Bodyslide help? Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Okay, so I want to say I know what I'm doing, but I could be completely wrong about that. I'm pretty new to bodyslide, been working with it the past week or so and learning a whole lot of different things. I've followed the unofficial tutorials as best to my ability as well, but I still can't seem to figure everything out, though it could simply be because of the endeavor I'm attempting.

 

I've managed to create and distribute a different body type for each vanilla race in Skyrim with the help of this mod right here. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/20145/?

 

All I had to do was replace the bodies the modder (JoshNZ) created with the ones I made in bodyslide and viola, my Khajiit now have four breasts. Which is all fine and good with me, but the real problem comes when I'm attempting to make the outfits I convert in bodyslide to show up in game.

 

The outfits I'm attempting to convert are the vanilla armours and clothes that Robton had converted for his Tiddy McButt Body here: http://robton.nu/vanilla-armors-and-clothes-tmb/

 

My usual process to converting an outfit goes something like this.

 

1. Open Bodyslide and go into Outfit Studio

2. Click on File - New Project and choose Unified UNP Special as my reference

3. Find the outfit I'm looking to convert and hit finish

4. Bodyslide now looks like this:  post-701035-0-82958900-1472042305_thumb.png

5. I delete the body that was imported with the outfit

6. (Now this is the part where I could be messing up but I'm not sure) I use the brushes provided to fit the outfit to the reference body as best I can, (for the sake of not taking up too much time in doing this, I'll only be converting the top): post-701035-0-13226100-1472042558_thumb.png

7. I then go to Slider - Conform All

8. I hit Slider - Load Preset and find the preset I've made for the Bretons. I've titled it "Breton Chubby": post-701035-0-63077900-1472042676_thumb.png

9: After hitting finish the body now looks something like this: post-701035-0-37779600-1472042715_thumb.png

10: I fix whatever clipping there may be, in this case there was none, and I then go into the Shapes tab and hit "Copy Bone Weights"

11. After that I go into the files tab and hit Export - Export Nif

 

I'm using another mod to distribute the different outfits amongst the different body types that I've created for each race. It can be found here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61350/?

 

Following the instructions for the mod, I go into Skyrim/Data/Meshes/ArmorMulti/ArmorBody01/Bandit and I drop the Nif file I've created into it. I then go into game and configure everything I need through the MCM menu. I use console commands to make the armour appear in my inventory, but when I equip it to my character, it takes shape of the original reference from bodyslide rather than the shape of my character's body. I'm really at a loss here and I know I'm doing something wrong, I just have to be, but I can't seem to figure out what that is. Any help would be much appreciated and I apologise in advance for my stupidity on the matter.

From what I am aware off, you can not have different armour meshes for each female race, its a generic this mesh is used by all female races, though it would be great if you could.

 

The only way I could think of for this to work is create a seperate armour replacer for each race, with the armour have its own path with something like

 

female\khajit\meshes\armour\bandit

female\breaton\meshes\armour\bandit\

 

etc, etc for each race, and each armour, and for each armour piece you want to have different, do-able but it would be damn tedious to set up, and would take quite a bit of space as you would in effect have a complete armour re-placer for each races female form.

That's why I'm wondering if it would work using the folders created by this mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/61350/?tab=1&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D61350%26preview%3D&pUp=1

 

Or, looking at this mod here (Breastless Argonians): http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51232/?

 

It gives the Argonian females a completely separate body from the rest of the vanilla races. It even comes with its own armours to match and it's own directory for said armours: meshes/actors/character/Argonian/armor/bandit

 

And so on and so forth for each armour in the game. It seems to be possible, seeing as how if you install the mod correctly, not only do the Argonian females have different bodies from the rest of the other races, no matter what armour is equipped, so long as it is vanilla and not added by any other mod other than the one listed above (Breastless Argonians), then the armour changes to match the Argonians.

 

What I'm wondering is if you'd need some sort of script to all make it work or if it would be as simple as adding a few lines to the vanilla directory like with the Breastless Argonian mod?
