Issues with EXTREME AB presets

[tuttobutt]

So, I recently got Fallout 4, and I have really got into modding. They just make the game a lot more fun, but I've also been tampering with Atomic Beauty and Bodyslide to personalise my female character.

Now, I like my character thicker, and I'm not talking about a slightly larger butt, slightly wider hips, or slightly larger boobs. The kind of chick I dig are, well, see for yourself... (image 1 and image 2)

Now, some of you might be disgusted by me, and that's fine, but surely some of the people on this forum relate to the problem of having an AB preset with EXTREME proportions.  A lot of the armour mods I have downloaded tend to clip with the huge ass or tits, and it kind of breaks the experience or immersion for me (yes, I realise the absurdity of saying this when I have a character that looks like some ancient fertility goddess).

So, I'm basically looking to create kind of a compendium for armor mods that are compatible with such a rubenesque player model. Firstly, I wanted to go over the issues with the Easy Girl Outfits for Atomic Beauty, which is a conversion of an even older CBBE armor set (download at https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/21780?tab=posts ). Some of the armors look good and don't clip, but they're definitely in the minority; pictures 3-7 are some unfortunate examples. Now I initially thought this was just because my preset was so freakishly voluptuous, but judging by te posts on nexus, this isn't the only example of Easy Girl armours clipping.

Also, I've seen examples of AB conversions that work remarkably well with my preset

-Image 8 and 9 is the slooty vault jumpsuit ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/12456 )

-Image 10 and 11 are from the waster armour set ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22310 )

-Image 12 is the fur jacket from the PAMPAS set ( https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19360 )

I could list more, but the Easy Girl set is in the minority when it comes to incompatible armour with my preset, so the issue could be on my end. Do any of you guys know how to resolve the clipping issues? I have only really just started with modding so forgive me if I'm a little clueless.

Also, you may have noticed in the images that there is a slight issue with the characters arm going through their buttcheek when they are idle. This doesn't really bother me that much, but it adjusting the position of the arm during the idle animation using some kind of downloadable tool doesn't seem too difficult for an amateur modder, but I could be dead wrong.

1. Unfortunately, nothing you do short of completely remodelling each armor you download over your specific AB preset will ever resolve clipping in the armor. Even then there's gonna be slight clipping from movements and into itself. You also run into the issues of Textures being stretched or Distorted to hell. 
   1. Also Some if not a lot of armors will need to be edited to be higher poly in order to look smooth over your preset and not come out blocky... 
   2. Issues like this are inevitable at larger presets like yours. 
2. There's no simple tool to just fix idle animations to not clip the arms into the buttcheeks or sides while at rest and unless every woman in your game is built like that it'll affect every woman's idles. Also IIRC there's no easy way to extract game idles for editing, or any easy way to actually edit them...

Ah well, that sucks. Like I said, the idles issue doesn't really bother me that much, and I would be willing to experiment with some of the armor/clothing models if I knew exactly how to :P. I have outfit studio but when I try to load the preset in as a reference, and the pick the clothing I wanna customise, a reference error comes up saying it can't load.
