I just read the blog entry.  Amazing!!!   I am looking forward to this being released. 

 

Edit: By the way, coding reminds me of when I use to program computers (512k with 5" on sided floppy disk).  We would always need at least 3 people on one program.  One to code the program and the other two to proof read and debug the program.  It is best with 5 (four doing debugging).  This way many errors (not all) are caught before finalizing the program.        Excellent job you are doing on this mod.  I am thoroughly impressed.

Top Drawer MOD, so damn comprehensive. Awesome Job.

 

One question, is it true that the wearable baby will only be compatible with UNPB bodies or with any body? If only UNBP, when will other bodies be supported?

 

Lastly, do we have a tentative ETA to release, i am actually refraining from starting a new game until this version is released .

[Uncle64]

The blog do look promising

Now you dont have to run around and cast spells on those who are couples

[milzschnitte]

Well, right now, the baby will only be compatible with the body type I'm using .... but please, don't ask me what body I'm using I realy dunno

Maybe it will be compatible with body slide some days, but at first it's more important to make all races

 

Release Date is asap

It was last weekend, but it was impossible to make it and something has happen.... on Thursday and Friday I don't need to go to work.... so i will continue, but Sa and Su I'm busy again with eating birthday cake

That almost depressed me because i believe you said UNPB  few posts back and i dont use a UNP body, what a blow!

 

Question, would you mind if i got some expert help to expedite compatibility with the CBBE body? Let me know. Thanks!

I have a problem where NPCs just continue doing things while their water breaks, then a message appears about them giving birth to whatever the gender of the baby may be. They don't do the animation for some reason.

Wow!!! Sounds like a perfect painless childbirth!!

 

wish that happened in RL world!! giggles.

[sophiextime]

Oh i have a question please

 

i use the UNP body.

 

Could someone give me a very simple ( as i am not very technically minded) explanation how i get my UNP player to visible show a preg belly? i see various option in the BF menu regarding how it can show. 

 

do i need any other MODs to make this happen on her? I guess also it has to be vanilla clothing too. I dont use any sliders MODS. she is literally how she came out of the box ( ie. at beginning of game i set her weight slider) and i am using the skinny UNP body.

 

It just be nice to show a growing bump. i am in 3rd trimester with a lycans ( werewolf baby) in me and not even the slightest bump. flat tummy which is odd

Open your body mesh (the femalebody_0/_1.nif file) in outfit studio or nifskope and look to see if it has a belly node. Do this by clicking on the drop-down menu and looking for "Txt NPC Belly" in the Value column. That is a bone that is required for belly scaling if you are using node scaling body and not using a weight-slider scaling body. It also needs to be present in any armour you intend to wear.

[randomtguy]

I just randomly came across this article - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-55138/Why-ovulation-makes-women-sexy.html- that states that womens' bodies change shape while they're ovulating.

 

 

The women also changed physically. Their waists shrank by about half an inch, giving them a more curvaceous and shapely silhouette, and their breasts were likely to be more symmetrical.

 

Honestly the change would probably be too subtle to notice, so it's probably not worth the effort, but have you thought about employing some scaling while ovulating? Is it possible to negatively scale the belly node?

[milzschnitte]

Nope it's not possible to scale the belly with a negative number.

And I'm sorry but i never thought about scaling the body during ovulating. There are some problems, too and it's difficulty.

In BeeingFemale I made many many things to make it compatible to most mods... so to RaceMenu.

When you open the Race Menu Dialogue, the belly will reset to normal... and when you close it, it will be scale back.

 

Then you can set a base belly size in the race menu .... The pregnancy belly size is calculted with the belly size you set in the race menu .... and so on.... There are many things I've looked for... many support for other mods,.... it's not easy to make another scaling and it's not realy worth it.

awww its okies. was just nice to have had a swelling bump as i went through the trimesters. but no problem. i adore this MOD and i wouldnt want soemone to try and then break it.

Actually his statement was towards the body adjustments due to ovulation, and being unable to apply a negative scale to belly for this purpose.

 

There are ways to have a belly show with this mod, the main two, since you said you already have UNP, are having the right skeleton (XPMSE works (Follow all instructions on this page) nearly universally if you don't have one yet (Extra note! This is only if you want HDT Physics/breast, butt, and belly movement actually, but everything I am linking can/will use it)), and the right body that includes the belly node (b3lisario's body here on the forums is a prepackaged UNP body with the node in case you aren't comfortable with adding the node to your body yourself.) After that, I'm sure actually seeing the progress without being nude all the time would be the next accomplishment, in which case you would want a vanilla armor replacer which adds the same belly node to all the basic armors. PSVAC and Killer Keo both are such packs that can fulfill this for you. Note that Killer Keo is also a skimpy pack, so there is 'less' armor with that on.

 

Pre Edit: I'll assemble the links for these in a moment.

Post Edit: Realized halfway through my links that part of the information I was giving was suited towards HDT setup, not just belly scaling. You can still follow all of this and be fine with scaling, but going the last step not listed here will enable the 'jiggle' effect in which this setup was actually designed for. You can get that last step here which will enable HDT Physics Extensions for your game. Again, make sure to read through all instructions on the pages I linked (except the body by b3lisario and the Killer Keo pack, since those are just the download links) as they do have some requirements I have not stated explicitly.

That all makes sense, it was just a random thought. I agree it's not really worth it.

