I've used UNP so far but the last time it has been updated was in 2012,while CBBE's last update was on 3 january this year. I used CBBE before moving out to UNP because I've heard it has better effects and so it did,but what is CBBE like now?

I don't know if there is a 'Best' body mod as it all boils down to personal preference. If you ask me though, Leito's work is top notch and I have been using it since he released his first body. If you don't like realistically sized proportions though it may not be your cup of tea. It also comes with all vanilla armors converted and I haven't had trouble converting many custom armors for myself, but then again I am a bit of a purist and I try not to use too many lore unfriendly custom armors. Anyway, his work is definitely worth checking out.

To OP: just scan the forum and you will find numerous threads comparing body types and everyone of them eventually got derailed as some people always got personal about their own preference.  I strongly advise that you close this thread and go browse around first.  You might find the debate interesting in your own thread but there are so many of them a lot of people are tired of it.

 

EDIT: In my haste to avoid another muddy thread I ignore OP's need for info.   Latest developments:

 

CBBE+BS = check Nexus for latest info

 

UNP = latest development UNP unified: http://www.loverslab.com/files/file/1454-project-unified-unp/

 

Lastly, the one project might rule them all: CITRUS: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/27444-project-citrus-beta-v41/

 

Hopefully this will avoid another deja vu thread where personal preference quickly degenerates into personal affronts.

which is the best body

Anything that works with HDT Physics Extension and has at least one full set of vanilla outfit conversions (also with HDT PE of course).

 

The shape is a pure matter of taste and noone can answer that question for anyone else.

CBBE is still a very low poly body type. UNP is higher res (more polygons). And if you go to Nexus there is an updated UNP HDT-PE body there to get the bouncy bits we all love.

 

 

As for best, from an objective standpoint anyway, would be Demonica/Lady Body 3 or Blabba's Citrus Body. They are both very high polygon count bodies, but the Citrus Body is far more customizable.

For me,there is only a best body for individual character types.

 

I prefer to use what I deem appropriate body types for different types of characters such as older warrior women getting the more angular bodies,younger warrior women get more Amazonian bodies that the MCBM or UNPK bodies with Diesel Muscle Maps can provide;the frail young waif type gets the UNP Base,UNP Skinny or UNP Petite bodies while plumper,curvier bodies like the CHSBHC fit characters like Susanna the Wicked best,well,that is when I can be bothered using multi-body systems.

For followers with customizable bodies(like Sofia),I prefer to use Zaselim's Gaya Gei Body even if it can be a bit of trouble to have to manually install every component of the body for companion use only.

 

When I don't feel like using multi-body systems(usually after removing a bunch of mods following a catastrophic failure resulting from use of an unstable mod or mod configuration or I just don't want to bother with Java),I just repurpose the custom race bodies from certain follower mods such as Amame the Buxom Wench or Lofen the Stout in the Creation Kit to get the same effect as multi-body mods.
