Which Bodyslide preset corresponds *closest* to the default female body on new game new install?

[anjenthedog]

As the title reads.

 

1) you install Skyrim SE 1.6x and CBBE-3BA

2) you start a new game and choose "female" with no body adjustments

 

Now, if you were to use bodyside to fit clothes etc, which preset would you choose to fit her properly?

I thought the zero slider preset is the body with no adjustments, but I might be wrong.

Zeroed sliders means the CBBE sliders have been set to 0. Not that it's the same as the vanilla body (there are 2 sliders in particular that are set to 100% in low and high to give it weight variance, a zeroed preset is 0 always).

There is a CBBE Vanilla preset from CBBE. But even that has some slight changes, close enough if you really want something vanilla like.

 

The real question would be why do you want to do that. If you're using any preset building everything to fit that preset so there's a 100% match regardless of outfit or preset used.

Not even close. I would post a comparison image but LL's file uploads are broken again.

3BAv2 comes with a slider for the vanilla body shape which looks somewhat close.

Maybe the vanilla body shape is the ideal shape. That's why BodySlide exists - if you're not happy with the shape, you can only blame yourself.

I thought so too. It's not.

I simply f-ed up. Intended to create  baseline Bodyslide for the character before applying any Racemenu preset or slider adjustments, but I forgot, and now she's level 25 and I'm tired of wearing a worn out, handme down stormcloak uniform (ffs it still stinks of that dead guy I looted really early on), and most things I want her wearing don't just fit right out the box, so to speak.

 

Thanks for the tip on the vanilla body. TBH, I'd have never thought that would be the one...  I tried curvy (since "curvy" what what I chose when installing CBBE-3BA) and a few others and got frustrated and posted.

 

 

edit: PS> Vanilla CBBE  is close. Not quite but I an live with it for now. Thanks again.
