Assistance for HDT, Body, Skeleton, Gear needed

Well, I finally broke the game. Looks like it's time to just do a fresh install .... again .... gah.

 

make a copy paste of your skyrim folder after installing the dlc and patchs, and you won't have to download any patch next time

 

and try mo this time, if a mod mess your game, you can easily go back to how it was before installing it

The issue was the CBBE body + Bodyslide. I still haven't found an answer as to why, but creating an HDT/TBBP compatible body using Bodyslide gives the flattened and crazy breast effect. I've gone back to UNP with the UNPBO body found on this lovely LL site and have had no issues aside from not enough armors converted that are in my taste lol.

 

I did try using MO again, but honestly, I gave up after a short time. I didn't find it difficult to understand, but I've used NMM / Manual for so long, that's what I'm comfortable with lol. Thanks to everyone who has replied to this thread. All of this helped.

 

For those who are still scouring the internet for HDT understandings, go to the first page of this thread and follow the links provided by Budroi. If you use the CBBE body, you may have better luck than myself, but if you decide to go UNP, i recommend the UNPBO body.
