SoS and UNPB BBP Assistance

[Spyder Arachnid]

Okay so I've been using Better Males for like, ever. But kind of tired of that body, and have been wanting to try out SoS for awhile.

 

Last time I tried it though, I got CTDs every time. So I ended up resorting back to Better Males.

 

BUT, I want to get it working this time. The question is, I'm confused on what to do to get it working and prevent any CTDs from it. The description on the page is a bit confusing to me, and from what I am reading, it replaces the skeleton. Well I use UNPB BBP already that changes my skeleton, so wouldn't this conflict with each other?

 

Basically I'm asking for a little guidance on getting this set up properly. I want to keep my UNPB BBP, and I understand what all I need to install that. But I want to use SoS now as well, but I don't want it to mess up my UNPB BBP.

 

So if anyone could provide me with a little step by step, that would be extremely helpful in setting this up. Thanks.

I've had those installed for quite a while now, so I don't remember exactly how I proceeded, but I don't think SoS overwrites any data from UNPB BBP. The skeletons it does overwrite are the male ones. So in order to keep the functionality of any custom skeleton you have installed for males, you need to install an SoS-compatible version of it (after installing SoS so that the SoS skeleton gets overwritten) to have the best of both worlds: the extra bones of your custom skeleton and the extra bone from the SoS skeleton.

 

IIRC, the first time around I installed SoS over UNPB - as the latter was already installed -, then I reinstalled XPMS and finalled I installed the XPMSPlusSoS skeleton that matched the XPMS skeleton I used. When UNPB was updated, I installed it over SoS, then XPMS over it and finally XPMSPlusSoS over everything. Neither time did I have a problem. (FNIS not mentioned but run everytime) I can't speak for custom races with their own skeletons though, as I don't use one. Hope that helps a little.

Does the game crashes when you take off your chest piece? Then you most likely haven't installed this: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/36923//?

Does the game still crashes? Could it be you're using a custom race?

Yeah I'm reinstalling at the moment, going to start modding soon.

 

Just downloaded that XPMSplusSoS and going to give that a shot. I don't think I got that last time, so that was probably the issue.

 

Hopefully all goes well. Will edit when I finish to let you know how it went.

So it all installed fine, and even using TBBP now with UNPB, instead of BBP. Though can't find any decent animations for TBBP so sticking with my BBP animations for now. I tried Dragonfly's animations, but they were a little much for me. Wasn't fond of the running animation or the idle animation. And didn't really see any breast bounce with the walking animation at all.

 

Seems every single idle and walk animation I try, has these extremely broad shoulders. Tried the TBBP animations from the TBBP thread, and the shoulders just jutted out. Tried ADEC idle, and again, the shoulders just jut out. Tried some of the other idles like the hip sway, but it made my butt flat.

 

So for now, using regular BBP animations. At least till XP32's Animation Pack supports TBBP.

 

But got SoS and UNPB TBBP working together now just fine. No crashes! So thanks much guys.

 

Edit: Just going to stick with BBP instead of TBBP. While TBBP looks nice (the breast movement), there just isn't a lot of support for it at the moment (UNPB version). Plus not a fan of the current animations, and all my armors and clothing are BBP any ways. Seems pointless to use BBP animations and BBP outfits, on a TBBP body when I can't even see the TBBP animation. Plus I got the crushed breasts and butt issue, and don't feel like dealing with that when I just use BBP stuff any ways.
