Question about CBBE and Bodyslide armors

[raikalo]

I've been using Caliente's mod for a while and can get things to work about half of the time. Instead of beating my head against a wall for much longer, I just decided to ask about the questions I have. I seem to find conflicting guides all over the place online.

 

1) Is there a full set of the vanilla armors set up for breast expansion/pregnancy? It seems like half the time I find a set of armor, vanilla or custom, people are saying that there are collision or physics issues or clipping or something that I don't really understand.

 

2) Can someone explain exactly what has to be done to a set of armor to get it set up for these things? I know models can be edited in Bodyslide and I'm going back through the tutorial now, but I really just feel like I'm in over my head. I'd like to learn how to weight armors and things for my own purposes if they don't already exist. Specifically, what are "weighted" armors, and what has to be done to change armor physics and show pregnancy belly, etc?

 

3) I've installed FNIS/Loverslab framework, HDT physics extensions, CBBE, the standalone Bodyslide 2, and SOS. Is there anything else out there that I might need?

 

4) Finally, can someone explain the difference between CBBE, CB++, TBBP, and others? Are they different mods?

I've tried to find some stuff, but it's fairly confusing when guides aren't updated, or mods aren't maintained...I just can't get straight, current information. Feel free to answer any or all of them, or link me resources, or whatever. I'd appreciate it. Thanks for the help in advance!

I can answer a couple of those questions...

The prego mods im not too sure about. I know they require meshes that support the expanding, and Im pretty sure any armor can be set up for it in Bodyslide. Same with the HDT physics. It's a bit too much for me to handle myself as well, to learn how to use Bodyslide properly, so I just use whatever is all ready available.

 

CBBE = Big Bottom Edition, CB++ is just the newer version with more support I believe. I'm pretty sure CBBE is outdated. TBBP = Tinder But and Breast Physics, same body type as CBBE and built to work with CBBE. you can simply replace the body mesh as it uses the same feet and hands.

 

I don't know what sets of armors are available all ready set up for physics. I'm pretty sure everything is done with Bodyslide and Outfit Studio (which comes with the latest Bodyslide).

 

You're going to want one of the mods that trigger the sex, if all you have is the framework. start with Matchmaker.

I think I'm going to figure out how to create new meshes myself since the ones I'm finding online aren't functional since the latest Bodyslide update. Thanks for the rest of the information
