Acro's "Softbody" mod

[Bluegunk]

Ever since Oblivion days I've tinkered with body mods and am generally content with my current 3BA set up.

 

But what on earth does Softbody offer? Other than the player female body looking slightly better when rolling around nude, and body part collisions in places you can't even see in 99% of animations.

 

It doesn't appear to apply to outfits, or to NPCs.

 

I seek enlightenment, please!

Great question and quest for enlightenment.🥰 I have been tracking this mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/152103?tab=description Mainly to see where it goes.  If there is something from Acro I missed it.  This mod seems to require quite a bit of work converting this and that in order to use it.  Also, I think you can apply it to outfits based on some of the comments on the mod page.  Just a new body type ( I think) like Bhunp, cbbe, 3ba.  

 

I agree with your comment that one of the main functions is better collisions "in places you can't even see...".  While it was tempting to have better breast collisions, I realized that alignment is rarely good enough in the animations I have to even make use of the new collision features and improve immersion.   I suppose you could spend multiple minutes during every animation to get things perfectly aligned.   Or play a Nord all the time at full size.  Although, my aroused idles could benefit as I think about it.  Not sure. 

 

Screenarchers maybe?  If I wanted high quality screenshots, I'd probably use Ostim.  As I said, I'm tracking just to see where this goes.  For me right now I will follow until I convince myself it is worth it which means following your thread.  🤣  Imagination and circumstance equals immersion for me.  Not sure the effort required with that mod can improve that.  Wishing you the best in your "quest".

Thanks for your reply, @TFor2! That's really handy. I appreciate you taking the time out to explain things. Cheers!

Is softbody the body that used to be called something like 900BBB, suggesting there was 900 breast bones instead of 3(BBB)? Anyhow, these seem similar in implementation, and while an interesting idea perhaps, my personal problem with this setup is the absolutely horrible maintenance cost this creates:

 

Lets say I want to make tits bounce a bit more, I now have to update 900x2 bones, instead of the 3x2 bones I do on 3BA. 3x2 was already too much for me, which resulted in me creating a GUI application with sliders - think BodySlide for my own CBPC preset. It would be a nightmare to do this for 1800 bones, even if it all was somehow squeezed down to 10-ish sliders (which I doubt would be practical).

 

Edit: Ok so it was more like 92BBB but you get my point...

Different authors.  https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/111325 92BBB - recently updated.  Seems to focus on body movement instead of collisions

 

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/152103?tab=files - Softbody - For those personal collision improvements.  Uhh, ok.

No, it's not Acro's mod. It's new/ still WIP. You can help expanding the outfits by converting some.
