Confused with body selector

[Zugarbaby]

Hello guys!

 

I have been thinking to use Banks's male skin. Could someone who is using that help me with the installation. I am confused because there is 2 different folders in the zip. One is called bottom body base and the other one is default bottom. In the Default Bottom folder there are two options cut and uncut!  In the other folder, bottom body base there are several files. Soft Cut, Soft Uncut, erect cut and erect uncut. Do i need both default and the 2 of the files from bottom body base folder.

 

Also, the explanation about Wicked Wims body selector is very confusing to me. I know from  before that defaults usually overide. But they say that one should only have one default! And when trying to read the explanations about Default, Native and body selector! Please can someone try to explain about body selector and help me out with this different folders and installation of Banks's skin..

I think bttb7 only requires downloading the body base data. It currently works without the default.
The default replaces the existing EA nude data (or any applicable EA assignment) with the same information. Therefore, you can only use one per applicable information assignment (for example, male bottom information).
That's why the Body Selector allows you to have unique non-defaults and replace them in WW so that multiple bodies can be used for each Sim.
Strictly speaking, each of the CCs we create usually has its own unique information, so each one is non-default data.
The "native" in WW refers to the original EA nude data.
WW has its own unique genital data, and this replaces the information with the data normally used for nudes. The native version is available for those who prefer the raw feel of the material. Selecting it will allow you to use EA's blank nude data.
(Is this understanding correct?🤔)

Ok, so I can skip the default bottom that is in tha zip file then and only use the bottom body base folder then. I think I understand it better now, thanks.

Probably. I don't use BTB7 much so I've forgotten the specs though.🤣

Yes you can skip the default. Basically the DEFAULT folder, makes that body the default body that all your sims use. It overwrites the EA default body. The other folder, makes it where in order to use that body, you have to select it via WW, or another mod that lets you select which body to use.
