Better Body Deformation

Better Body Deformation

View File

---

Modifies Skyrim's skinning shader to introduce a DQS blend to your specified body regions for improved mesh deformation during animations/poses or physics. It'll create more uniform meshes that'll preserve volume significantly better when bones (limbs, breasts, etc) are moved out of their resting position.

 

Modify the influence this mod has on regions of the body in SKSE Mod Menu! Just press `F1` then find `Better Deformation`. From inside that menu you can add/remove bones, and increase/decrease the skinning influence this mod applies (Compared to vanilla) to each of those body regions. The default config isn't too extensive, so be creative and mess with the menu! Stuff like the Spine 2 bone can have a big impact (Maybe positive or negative depending on your opinion)

 

Requirements

• Skyrim SE/AE (No VR support yet)
• SKSE64 and Address Library for SKSE Plugins matching your game runtime.
• SKSE Mod Menu Framework (Optional for the mod menu, highly highly recommended)

 

Installation:

• Install the mod as you would anything else
• If you use Community shaders, you MUST delete your shader cache.

 

Common Questions:

• It doesn't work - Make sure you rebuild your shader caches (For Community shaders, just delete ShaderCache folder). If that doesn't work, present your 

  %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\BetterDeformation.log file in a post

• I don't like the look! - The default config is simple. Add more bones, remove bones, tweak the influence in the SKSE mod Menu!
• Performance impact? - There may be a minor impact with many NPCs at once. The non-community shaders version is a bit heavier since it's prologue injection hack instead of native.
• Something something.. Mu joint fix - Compatible. Mu Joint Fix tries to "correct" bone placement,while BBD (this mod) changes the actual algorithm that calculates the vertex placement in the shader. So no conflicts, just personal opinions and maybe some configuration needed

 

Confirmed Compatibility:

• Should be compatible with all Community Shaders versions released within the last year
• ENB (Latest version) and Vanilla
• Skyrim SE, AE - Skyrim AE versions beyond 1.6.1170 have NOT been tested

 

Confirmed INCOMPATIBLE:

• ShaderTools.dll (Very old mod)

I don’t know if something like this already exists, but would you consider fixing foot deformation during sexual animations, where the foot wearing high heels bends backward beyond what’s anatomically correct?

[MysticDaedra]

I assume that body type doesn't matter here? Definitely downloading and testing, this is pretty huge!

asdt123123 cooked again! How does it go with Mu Joint Fix? No longer needed?

[zapho]

YES! Dear god please let this work on my setup

[Elizinator]

what is this sorcery?

[shrtjsrtj]

Thank you, this has annoyed me forever and I just assumed it was impossible/too hard to fix.

[Nova4]

wow, amazing mod thank you!

[B3juc0]

Incredible mod.

 

For people that use custom bodies (like Softbody), do you just add the extra bones in SKSE Mod menu and it just works?

[adragtobearound]

mu joint fix compatible? what about mods that rely on it?

got a crash after installing, logs have it as a likely culprit and registered among possible offendcrash-2026-10-12-00-15-17.logers. Posting here in case.

That's a dangling pointer. It crashes on BetterDeformation because BetterDeformation is the first mod to read the corrupted memory. 

 

Remove ActorLimitFix, it doesn't do anything anymore. 

I would also test remove https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/125999

Here You go and do another "Mod of the Year" contender.

 

You singlehandidly fixed some of the worst problems Skyrim ever had.

 

Going to test as soon as I get home.

[Kakabishan]

You continue to make banger after banger mods, idk how. You are a genius

 I would like to know that also ?!!

[B3juc0]

I have Mu Joint Fix and this mod (Don't seem to conflict) That said the solution from this mod is way... way better than Mu Joint Fix, so probably redundant now.

So does the mod fix this? And is it compatible with GT softbody?

@asdt123123 did it again!  always bringing our beloved game to the next lvl!

 

cant wait for you to do a mod about boobs  sucking and groping...  npc mouth/hand could be docked to the pc nipples/areolas like the penetration physics mod you did!!

(you can consider that a challenge for you! xD)

 

thank you for all the cool mods.

This is actually better!

+1

 

Is it compatible with GT Sofbody?

[_sanada_]

this would be essential mod. many animation would make the body look horrifying

 

[Keifomofutu]

So in theory, would it crash VR or might it just work (tm).

Lots of mods made for SE just happen to work in VR.

[Public_Swan]

Whoah, I have to try this! I've been noticing the neck being really weird.

[Elizinator]

this works really well immediately, but i have noticed a few bones produce very very weird results when this is applied to them. Pelvis worst of all, but everything which affects CBPC bones seems to alter how they respond to physics in unpredictable ways, such as radically magnifying the effects of gravity or rotation numbers. The worst offenders there were butt and thighs, which previously had minimal numbers, needed to be severely reduced. why this didnt happen with all bones, todd only knows.

 

i look forward to seeing how this mod develops!
