[mod] Character Body Overhaul

[Kekmongus]

Is there a way to create a sort of "aging beauty" (gene in the standard ruler designer unlocked" which prevents lower body aging e.g. muscle detirioration or immense breast sagging while aging head and hair like normal) substitude since i guess your gene modifications interfere with the standard aging? Or is there something to edit in the files that could have a simmiliar effect? Really enjoyed my old "veteran" characters that still were rock solid at 50 or 60.

Thanks for the Update! 

However, i have an issue. 

Asian Monk clothing is applied to characters(especially to Europeans) for no reason. 

Same thing happening to me 

[scum71]

I'm having the same issue with the Asian Monk clothing( I think there from Absidian court dlc), and I use the adroit religion mod with nudism, but about half the characters won't undress, including mine.

Look at my picture and do this.

Me as well. Disabled mods incrementally all the way down to only CBO itself, and almost no one's wearing the right clothing.

 

edit: Thanks for the quick fix Mange!

I can also confirm this problem. Updated to the new CBO and all of my characters in both old loaded games and new games have monk clothing on. I switched back to the old CBO for now.

Thank you for the reply, I didn't realize that Full Screen Barbershop was required

I believe that I've figured out why my character won't undress, because she's not 18 yet, but the Asian clothing problem is still there.

My game crashes any time I try to play the Iberia content. The load-up intro to the Reconquista event makes the game crash. I narrowed down mods to CBO to make sure it was it.

You need to download the last version of CBO. I had the same problem on Fate of Iberia. Remove old mod and put new one into mod folder.

@Mange2020 so still no fix for this Skinny Characters if they are from the Workshop? Still the same for me.

I have zero idea what this could be about. It would have to be mod incompatibility/load order though. Characters from the workshop obviously won't have the right genes. Think of it like all characters have "required genes" and "optional genes" (called special genes). I have always added a bunch of required genes for butt and penis size. Which is why I didn't think it would be an issue to add more. So now butt size, penis size, body fat distribution, upper body muscles, lower body muscles, muscle definition, nipples, areola's, hips, shoulders, waist. The workshop characters won't have these genes defined, when that happens it will apply a version with zero value.

When you say skinny you could mean a couple things. if you mean they look emaciated then yeah that's probably a mod incompatibility. The fat distribution gene is controlled by portrait modifiers so it should adjust itself automatically, could be wrong though. Like maybe the modifiers don't work because the character doesn't have that gene to modify, but I think it should work. But a character with zeroed out hips, waist, and shoulders will look super skinny too. 

If you play with physical attributes it will give them a randomized value and it should look fine, though not maybe as you want. You can play around with them in the debug menu a bit though. 

This is not an issue I'm gonna work on. The easiest thing to do would just be to edit the characters yourself to add the new genes. I did this for all the bookmark characters in the game. Just adding the following code at the end of the character's DNA data would do it, unless they use the old strings.

             gene_bs_penis_size={ "penis_size" 106 "penis_size" 113 }
             gene_bs_butt_size={ "butt_size" 106 "butt_size" 113 }
            gene_bs_body_fat_distribution={ "body_mid" 127 "body_mid" 127 }
             gene_bs_upper_body_muscle={ "upper_body_muscle" 0 "upper_body_muscle" 0 }
            gene_bs_lower_body_muscle={ "lower_body_muscle" 0 "lower_body_muscle" 0 }
             gene_muscle_definition={ "body_muscle_definition" 0 "body_muscle_definition" 0 }
            gene_bs_nipples={ "nipples" 127 "nipples" 127 }
             gene_areolas={ "areolas_1" 0 "areolas_1" 0 }
            gene_bs_hips={ "hips" 127 "hips" 127 }
            gene_bs_shoulders={ "shoulders" 127 "shoulders" 127 }
             gene_bs_waist={ "waist" 127 "waist" 127 }
        }
    }
    enabled=yes
}

I seem to be having issues with the latest update. Character breasts are shrinking to near flat chested after character creation and starting the game. The max weights seem to be significantly smaller than the previous version of CBO and the naked toggle with fullscreen barber no longer works, and instead shrinks and enlarges body proportions instead of removing clothes.

 

There is new drop down menu on the barber shop with the newest version of CBO at the upper right above the original clothes drop down menu so maybe that's conflicting with something? I'm kinda lost.

Issue 1: Are you using physical attributes or have you enabled carn traits. Physical attributes disables the breast size slider so more likely enabling carn tits traits. Which would shrink breasts to "average" size if you don't have one of the traits
Issue 2: This is a feature not a bug. The max weight seems smaller because characters used to look bigger when clothed to prevent clipping. I found a way to make it so they look the correct size (or closer to it). But they are the same size when naked. Or you could be noticing the fat distribution. Like in real life characters will carry their weight differently, some in the lower body, some in the upper body.
Issue 3: That's some weird shit. Unless I see a bunch of other reports I would have to guess an installation error or mod incompatibility unrelated to CBO.

This is working perfect

That aging style is still there and looks good. You'll just need to edit it in the genes. I have it at

"gene_age={ "old_beauty_1" 235 "old_beauty_1" 0 }"

and it works very well.

I may shed a light on this; I had the same issue using the "ruler designer unlocked" and my created chars looked like the described. I figured the DNA par out myself and that should indeed work just fine. Deleting everything under the "eyelashes_accessory=" line and replacing it with something like what you posted works great.

Is anyone else facing problem with the iberian female armors? They're either making character naked with deformed bodies or making them look like Nemesis (I'm using the newest file and yes, i have deleted the previous ones before installing).

[lucas182]

Has anyone managed to merge window_event.gui from this mod with Duel Overlay, Nameplates, or (even more complete as it has both) Resizable Events (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2518015378 ) , so that the characters in the sex animations dont look completely out of place? I tried auto merging with KDiff (same thing used to merged Witcher 3 mods), and it auto resolved all issues, but it still didn't work. I'm gonna look into it some more, but if anyone has any insight, that would help.

 

Thanks for the amazing mod Mange

He's probably using physical attributes. I get rid of that gene in physical attributes. But I have a good reason. That gene creates a modelling issue. There's a seam in the shoulders because the head and body are seperate entities. I am careful to make sure that any body/head shape accounts for this. The old head/body is one of the ones that moves this seam. If you apply one without applying the other it creates a gross seam. I don't know why paradox is ok with this.

Sounds like you have a mod conflict. Clothed characters are actually meant to have deformed looking bodies still, But it's done with tags instead of genes, which is why the barbershop works better now. Given this I wouldn't be surprised if issues like this are the new issue people using incompatible clothing mods see.

Those 2 are the only armors with this problem (And by the way, thanks for the great job with the mod)

I’ve tried running the game with carnalitas and all other mods disabled and still have the broken nude toggle (clothes not being removed) and the weird dropdown menu (I wouldn’t be surprised if this anomaly is the reason for the nude toggle not removing clothes.)

 

But after clarifying what is and isn’t intentional, I think you’re probably right that something broke during installation. I’ll do a fresh install and try again.

Thank you for the help.?

Idk what to tell you. It seems like a problem on your end. 

I guess my only thought is, is your documents directory on one drive. It looks like your game isn't reading some of the new models.

You were right, i took your files for the christian and muslim female armors and replaced the ones in my base game, now it's working 100% fine!

I have noticed a glitch with the gender swap option: apparently, the teeth aren't moved according to the scaling gender swap, which causes them to clip with the head on settings higher than 50% (observed on a male model). This wasn't present in previous versions of the mod, so I'm not sure what's causing it.
