Swapping Standalone Follower Body/Skeleton & Adding BBP Help Pls

[Dynamese]

Heya!  So I downloaded Ria's MBWS Followers II - Shield Sisters mod(Not sure if I'm allowed to link it...) and I'm trying to get BBP to work with the actors.  I swapped the body meshes with what I found in:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mod Organizer\mods\Calientes Beautiful Bodies Edition -CBBE-\meshes\actors\character\character assets

 

their textures with:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mod Organizer\mods\Calientes Beautiful Bodies Edition -CBBE-\textures\actors\character\female

 

and their skeletons with:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mod Organizer\mods\【Skeleton】XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended\meshes\actors\character\character assets female

 

At first I forgot to swap textures, put in the wrong skeleton, and I created a monster.  Now everything's fine up to the BBP part.  What am I missing?

Any help would be awesome!  I'm looking into becoming a skyrim modder, but I'm starting with modding mods.

 

Here's the monster: http://i.gyazo.com/ab607b2bf30094604972f7a8b13d1f78.jpg

 

EDIT: I swapped the UNP bodies that came with the actors with CBBE bodies.

Here you can find some steps to correctly replace a body/skeleton (and other stuff): Follower Creation Tutorial: Download

Are they wearing non-BBP clothes? That will prevent the jiggles.

Thanks for the tutorial link CPU I'll look into that!

 

gvman3670 Their clothes are BBP, but they swap their bodymesh so with the clothes on their jellies jiggle, but in their birthday suits they're rock solid.

Probably the "birthday suit" is not HDT or BBP.

@CPU That's the part I'm trying to figure out, I replaced the skeleton_female.nif with the XPMS one and swapped the femalebody_01 and femalebody_1 meshes.  I'm guessing the two meshes I used don't feature HDT/BBP, but I have no idea where to find HDT/BBP meshes.  My player character has BBP working so could I just steal those meshes? Speaking of which where are PC bodymeshes saved?

 

EDIT: I'm swapping UNP with CBBE if that matters

Warning.

One thing is a skeleton, and one thing is a body mesh.

 

skeleton_female.nif is a skeleton 9the bones) --> just use XPMSE and don't try to put it on a specific NPC. Skeletons are not specific for a NPC.

femalebody_1.nif is a body mesh (the skin and the mussels, if you like.)

 

Actually I have no idea where player body meshes are stored. Probably in the savefile.

 

UNP or CBBE does not matter.

 

You can change the body of a NPC (with some more or less easy tricks.) That's it.

Thanks for the help CPU, I ended up just stealing the bodymeshes from another follower which had jigglers.  Look forward to my first follower mod in the future!
