Bof's Babes n Bimbos - Bimbos of Skyrim NPC Replacer 1.1

A NPC replacer for various NPCs in the fantastic Bimbos of Skyrim using many of my presets from my preset pack Bof's Babes n Bimbos.

 

I do not have enough presets for every NPC in BoS so not everyone got one, but I covered quite a few of them with more to come in the future based on updates to BoS, updates and new characters from my preset pack, and one or two that I still need to add that were having some issues so they have been sidelined for now.

 

Some of the replaced NPCs have had their races changed in order to get my presets to work on them. I haven't run into any issues because of this but please let me know if you do! Affected NPCs will have the change listed below:

 

NPCS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED
 

Morella Graymane - Uses the Morella preset from BBnB
 

Lyli Battle-Born - Uses the Piper preset from BBnB - Is now an Imperial
 

Erina - Uses the Adeleide preset from BBnB
 

Lyvelia Tarlin - Uses the Yvenna preset from BBnB

Lyvvi - Uses the Yvenna Bimbo preset from BBnB
 

Vallie Al-Alina - Uses the Emerane Bimbo preset from BBnB

Valisephona Al-Alina - Uses the Emerane preset from BBnB
 

Anaita - Uses the Del Bimbo preset from BBnB - Is now an Imperial
 

Tarria the Bitch - Uses the Aluisa Bimbo preset from BBnB
 

Roni - Uses the Eciphe Bimbo preset from BBnB - Is now a Dark Elf
 

Cindil - Uses the Narelae preset from BBnB
 

Jill - Uses the Narelae Bimbo preset from BBnB - Is now a Wood Elf

• Yes I know I just used Narelae for Cindil, but they are on opposite sides of the world from each other so I think the two different versions are ok here.
   

Telariel - Uses the Galesse preset from BBnB - Is now a Wood Elf

 

KNOWN ISSUES
 

• IMPORTANT  - Only Lyvelia and Vallie change into a bimbo preset when they become bimbos. This is because they are the only two NPCs that have an actually new NPC assigned to their bimbo version that I replace separately from their non-bimbo version. To my knowledge there is no way to easily automate changing the preset applied and to have it be aware if any of the other NPCs become bimbos, nor do I have the skill to do it if there is
   
• Jill's collar is missing it's texture. I'm not 100% sure if I did this in this mod or if it's just a problem with my mod list.
   
• All replaced NPCs have had their weight changed to 0. This is because all of my presets are saved at this weight so if you use a weighted bodyslide preset you may notice some NPCs' bodies are a bit different than they used to be.
   
• [insert replaced NPC] has a gap between their neck and their head!
  • This occurs when loading this mod into an ongoing save. It's caused by the problem NPC's weight not being 0 by default before installing this mod while my replacer needs them to be at 0. Starting a new game will fix this.
     
• Using an AI upscaled version of the required eye mods will cause the presets to fail to load.
   
• IMPORTANT - There are a lot more requirements for this mod than other NPC replacers
  • This is because I made this mod much more for myself than my other mods, and I'm not great with CK or NifSkope so I just use xEdit to call resources instead of baking them into the NPCs. Also done to stay in line with some mods' usage permissions. I will work to shorten the list over time as my time and willpower waxes and wanes.

 

REQUIREMENTS - If you already have the Bof's Babes n Bimbos Preset Pack you should already have these. Fair Skin is the only possible exception.

 

• Bimbos of Skyrim - And ALL of it's requirements
• Hearthfire DLC - Also required by BoS so you should already have this.
• High Poly Head  - Google Drive mirror link. I think the official site has been nonfunctional for some time.
• Fair Skin - If you use a different skin mod it may cause issues/seams with the heads of replaced NPCs since they all have their own .dds textures I exported using Fair Skin.
• KS Hair - Use v1.9 or newer. Anything older will cause the presets to fail to load.
• The Eyes of Beauty - Do not use an AI upscaled texture mod.
• Improved Eyes of Skyrim - Do not use an AI upscaled texture mod.
• Hverg's Eyebrows
• High Poly Head Patch for Hverg's Eyebrows
• Goam's Elven Ears

 

This is my first foray into making a mod with a .esp so please tell me if there are any issues you come across while using it! It is an esp flagged as esl.

This mod might be compatible with LE, but probably isn't.

 

INTSALLATION

• Use your mod organizer of choice or manually drop the files into your data folder, I will not support any issues with manual installation.
• You may need to start a new game for the changes to appear. I had mixed results in my testing when loading the mod into an ongoing save.
