johnny2by4 Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 the sexlab mods seem straight forward, i don't really have a problem with those. my hang up right now is the cbbe/unp... mods that make your characters hot and add bounce. i'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction for a guide to do this (preferably for cbbe since it looks like it's developed for more). if not can someone tell me what i need to download beyond just cbbe. i know that i would have to download armor mods to make them use the body, but what i dont know about is whether i need to download different facial mods/skeleton mods (for jiggle)/ hair mods (apachi hair seems common)... any help appreciated.
BruceWayne Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 While I agree that there is a lot to read through in the CBBE thread over at the Nexus, it provides a lot of links and troubleshooting for installation, regarding face mods and skeletons. Searching for CBBE armor replacers on the nexus yielded a lot of results as well. Depending on how you want your Skyrim to look, you should be able to pick something to your liking. Installation of armor replacers is pretty straight forward with NMM or even if you were to do it by hand. Meshes go into the skyrim/data/meshes folder and skyrim/data/textures go into the textures folder. This method is not recommended however, as you will find it difficult to delete all the armors by hand, if you are not satisfied with the results. Hair mods work indepedently from body replacers, so you shouldn't have any problems with installing those along. It might be a bit trickier to have multiple hair mods, but I'm sure there are solutions for this scenario as well. I hope that helps.
johnny2by4 Posted July 5, 2013 Author Posted July 5, 2013 ok what about bbp/tbbp. are these two different? i notice that you need to download them separately from cbbe, but which one?
BruceWayne Posted July 5, 2013 Posted July 5, 2013 This most likely depends on what style you like better. I'm sure there are examples on their differences. I can't guide you any further since I never used them. Big part of the modding fun is in the choices you get. The trade-off is figuring out how stuff works on your own. Although I'm sure that the creators of either mod provide detailed installation instructions and things to look out for.
johnny2by4 Posted July 6, 2013 Author Posted July 6, 2013 i found another topic here that seems to answer a lot of my questions. http://www.loverslab.com/topic/18574-ripping-my-hair-out/?hl=bbp but at this point there is still one thing i'm confused about. if i want to use CBBE (these abbreviations are killing me) with a BBP mod would this be the one i use http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/4888/?tab=1&navtag=%2Fajax%2Fmoddescription%2F%3Fid%3D4888%26preview%3D&pUp=1 and if so wouldn't this replace body textures from CBBE? would i also need to download this skeleton? http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26800//?
