Using CBBE 3BA with MO2. Bit of confusion with bodyslide.

[Nexus72]

  Question. When I batch build in Bodyslide, do I do it for every *outfit* in Skyrim SE or just the CBBE 3BA outfits? I am a little confused because of the instructions under installation at the Nexus Mods page. CBBE 3BA (3BBB) at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com)

 

  Check under Installation, the instructions and gif there is what I am asking for clarification on.

You have two options:

1) you batch build every outfit, in that case BodySlide tells you when there are conflicting slidersets for a certain outfit and you may choose the one used (eg the 3BA variant)

2) You pick every outfit to build by hand, in that case you can make sure that only the correct variants are built and you can choose the toggle "sliders" (forgot their official name) if there are those, but you may forget some outfits

 

I'd suggest the first option, normally you don't batch build that often, so you just have to go through the list once per playthrough. And if you know the outfits with "toggle sliders" where you want to change something, you can overwrite those with individual builds after the batch build.

If you have body slide files for an armour or clothing set that has both CBBE and 3BA (3BBB) bodyslide options then you should always build the 3BA version. If you do try to batch build, say, your entire bodyslide list, the menu that comes up will ask you to select which option you'd like for anything that is mutually exclusive. So if you have a robe with both CBBE and 3BA files and you try to batch build, it will only let you chose one or the other to build. 

In the Gif, everything that 3BA needs to function (the body, NPC, and PC collision) will be under that 3BA category. Some mods might not have placed their 3BA files there though. It's always best to try searching for newly added mods in the top right search bar by name.
