How can I port TBD textures to Sofia?

[sabertoothtigerz]

Hello  I currently am running several mods in my SSE i have cbbe but under my load order i have TBD touched by dibella, i need cbbe for other clothing mods, but with tbd at the bottom i can have the muscular texture maps i enjoy seeing in women but i have a problem

Sofia and pandorable's followers arent affected by TBD, it seems they have a skin of their own..idk why..

I currently have sofia the follower under TBD not sure if it should be under or above..to be honest..i have yet to try that out..

I wanna know how i can make at least sofia have TBD textures, i currently use MO2 and if anyone can help me out with this i'd very much be appreciated

Oh i also have..bodyslide and in the bodyslide preview i can see sofia's meshes because i have her bodyslide meshes and in the preview it shows her body with tbd textures but in game she has a vanilla texture but the shape is working.

Usually for this problem it is enough to take the textures you have chosen and paste them in the respective folder that you will find in the Skyrim data folder / textures / actors / character / female. In doing so, all the female characters of the human race ( I can not guarantee you even if they apply to other races ) will have the textures you have pasted. For the follower will be the same route
Skyrim data folder / actor / character / follower name
These are the paths for Skyrim LE but I think SSE has the same folders

Some difference could be had, but in a small part. Applying different textures you can also meet a difference in the color of the skin between the neck and the body, or differences related to the face (different from the original), Another solution would be to apply the original textures of the follower by changing only the files related to the muscle mass femalebody m_s_n, female head m_s_n, femalehands m_s_n coming from the same package to avoid possible differences in the colors

I've completely customized Sofia and she does run her own body and head. If you want her body to have the muscular look just take the femalebody_1_msn.dds file out of your textures / actor / character / female folder and place it in textures / actor / character / Sofia. It's also really easy to replace texture paths with nifskope if you ever wanted to make your own separate folders for them.

TBD body uses different neck seams & face normal maps which might make sofia look a little off.

 

I found the best way around this is to convert the BC7 textures back to AR8G8B8 UNFORM, blend it in tex blend, then compress it back.

 

I currently have the FSC diffuse for body & hands, TBD normal for body & hands and Adorable Face diffuse & normal for the Head.
