Bodyslide works, but now to make it work with armor :P

[erc1971]

Thanks to everyone who helped me to get bodyslide to work.  Now I need to get it to work with armor.

 

I am using this armor mod...

 

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/25259//?

 

It is a CBBE and Bodyslide enabled set of armor.  I followed the install instructions exactly, but the armor does not match my body, donning the armor changes my character's body shape.  Any idea on what I am doing wrong to keep it from working with Bodyslide?

 

FYI: Not worrying about the breast movement animations

 

Thanks,

 

Eric

 

Edit:  I read through the documentation for the armor mod some more and found this...

 

15) What's the best way to go about customizing these outfits in bodyslide? Can you do them all at once?

I always start by creating my body shape. As of version 4.0, I run only bodyslide++.exe and I start by choosing "CB++ Bodies" from the first dropdown. I then choose the body I want (BPP or standard). Finally, I select my preset (in case you were wondering, I use "CT77 CBBE" because it's the best ;-). I then Build the body. Next, I create the oufits. bodyslide++.exe is MUCH better at remembering your preset than bodyslide.exe was. so my CT77 CBBE will still be selected. If I'm using the Standalone version, I can use craftable panties, so I change to the Zap Panties version of this preset and click "BatchBuild Groups". I check EVERYTHING THAT STARTS WITH CT77 and nothing else. I wait. The bodies are created. Next (Optional), I load up specific sets using the group filter and apply the "CT77 CBBE Pushup" preset to certain outfits (Dragonscale, Archmage, Mage Journeyman, Vampire - really anything that looks good with that effect.). Then I regenerate those by hand and I'm done. Finally, I ... wait for it ... wait for it ... play Skyrim. Yay.

 

It sounds like you have to use Bodyslide to apply your presets to each armor.  Unfortunately his instructions are not detailed enough for me.

Simplest way I can explain it is this:

 

1) Create the bodyshape you want in Bodyslide and save it as a preset.

2) Select your saved preset body in the preset dropdown menu.

3) Click on the Build Multiple Groups button

4) Select the armor sets you want to change (I usually do groups of about 5 at a time).

 

Bodyslide should save the adjusted meshes in the correct locations for the armors. Be aware that if you use a Slider Set that is either BBP or TBBP you need to use a compatible skeleton or the game will crash when that armor is used.

Thanks much.  Worked like a charm!

 

Now to wait for someone to release CB++ Bodyslide clothes to go with the armor