The solution would be to have the base shape as the ovulation shape and increase the waistline slightly when not ovulating.

It might mean most people having to redo their BodySlide settings to make their shape slightly thinner, and I would guess the difference would be so subtle that it wouldn't really be noticeable.

OMG thank you so much. i just downloaded the PSVAC and the physics. i think also the killer Keo. i already have a UNP body and i have the XPMSE so now fingers crossed i should get a bulge? also in the BF MCM menu, what in there do i choose regarding the belly in its options for my UNP set up? x x x x

[jdods13]

The remodeled armors seems to work well with the pregnant woman just fine. My Dova dude got his Orc Girlfriend pregnant and the only issue I had was with a discolored head texture.

I believe node scaling.

Node scaling as randomtguy said is the setting you want.

 

I know you already have UNP body, but I linked b3lisario's body because the default UNP, and thus, many of its derivatives and variants, does not support a belly node for node scaling. B3lisario's I had used for many months as my go-to body as I preferred UNP, but also used Beeing Female. Of course, now I'm comfortable with applying the belly node (and HDT PE to other bones) for any armor or body shapes I desire such as the anime shoujo body recently released by crysumpom (eagerly awaiting his/her sekushii version release), so I can try out other bodies. But without a body for yourself that has that node, you wont see anything while nude. So even if you see the belly when wearing armor thanks to PSVAC and Killer Keo, you still need a body that will reflect the same scaling when the armor is off.

 

If you feel daring enough to venture out and make the change yourself, the rough guide to it is here thanks to TicTacTied. His/her instructions are a bit dated, but even with the improvements to Bodyslide 2, they are still simple, effective, and accurate. Or you can get b3lisario's body or even the body they suggest there which again have the node already 'equipped'. Regardless of which way you proceed, glad to hear I have been helpful, and hope you have an enjoyable, and very visible, pregnancy in Skyrim

NPC's belly doesn't grow when they are preg. Is this normal? or I have done something wrong?

NPC's belly doesn't grow when they are preg. Is this normal? or I have done something wrong?

 

#1. Have you installed a pregnancy enabled body? I recommended b3lisario's body in an earlier post on this page, or here if my post fell to the next page. You can also try the one mentioned here, but I'd say its personal preference since b3lisario's was the UNP one I used for so long. Most bodies also request or require an updated skeleton, XPMSE being the most universally preferred. This is also necessary if you want to try HDT PE with your new found curvy form,. Installation instructions can be found here for that.

 

#2. Have you installed pregnancy enabled armors? My earlier post also mentions PSVAC and Killer Keo for your pregnant armor needs. They replace vanilla armors, the latter with a skimpy variety, but it's a lot easier than putting that belly node in yourself for every single armor you might ever wear. Plus they have TBB already, so if you wish to have some jiggle with HDT PE, it's set up for you on that end.

 

#3. Do you have Beeing Female set to Node Scaling? Hopefully this is the easiest and only self explanatory issue that might have been the cause. I doubt this being the case though as Node Scaling is the default option unless you don't have a skeleton which supports a belly node such as the XPMSE I mentioned before. In which case, I think the other options for pregnancy belly are greyed out, only allowing "Weight" based scaling, which doesn't show for most people as they don't typically have a weight based pregnant body. Weight based meaning the low weight is the normal appearance, the high weight is the same only with the belly expanded and any other 'enhancements' due to pregnancy the creator of said body would have included. I haven't ever looked for a body like that, but I'm sure they exist somewhere out there.

 

(Kinda feel special for having post #2000 in this thread. Truly my thanks to milzschnitte for all his loving work with this mod over the past years. I can't even remember the last time I played Skyrim without some Beeing Female in it. I'll just be over here with my party cap then.)

Wait, does the actual body need a belly node? You've got me worrying I have it set up wrong - I too have been using BF for a long time, perhaps long enough that I'm still only set up for the old weight-based scaling. What I did is build a CBBE HDT body in BodySlide with pregnancybelly at 70 at the high weight, but I just loaded the body in Nifskope and it doesn't seem to have a belly node. But then BF's set to skeleton scaling and it seemed to work fine so maybe that's not a problem? The clothes weren't scaling but that was before I batch built them using the body preset, which I've done now, will that cause them to scale or do they specifically need a belly node too?

[reibushido]

I could have sworn the body also needs a belly node, as it is what I did to the anime body I mentioned before, and that gave me the scaling. Perhaps my wording is wrong, and bone weights was what I meant to say...

Yeah. My mistake on it, probably should stop posting when a bit sleep deprived.

It's bone weights that I copied from an HDT body/b3lisario's in Bodyslide to get the scaling on the body and armors. Pretty much, just replace everything I kept saying about nodes with bone weights. Except for node scaling. I know what I meant, just not what I said. Good reason why I linked to so many resources instead of claiming I knew all of it by heart.

Are you sure? Because I just rebuilt a HDT body in BodySlide and it now does have a belly node, as do the clothes I batch built. Now do I have to worry about bone weights too?

[milzschnitte]

When you use Weight Based scaling then the weihgt is scaling.

Now it depends on how you set the weight and not on a node. When you set a low weight body to look normal and a heavy weight body to look pregnant, it works too even without belly node. But without a belly node there isn't a way to looks realy pregnant. Maybe you've added the belly node via Body Slide or somthing.... dunno

When you use one of the Node Scaling options, the a body with belly node is required
