit jumping his ass you crosshair dissapear and you end up... MAD... not that happen to me... but his eyes didn't agree and he was... not happy... and dying pretty much all the time and he was and is really really good in FPS... so everyone just f cking laugh at him. He f cking inkled a gaming screen in the middle of the pixels with a permanent marker in a rage-induced-fury.... if you think thats funny, tell me that you are not considering already put some post-it in the screen to hide the naked body of V. Now, you are, you welcome
