Bikini Armor Quest and SunJeongs TAWOBA 6.1

[applesandmayo]

Probably can guess what I'm going to ask in the title - is there a modified esp of the Bikini Armor Quest mod out there that lets you use the existing set of bikini armors from TAWOBA 6.1, instead of requiring an entirely new set, which then requires a 3BA conversion if you want to use that instead of BHUNP?

 

I have no idea why Bikini Armor Quest comes packed with its own version of TAWOBA, instead of just requiring armor packs as hard dependencies.

Anyone?

That's a pretty good question to be honest. I have Bikini quest simply because it has all the keywords for Baka's mods by default. Yet its missing a shit tonne of the newer armours that TAWOBA 6.1 has. I would also like to know if there is an answer to this.

 

The whole bikini armour thing is frankly a hot mess. There are so many devs and so many forks / variations with names so similar that I feel like I have dyslexia when trying to find out what I already do or don't have. Heck once you add on trying to find additional patches, and having to get modified esps just to make them work with SL Survival its enough to make one go mad.

Agreed. Why there hasn't been a comprehensive build of it yet, I don't know.

Lack of standardization and agreement is the eternal bane of modding. There are at least like 5 different mods that independently add some way to track how revealing an armour set is, and since no framework is fully considered the "standard", the number of mods actually utilizing such a feature is very small.

 

It's the tradeoff for freedom, I suppose.

There will probably never be a comprehensive build because none of the people working on them have settled on features, armor slots, keywords or even the name of the .esp to use.

 

BakaFactory added extra features like armor break(I think, been a while since I wore them), and people in inns taking off your top and bottom which I have no idea how to get Sunjeongs remastered version to replicate. While Sunjeongs version has more armors, no SOS issues and better bodyslide morph support.

 

ATM I'm using both Bikini Armor Quest and Sungeongs remastered version as a terrible compromise. Hopefully one day Baka will just use the remaster and bodyslide files done by others for his quest mod, but they seem to like doing their own thing instead of working with others so not likely to happen.

Made this really rough "conversion" of the bikini quest mod.

 

It adds Sunjeong's TAWOBA remastered and heelsounds as a master. I forwarded the slot changes and the SOS Revealing keyword from the Remastered version. The bikini quest adds a few armor pieces and separates some parts that don't exist in the Remaster so I didn't touch those as I have no experience in using outfit studio.

The bikini quest mod adds a script to most of its armor pieces for events and armor degradation rather than using keywords like Babodialogue. This is the reason why I only touched the main mod file as the TEWOBA and Kardia armor files that come with the mod don't seem to have any scripts attached to their armor though they do add a crafting book for them.

 

The Bikini Quest SLS.esp adds the Sexlab Survival Bikini keyword to the armors. Only necessary if you're using Sexlab Survival so I separated it as an ESL flagged ESP.

 

I didn't test it extensively so it probably has issues.

Just OOC does anyone know a way to make Lux pasties wear with a cloak/cape as both hog the 46 slot?

I tried to move the pasties via SSEedit to slot 48 but it failed dismally. So now my "girls" have  the original choice: cold back or cold boobs (yes, I do know that they provide little warmth, but they look good and make them happy).

You must also adapt the mesh files (typically via Nifskope) to match the slot(s) in SSEdit.

For BodySlide items, that means the meshes in CalienteTools\BodySlide\ShapeData.
