3bbb CBBE 3BBB or TWB 3BBB

[Wakerini]

Can someone tell me what is the real difference between using CBBE or TWB with the 3BBB physics? I obviously know that one has more sliders to control more about the look of the body, but to be honest, I just want my character to have nice clothes, use the bodygen function and be as compatible as possible to avoid any mental breakdowns. So, do I just discard completely the TWB body or there is another reason for anyone to use it, also if I just use the 3BBB for CBBE only do I need to convert the clothes to work with 3BBB?. Sorry if it sounds stupid to ask but I just needed to know. Any answer is welcomed.

Haven't use TWB, but looks like that it's the same CBBE body with muscle/etc sliders. 

CBBE or Fusion girl with physics. CBBE by default have more clothes than CBBE (3BBB) or Fusion girl. Yes, there are a lot of conversions for both bodies, but still there are lot of outfits only for CBBE body.

Yeah, that I know. CBBE is more know than the other body types and more easy to make clothes as far my knowledge go.

I kinda like Fusion Girl, but the problem is that most of the clothes are still not converted for it, and yes, while there is people doing those converts (and there are guides on how to do it), as last as I checked, it is needed some mods to make it fully compatible with functions like BodyGen, and it is needed install mods to resolve these things.

Still, I thank you for taking your time to help me with this.

So yeah, adjusting my question... Does the only real difference between CBBE with 3BBB and TWB with 3BBB is just the amount of sliders? There is no other benefits? Also, judging by @deff. message, it is needed to convert the clothes of CBBE to work with 3BBB, isn't it? So, could someone recommend a mod with those clothes already converted, or at least give me a guide on how to do it on my own? Any other suggestion I will hear it, maybe after a long time, but still I will check it

At this point there may not be that much difference between the two body types. The TWB body is comparably much newer though in comparison than the CBBE body in the grand scheme of things. Because of this, it used to be that there wouldn't be as much clothing support for the TWB and also mod support. Even now I think there are still several of the older AAF mods that don't work nicely with the TWB. Although perhaps they have been updated or patched now to work. I think the Family Planning mod that deals with pregnancy did not work with TWB but now it does. 

 

TLDR: If you're worried about mod support, check the mods (AAF mods like Family Planning) to see if they support TWB. If you're not that interested in the AAF mod support and just want to roll with a custom body with custom clothing standalones/replacers, then there really isn't any appreciable difference between CBBE and TWB other than the fact that you can get some really muscular builds, like comically extreme, with the TWB.

For comparison - TWB clothes conversions - here under requirements. These are mods that requiring TWB.

Same with 3BBB Physics for CBBE. Check under Requirements and you will find clothing conversions which requires 3BBB physics.

 

About conversions in basic. It depends from how many clothes pack/outfits do you want? For me it's enough with Vtaw, replacers and few more. I mean it will become messy when you will have ton with outfits...

 

If you will use AAF mods, then I suggest Fusion girl. No problems with mods, you can do conversions by yourself with pretty easy guide step by step...

Thanks for the information. Yeah I really don't plan to use AAF at the moment, just wanted the body replacer. Also, I will choose CBBE 3BBB in the end. Already double checked and I founded some guides on how to convert the clothes, so I think I can manage to do it. I thank you both for taking the time to answer my random question, maybe it was already common knowledge but I really didn't know a thing and I just downloaded what other people said it was better without considering anything else. If anyone else have any other recommendations, please let me know.
