How exactly CBBE BodySlider Works?

[Magnus Thorek]

Maybe because this my first "non-serious" playthrough but I don't see how CBBE BodySlider works.
 
This is what I did:

• Installed CHSBHC -- BBP Nude and Jiggly Mod (but in fact I didn't notice any changes)
• Installed CBBE and configure it to use Custom Bodies
• Installed a few mods to have more options during Character creation:
  • Natural Eyes
  • Hair packs of TES VI Oblivion for Female Only
  • Hair Pack 1.06 (no specifc name, but it's the one for all races)
  • Enhanced Character Edit

After that I ran BodySlider with some extra Sliders I've found for a BodySlider++ (whatever is this) which allow creation of more realistic/fantasious bodies. After configured all sliders I saved the preset and clicked in Create Bodies button.

 

When I launched to create the character I removed the clothes with Console to see if everything went as good as expected and surprisingly the girl was with...u... default breasts, I mean, not big, but not small and almost touching her bellybutton ( ).

 

I closed the game and ran BodySlider again and this time I clicked the BatchBuild button thinking it would replaced all the female bodies.

 

Wrong again! >.<

 

I proceeded with character creation and I made a super beautiful red head, but with the not-so-sexy body. I passed the first scene (Unbound), saved, closed game and tried BodySlider one last time, but now creating a BigMomma's body, with everything at 100%. Not pretty

 

After launched for the last time, my character, previously created kept the old not-so-sexy body. Thinking about a possible cache, I loaded a previous save and created a new character and she still with default body.

 

What should I do to get this mod working? I'm seeing lots of picture of modified girls with big boobs and big butts but I can't make it work.

 

Then I read about default folder where the resulting files are stored and, because I changed mine to a different HDD partition I thought adjusting Configuration.xml paths would work and guess what? Nothing again.

 

I also read some guides and topics but no luck so far.

Moved to tech support.

Thank you BruceWayne. I did not realize such kind of topic could be framed as Technical Support.

 

Let me add some additional informations.

 

After several tries I uninstalled every mods that could possibly conflicting and finally I managed to see something working, after manually moving the .nif files. However the results were not even close to what I was expecting.

 

Using the CB++ Body Sliderset I mentioned (sorry, I don't have the link anymore) I have created this preset. Nothing too much big, but dragging the Weight slider in Character Creation Screen I was able to see the boobs getting bigger or smaller.

 

Because the results were too different from what I... modeled, I created another one, a little more exagerated and this time I remembered to take pictures:

 

 

 

See? The boobs aren't as big as in the preset, they're more... naturally flacid and "pointing down" (I don't know how to say something like "falling boobies").

 

And probably the other attributes, like butt and legs, are not matching my choices too.

 

Where am I messing up?

 

[EDIT]

 

Errrmm... Now I'm confused. I used the BodySlider++ and the generated .nif files worked with a different save, a few minutes after start (first time in Riverwood) but in Character Creation Screen remained exactly as pictures above.

 

I repeated the process with "normal" BodySlider and it worked too.

 

This could be an issue related to the fact in Character Creation Screen we have our hands tied.

 

But this doesn't explain the fact other attributes, of more specific sliders, like DoubleMelon, BreastsFantasy, BreastsClevage and PushUp, which are some sort of essential sliders to make them more realistic, are not taking effect, look:

 

 

Note: She is bald and naked just because I deactivated all possible conflitant mods.
