How to make custom OBody preset?

[mastering48]

Hello, I'll try to describe my problem. I was advised a good mob OBody, it allows you to open the menu in the game and select a body type from the list. It so happened that I chose the "Sweetheart Body" preset and then additionally adjusted it in racemenu. I saved a separate preset for racemenu. I accidentally found the folder where racemenu stores these saves. My setting looks like this "Eva modified.jslot". I can't figure out how to save this to a file that OBody understands, so that I can then select it from the list.

OBody uses BodySlide presets not RM presets.

 

You need to read, understand and follow the instructions on the Nexus OBody page.

Damn, it's really hard to understand. As a result, I get some kind of mess.

Okay, so start at the beginning. What part don't you understand?

 

Are you using BHUNP or CBBE 3BA? SOS or HIMBO?

[mastering48]

I use CBBE 3BA, because that's what I was taught in the sexlab starter guide. I haven't learned how to use BHUNP yet. I tried to figure it out, but it was all very confusing. CBBE, 3BA, 3BBB, UNP, UNPB, TBD, I almost went crazy. So according to the guide I used Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Enhancer -CBBE- with CBBE 3BA (3BBB) physics. Also i used Fair Skin Complexion. My version of game is 1.6.1170, but its SE version in steam. I use SoS light, because I still couldn't install the full version because of problems with the DLL and I don't even know if it's possible. I used body slide from starter guide, I don't think there were any himbos there but visually it looks the same.

 

Sorry, maybe I didn't formulate my thoughts exactly. I wouldn't like to complicate things and do unnecessary actions. I'll try to explain what my problem is. By a lucky chance, the first clothing mod I installed turned out to be perfect. Its DX Fetish Fashion Volume 1 SE and volume 2. I wear these outfits and they fit my body perfectly, moreover, I can change the body in the OBody for example to a fat one, and these things transform for a fat body. The problems started when I started adding other outfits, I wasn't so lucky with them. It often happens that they are not displayed or my body disappears and only the head, arms and feet are visible. These are difficult cases, I put them off. But there are such outfits that are displayed well, but it is clear that they physically change my body. For example, for the sake of experimentation, I make myself a fat body, because in such extreme examples you better understand what is happening, and I see that when I put on an outfit, I turn into a thin girl.

 

It seemed to me that in such cases I could use a body slide to correct the outfits. But I didn't succeed. I didn't really understand what result should have been in the OBody guide you gave me. That's why I don't know what to do, look for new outfits that I like and hope that they will work like my first ideal ones, or is it possible to somehow solve the problem, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Build all your outfits with zeroed slider preset as per OBody NG instructions. That's how you make all outfit fits whichever Bodyslide preset you chose.

Invisible outfits is likely you not using Bodyslide to generate the corresponding meshes, since some outfits don't come with pre-generated meshes because you're supposed to use Bodyslide anyways.

I tried but it didn't work. The problematic outfits didn't change.

Not to rub salt in the OP's wounds but I installed OBody last night after your 'heads up' and I must say I'm well impressed with it.

I use CBBE 3BA

As do I so that will help us. HIMBO is an alternative to SOS for the male body.

When you find a BS preset or an armour/clothing mod you like you have to make sure it is for CBBE 3BA. This will usually be in the mod's name. Some armour or clothing mods say both CBBE 3BA and BHUNP and you choose which one you want during the install.

BS presets will also say which body they are for in the mod's name.

The above also applies for whichever male body you use.

 

If this is the mod you mentioned

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/65998

then you have to make sure you choose only the CBBE 3BA options during the install. This is incorrect in this case. What you need to do is download the top option which has 3BA in the name.

 

Your first step will be to install several BS presets (you wont get much variety with only one or two). You will find them in this category on Nexus:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/categories/26

 

Once you have installed them have a look at them in BS to see if they are what you want. You can also alter them there and save your changes.

Gamer Poets are always a good choice too.

 

Just to be clear at this point, none of this OBody stuff alters the head so you wont get a different 'look', just a different body shape.

 

Once you feel you have your head around BS then you can proceed with installing and setting up OBody.

 

Any time you add another BS preset or armour/clothing mod you will have to build everything again in BS so OBody can use it.

