New character, new mods

[Spectre_15]

Due to a hard drive failure, I needed to get a new hard drive (which is why I havent been on recently).  As a result, despite my save being backed up by Steam servers, my 47 Nexus mods (including Lovers Lab mods) are lost, and my character will be corrupted if I start again.  Therefore, I am going to be making another character, and I was hoping for a few suggestions.  First off, I will be playing as a female again, probably a Nord, but I dont know for sure.  I know I want nudity mods, one for male and one for female, to allow them to fuck.  I also want pubic hair in said mods.  On top of that, I want good sexlab mods, since most of the ones I've tried didnt seem to work.  Give me some suggestions guys :3

I'd strongly suggest getting Mod Organizer for starters. This will let you keep your Skyrim directory clean, fresh and like new. This means no reinstalls will be necessary in the future. Plus it has a lot of other cool features, like being able to have multiple characters using different sets of mods.

 

There are a few things you can, or should, do before even starting to mod the game as well. Stuff that will keep Skyrim playing well and not becoming a pain in the ass. http://www.loverslab.com/topic/26468-guide-want-a-ctd-free-and-blistering-fast-skyrim-game-here-you-go/

 

For male nudes and the ability to get it on you won't find anything better than SoS. The alternatives are a joke honestly.

 

Any female body replacer has nude options and whether or not they have hair will depend on the textures you pick. Many textures have optional hair. There is even a pubic hair overlay for Race Menu available on the Nexus.

 

I am using Matchmaker, Aggressive Prostitution and Defeat for sex mods. That does seem to cover all the bases. And they work just fine. What you end up with will depend on what your tastes are I suppose.

Whats the mod organizer?

As for general mods:

Skyrim Revisited Legendary Edition has a whole ton of texture mods and quite a few gameplay enhancements (it's lengthy but worth it). It's also currently being updated.

 

It does contain some essential mods: Race Menu, ECE, ect. so I highly recommend looking through it.

 

As for Mod Organizer:

Your new best friend

 

If you haven't decided on a body mod, my personal favorite is SevenBase. It has a big conversion community including:

-Shocky

-Kplant

-Stevierage

 

It also works with all UNP armors and textures so I think it has the most going for it.

 

Speaking of textures, I go for Real Girls and as you specifically requested pubic hair, Overlays Compilation (you'll need Race Menu).

It's a mod manager that handles installing mods quite a bit differently - instead of simply copying mods' files into Skyrim's Data directory it installs them in a different folder and then links them somehow into Sykrim's Data folder. It also allows you to have mod profiles that you can switch easily between.

 

TBH, both the mod profiles and the linking thing are planned for Nexus Mod Manager, too - but it's not known yet, when they will arrive in NMM.

 

This one's the download of MO:

And here's a beginner's guide for MO:

An alternative to the Nexus Mod Manager. It works far better than NMM, it keeps your install clean, has tons of cool features and it also downloads mods straight from Nexus just like the NMM does.

RaceMenu fo sure, and the ECE extension plugins. The plugins really really enhance the customization of racemenu, closer to ECE levels without the weird face presets or the occasional bugs of normal ECE. Can also be used on Ningheim race, which is like, the cutest female presets ever.

 

I guess for nudity its just down to taste. I use UNPB which is fine cuz most of the boob models look weird to me on most body types but dat ass on UNPB.. You can try the crazier sized stuff like ZGGB or CHSBHC/CBBE which I used for a while but it got ridiculous. A newer one is 7base/sevenbase which is like UNP but with more abs and curves, also lots of outfits for it. Usually for male nudity, just get SoS or Better Males.

 

I don't really use sexlab so no help there I'm afraid.
