This is basically an huge modelling and animation mod I've been working on that is designed to make a lot of the stuff that people are looking for out of the 3d models either possible, better or easier. As time has gone on and I've improved at modelling and animating I've added and will continue to add stuff to it. Just based on the way this is coded, this stuff is usually together.

Please note that the mod itself is the Mega link that you can find under downloads. CBO vanilla is just a tiny overwrite of the gene files in CBO so that people who prefer the relatively narrow body range used by paradox can still access the mods other features.

So quick run down of what this does.

Adds new character models. The new character models have a higher poly count so they should look generally better than the base game models. They also have genitalia.

Added variation in butt sizes, hip sizes, waist sizes, and shoulder sizes. Generally creating more varied looking people. 

I added greater variety to breast, muscles, and fat that you see in the base game, the screenshots represent the most extreme possible visible in game to represent this greater variation but it's not the norm. As a side effect of some other work I've done I've made it so much taller characters are possible (up to around 9 feet tall) but this would require another mod to unlock.

I've added bones to the base models that allow animators to move the penis, butt, breasts, vagina, balls, and stomach of the models. In my attempts to create sex animations I basically found that I needed more control of these areas.

I've adjusted the base clothing and added revealing versions of most clothing in the game (I intend to add revealing religious and war clothing in future, considering how infrequency I update this description it's possible I already have added it and never bothered to update this descriptions).

I've added sex animations. I used to have a separate mod called carnal court that used the royal court system to create sex animations but I decided to integrate it into CBO.

I used to have a kinda janky work around to allow for sex animations in the normal event window, but it was broken in the recent update. I still intend to reintegrate this feature eventually because I don't like the animations being pay walled, but unfortunately doesn't seem to be an easy fix.

If you have this Royal Court included in this mod is carnal court make love interaction which triggers the animations. 

New Clothing:

The new clothing won't exist in the game by default, but they are available to be added in full screen barbershop.

Most of the clothing can be seen by switching the "revealing clothing" option from "default" to "revealing clothing." This will make it so that whatever outfit you select for a character, you will instead see a sexier version if one exists.

Other clothing such as underwear has also been added.
 

IF YOU THINK THE SHAPES ARE TOO EXTREME FOR YOU:

You have two options, one is CBO Vanilla. CBO Vanilla is the exact same mod as CBO, just with the butt sizes removed, and using the vanilla game's weight gene, and bust gene.

You could also download Physical Attributes. I personally like to have a broader range of potential characters but physical attributes is designed to redistribute the wider range created by CBO. The result is that you will still see the extreme sizes but less often.

Installation:

You can access the mega link through the download button. 

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

If you have a previous version of CBO, delete the entire thing, as well as CBO Vanilla.

In order to install place the zip files in your mod folder. By default Paradox places it in your document's directory, changing that is difficult. If your documents directory is in One Drive, you need to stop backing up your documents directory to one drive. This is true for all CK3 mods. Your computer will try to backup your mods to the cloud. If a mod contains only a few text files this is not a huge deal. CBO contains over 3.5 GBs of graphical assets. It will not work.

Select all of the mods you just placed in your documents directory and unzip. But if you are about to use WinZip, don't. CK3 uses extremely long file paths for their clothing, and I need to follow their lead or the files won't overwrite. Find a different unzipping software and use that (I use 7Zip)

You should be able to find Character Body Overhaul in the Paradox Launcher. Although the launcher is notoriously buggy about recognizing mod folders.

If it's refusing to recognize any mod you can just create a new mod. On the menu on the left of the launcher select All installed mods, then upload mods. Make sure not to touch the drop down and select Create a mod. Put in the information needed and it will create a mod shell. Since your launcher just created it, it will recognize it. You can just throw all the files in there just make sure all the folders at the level of the descriptor file look identical to what was in CBO at the level of the descriptor.

Known Issues:

There has been some weirdness reported with all genes unlocked, I believe this mod is incompatible, though unclear on the details.

Lots of naked characters, clothing in spiky balls, or clothing seemingly stretched in random distorted ways. You are probably using a different mod that adds clothing or body models. These will not be compatible unless a specific compatibility mod exists.
