Guide for a newbie

[lolekz]

This is my first post on this forum, so hi everybody.

 

I just install Skyrim on my HDD, download Bodyslider and now im extracting mesh file with fallout mod manager. The thing is, i dont know what exactly i need to do. Is there any good tutorial for this? I've tried to find something, but there are so many mods and i'm completely lost. What do i need to made a nude characters? And then how can I play as them?

When you say fallout mod manager I hope you mean nexus lol. Also to get started on nude characters for your skyrim i would reccomend CBBE if you havent gotten it already. Once you do making a nude character should be easy as opening bodyslide and making a nude body of your own tastes, it should automatically appear in skyrim when u remove your clothing. The sheer amount of mods is intimidating at first but just make sure that you read everything carefully and you should be perfectly fine! Happy modding!

Hello, thanks for reply. Just downloaded a NMM and CBBE. I will try it out!

 

EDIT: So, everything is downloaded and installed, what should i do now? NMM says that i've got CBBE installed, but when i run skyrim everything is normal.

You probably installed it via, manual install meaning you took the files and pasted them into your skyrim files nexus will ask if you want to overwrite them, that's OK, also i recoomend to make a new game but that's just me!

You will want to locate your body slide .exe program, it should be in skyrim/data/calientetools/bodyslide

Before you get TOO involved with modding, I HIGHLY suggest switching over to Mod Organizer for mod installations.

You'll thanks yourself in the future:http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1334/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D1334&pUp=1

But where i can find female bodies to edit? I've read that i can find them in mesh folder, but mine its empty, so i extracted Skyrim - Mesh with Fallout Mod Manager.

Forget Fallout Mod Manager. Wrong tool for the job.

 

Get Mod Organizer installed and be sure your Skyrim directory is fresh and clean. Then go to this thread...

...and follow the directions there (although the CK part is really optional). You want to build a stable game from an inherently unstable platform (vanilla Skyrim) and this is how you do it. And you want to do this BEFORE adding any mods at all.

 

When you're done with those steps you'll be ready to install a nude body. Don't waste time on that yet, though. Trust me, either build it stable now or uninstall then reinstall several times before figuring it out later and losing a lot of play time.