Thanks, looks like it will take me a long time to absorb the new information and watch the video with the lady. Will write tomorrow about the results.

I made an edit relating to the Deserter X mod.

[mastering48]

Managed to figure something out. I learned how to save my own preset in BodySlide. Now in the game I can find my preset in the list of OBody presets. This question has been tormenting me for a long time. Thank you for showing me those videos from Mom's Gaming Channel.

The second important point is that my BodySlide Output folder was not at the bottom of the mod list, and it turns out that the outfit mods were overwriting my results. I moved it to the very bottom of the mod list. It seems like something is starting to work out. Now I at least understand that something is happening. Yes, Apachii Maid Armor started working as it should and now changes depending on the body. It's incredible.

I still have some problems. But I haven't watched all the videos yet. So I decided to share the joy of what I've achieved.

You don't have to watch them all.

 

Well done so far.

This armour mod is CBBE and from what your post say you use 3BA which are  different sliders. Try to find a 3BA bodyslide conversion for this mod and rebuild it in outfit studio.

 

Also, with o Body, your characters weight makes a different to what preset  is loaded, if the bodyslide preset you want to use is 100% weight, your character will also need to be weight 100 or it will use the lower weight slider versions

 

 

[mastering48]

Sorry, I forgot to mention this point. Yes, I installed bodyslides from here too.

I have strange problem. I installed "zzjay's Wardrobe" outfit. Batch build all clothes, but for some reason the game doesn't display clothes on the legs correctly. When I put clothes on the body, the display of the legs seems to be fixed. But individually, the legs are displayed incorrectly. I'll show you with my own example. I hope no one is embarrassed by the naked woman.

 

 

And it seems that it is not connected with this outfit, because I got the same problem in the dx fetish outfit.

I managed to fix the problem. I'm not sure what exactly was wrong but I'm sharing the instructions that helped me. I read  OBody installation guide again very carefully:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/articles/4580

Reinstalled the program, without forgetting the moment with entering the command in the game before deleting. Installed standalone OBody version 4.3. I followed the instructions and everything worked. Miracle.

You sure about that?

All the BS presets used by OBody are set to zero sliders so you shouldn't have any "100% weight" presets.

My understanding is that the NPC's esp weight dictates the weight the body preset provides.

e.g. Preset A has small breasts at 0 weight and large breasts at 100 weight. A 50 weight NPC (from the esp) will get medium breasts (or whatever size the preset has at 50w).

Yeah im sure.  If a bodyslide preset is different settings from 0%-100%.  If you want to use the 100% size, player weight has to be 100  aswell. Otherwise when it loads, for example if your player weight is .20 it will load 20% of the preset values.  if a bodyslide preset has the same settings from 0-100% character weight wont make a difference

May I ask, when I create a character and in racemenu I select his face, should I immediately set the weight to 100? or can I do it later, after I change the body type in OBody?

That depends on a few things, you can change weight through mods, or paying to rescuplt at riften or use console to re open racemenu.  If you have a preset you want to use as your base preset it would be better to make it before in bodyslide and make 0% and 100% the same values, then your player weight wont matter it will allways load the preset at 100% value.

[mastering48]

That's what I did when I created my body preset for OBody, I thought that I would hardly change the weight, and made both sides the same.

There is no reason to change the weight in RM as it has nothing to do with BS. Is it even possible to set the weight in RM?

Strange effect. after creating a new character, I undressed. And the starting body does not change from weight. Changed to another body in OBody. It also did not change from weight in the naked form. It seems that the outfits that I batched in bodyslide also also did not change. But the starting prisoner's underwear changes my body and makes it more massive. I do not understand such subtleties yet. Perhaps it is necessary to somehow separately batch standard items from Skyrim. I thought that if I do not change the weight, then all things will look normal, and for now I can postpone solving this problem and do more important ones.

Well I did a quick experiment.

Hulda is 100 weight and Amelia Rose is 40 weight. I set both to the same preset.

 

The preset in BS



 



 

Not great screenshots but Hulda's 100 weight breasts are definitely larger than Amelia Rose's 40 weights.

If OBody was installed when you started the new game then I don't see why anything would change. OBody will still be using and distributing the same presets. If you installed and set up OBody correctly then it will alter the clothing to fit the preset on the fly.
