[QUESTION] one armor for two body types?

[N.Gamma]

Hello,
i use in skyrim UUNP, for normal NPC's i form the UNP body and for my character and the waraidens i use the 7B Oppai body.

Is it somehow possible to shape the same piece of clothing/armor so that it fits both bodies ingame, and not just the UNP or just the 7BO body?

In the normal case I formed all vanilla and new by mods added clothes and armors which are standardly wearable by NPC's, with bodyslide for the UNP body.

And only special armor for the 7BO body.

So is it possible to customize armors/clothing with Bodyslide or an additional mod so that they autamatically adapt to different bodies ingame?

Short Answer, No. When you equip armour in Skyrim you are also "equipping" a new body. If the armour was made with a UNPetite and your character had a 7B body then as soon as you equip the chest piece (or whatever piece has the body mesh attached to it) your body will now be that preset. Body Slide has no function in the game directly the closest you would have for this is the Racemenu sliders for UUNP which could do this for your character but not for NPC's.

There is a Mod called Manipulator that lets you use some racemenu functions on NPCS (including the body preset sliders) but I have never found the results to be that permanent.

 

Long Answer, Yes, it has been done with custom races before, namely child ones, but it would be a pretty large job.

I think you would need to be using a custom race, certainly for your PC but maybe for the Bijin NPC's as well.
You would also need to have duplicate of all the armour meshes with the 7B preset and have them in a different directory and then the have the custom race(s) use this set of armours.

More effort than it would be worth, imo.
