Help with pregnant body replacement mods! (Semi-Broken)

[StrifeRaZoR]

Heyo!  Bit of an issue here.  It's not game breaking or anything, but it is causing me quite a few headaches since I'm usually pretty competent when it comes to modding Skyrim (I've been playing since release and I've never used a mod manager!  My elite organizational skills has provided me with a huge clusterfuck of folders that only I can navigate).

 

So, here are the body textures/replacers that I'm using:

• CBBE 3.3
• CHSBHC 2.3 (readme says 2.4, but the actual file is 2.3, go figure)
• HDT Bodyslide and HDT Physics
• XPMS Skeleton (I've tried multiple versions with no success, so I'm going to rule out any skeleton alterations)
• PSB 2.0.7 (The actual pregnant body mod that's suggested by many other mods around here)

Now, here's the issue:  If I install everything the way that I'm assuming is correct, then a couple things happen.  There is a very noticeable gap in the female nude model right near the upper thigh.  The only way I can remove it is to alter what order I install all of these mods.  If I alter it, then the gap is removed, but there are no changes to the female belly that is required by some mods.  If I alter it in a slightly different way, then the gap is removed, body physics work correctly, but animations are skewed at the stomach quite heavily, meaning that the model's stomach is stretched and contorted like something out of a freak show (Note that this is only during SexLab animations, not regular vanilla animations).

 

A few things that I've tried:  Complete Skyrim re-install (I keep a vanilla copy stored on a separate partition, so I can wipe the files quite easily).  Script cleaner, save cleaners, etc.  I'm running out of ideas here.  Anyone mind providing some insight as to how I'm supposed to get CHSBHC (body physics), CBBE body textures, HDT Bodyslide, and PSB (pregnancy/belly inflation) working together without my brain exploding?  Greatly appreciated!

 

PS.  Other mods are working fantastically, and I have no issues with animations.  This is just a request for a proper install method for pregnant body mods.

Quick question did you install any of this with any mod manager or did you install this just by putting it in the data folder or did you put it in the Main skyrim folder. Curious. Yeah mod organizer would proably be best down the line though if your new to modding I do not know the best thing would be to use NMM nexus mod manger learn it and with it LOOT. TES 5 Edit.

 

Finallly WyreBash for bash patch and then FNIS "FORES NEW IDLES" last is the patches made the the patches and then the graphic patches that really help on cutting down crashes the others are for bugs. STEP project has all of this on their site for info and then. For mod organizer videos on youtube Gopher and then the offical STEP Project videos gopher has a link to the channel in his fist mod video on Mod organizer. All of these can be found on the youtube pages i said Gopher especially a few other youtube channels i would suggest is Brodual and the ones on gophers sub or contact list pretty much all of them.

 

On the side note one channel i will mention but well you know do not watch on occassion is MMOxreview. But that will be noted in seeing his videos though he is alright to me on a personal level. Enbs and skse are pretty much essential as well. Last thing i forget putting it now is SKY UI for mod config menu if you do not like the interface there is a mod called SKY UI AWAY though some mods will not work with a controller anyway.

First of: Use a Mod Manager. Best use Mod Organizer as you keep the Skyrim folder completely clean (except SKSE/ENB). AND you can still do manual work VERY EASY.

(I love my clusterfuck of folders too, but installing is a different thing.)

 

The problem could be because the mods are overwriting the others. PSB body is overwriting HDT body which is overwriting CBBE. May mix bodyparts.

HDT Bodyslide is lost because of that.

 

My aproach would be:

 - HDT Physics

 - CBBE

 - Bodyslide (maybe Bodyslide 2 works too??)

 - PSB

 - CBBE Textures of your choice

 - XMPS (don't know if XPMSE works)

 --> generate the PSB body

 

As you use HDT Physics you don't need animation based fake physics (CHSBHC).

Just tried that install order and everything works fine except I get the weird animation glitch where the stomach is skewed heavily.  I wish I could figure out exactly what is causing this so I could isolate it and just attempt to fix it.  Maybe I'm not generating the PSB body correctly in BodySlide 2.  I just select the PSB body from the drop down, ensure the sliders are correct, then hit the Build button.  It's definitely working, as the belly works properly, but after building the body any animation completely breaks it.  

 

Edit Addition:  Okay, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and try something.  Is it possible for me to switch to another body replacer, such as UNP?  I've used CBBE since forever, and I was wondering if changing body type mods would have any effect on this.  I'm going to try it and pray that nothing explodes.
