Should i switch body types?

[ther1pper]

Using CBBE TBBP right now, and my character looks like this.

 

So i'm wondering if i could switch to Unified UNP and still get a similar but more realistic body type as well as keeping the boob and butt physics. When downloading the new bodyslide...or old as it came out a month ago, i saw Unitifed UNP HDT or HDT+ and i don't know what those do as well as if i should just use the Zero preset when using.

 

So should i switch the body type or keep what i have.

I always have and always will use CBBE. It simply has more outfits available for the body time, atm. That may change in the future... but I know how to convert my own outfits to CBBE, so it's not a huge issue.

I'm just a loyalist. I've used CBBE since I started modding Skyrim like 4 years ago.

Feel my pain. I use Dream Girl.

 

Sucks because it's a great body but rarely any conversions or anything. I tried to learn how to do it myself but all these tutorials are like an Alien Language to me. Sucks being stupid.

I was using UNPB for pretty much ever. Fine tuned it to the way I liked. Then UUNP and it's HDT/ vagina variants came out. I installed bodyslide etc and played with that to make a body I liked that worked with everything I had for my previous UNPB body. Then It was just a matter of deciding on whether or not to keep the new body or go back to the old (Y). Experiment.

I keep on using CBBE HDT (Clams of Skyrim variant) for bodyslide, as long as there's the bodyslide and I'm satisfied with what the body offers, I don't see a reason to change especially if there's more bodyslide conversion for it (for now). Even then I can probably figure out to convert myself.

 

In my opinion, switch if you feel the other body type is more to your style or there's a specific outfit you want and you're not too picky about the body. With the new bodyslide you can use CBBE or the new Unified UNP, it's optional. I haven't tested Unified UNP but I'm pretty sure you can get fairly similar results with the old sliders. Only annoyance is switching textures.

 

Otherwise, keep with what you have if you're satisfied with it!

Yes you could change to uunp but you have to know that there is almost no conversions for it. GUK has some clothing he has done that are in beta and I've seen a daedric conversion.

UUNP Body types:

UUNP HDT: I use this for armors and stuff where the vagina is not visible.

UUNP HDT+: avoid it. You don't need it. 

UUNP HDT Special: This one has the "working" vagina and comes with a vaginaHDT xml file. I use this for naked and for armors where .... well.... no panties!

 

I was pretty much a devout CBBE user because I liked how that body scaled and, to be hones, I wasn't thrilled with UNP textures.

 

I've started switching all of my MO Profiles over to UUNP. I'll probably keep a few CBBE profiles, but honestly that means I also have to keep a lot of CBBE armor/clothing sets and.... it takes up a lot of room in the left pane of MO.

 

Converting CBBE to UUNP Bodyslide is pretty easy. I've done several now and I never created bodyslide files before so... take that for what it's worth.

With UUNP being built in to BodySlide I can have any UNP shape variant I want. I have profiles with UNP, UNPB, UNPBOppai, 7Base, 7B Bombshell, 7BOppai. I can also have a UNP Body in a CBBE shape if you just like that shape better. Just use UNP textures on them. 

Speaking of textures... I like the Fairskin Complexion textures, but I actually have a bit of a mongrel with fairskin base, with some SG in there and an eyeliner file from something else. But I also have straight SG textures, MilkDrinker, etc. So this all still comes back to personal preference. 

 

EVENTUALLY...  UUNP will simplify things for me. As more armor and clothing becomes available it will simplify things even more. In the meantime I have maybe a dozen armors that I like to use, and if I find another one I like... I'll just convert it to UUNP Bodyslide. It really takes just minutes (unless it's a super complex piece or a set with a LOT of pieces). I did the Fox39 set for UUNP Bodyslide. I think that has 11 or 12 outfits within the set. That took me longer but I was still getting used to the procedure. Believe me, by the time I got to the last few outfits I was flying through them pretty quick.

 

I've also found.... and this is a subjective observation I guess... that the UNP bodies seem to align better by default in sexlab animations. I think I read that most animators use a UNP type body so that would make sense. 

 

STILL..... personal preference. And what are your expectations? And how much work do yu want to do to switch? (MO makes it easy.... NMM.... not so much). And can you wait for more and better armor and clothes (if you aren't converting them yourself)?

UUNP has the same base shape and slider set as CBBE (plus of course the UNP variants themselves as additional sliders) in Bodyslide and Outfit studio so conversions are piss easy, it has better weighting and texture UV's, UUNP Special has the built-in HDT vagina, i could go on. I say that as a former hardcore CBBE user.
