Reposting all my updates here in the reverted forums so I don't lose record of the process.

I could use the help of anyone analysing the released Fallout 4 material for feature information.

So I'm pretty excited about Fallout 4. I'm making a WIP thread to encourage myself to complete this armor. This might be jumping the gun a little, but since I recently created my own body mesh for this thing I thought I might as well put it in Fallout and finally have an in-game body that suits my preferences perfectly.

It's very rough at the moment. At this stage I'm subsurface-modelling the basic forms before sculpting details. Next thing will be creating boots, and buckles on the belts.

Here are the questions I have for those of you who are closely following Fallout 4:
 

  • We can see that armor pieces are added on top of the base armor, but do we have any examples of armor pieces replacing parts of the base armor? If parts of the base armor can be replaced, that will create far more possibilities for armor piece designs.
  • Can armor pieces be used with any base armor? For example, could we attach a raider chest-piece to the vault 111 jumpsuit? If so, this will have consequences for body mod compatibility and will affect whether I create my own custom body or convert this project to someone else's.
  • Here's a tricky one: Do the character skeletons have knee/elbow/pauldron bones? If you look closely at the power armor in Fallout 3, you'll see that the knee-pad actually shrinks as the leg bends, instead of bending slightly with the leg. This is a quirk of skeleton deformation without a separate knee bone. Has anyone seen any rigid knee-pads shrinking or bending in the trailers?
  • Do we have any evidence of cloth physics?

Thanks for reading. I'd deeply appreciate any help/commentary/criticism. Any feedback is very encouraging. I'll post renders of this as it progresses, and as I create more armor pieces for it.

update FP to show current state of the WIP

 


Update: Combat Boots.

kxi8l4w.png


 


I was think that thigh-bandolier will be an over-armor piece. Instead of providing more damage resistance, it would have some interesting game-play effect. For example, an NPC wearing it would throw a lot of grenades, forcing you to scramble between cover


or shoot it off them.


 



This is very interesting to read. I have very little knowledge about .nifs, and I know that skeletons in an optimized real-time context would be different to, say, Blender, but I didn't know it would be that different. In any case, you've answered my question pretty well so thank you.

Very nice work. I wish you the best of luck, which is about all I can do. It does indeed look very good.


I love this community. Thanks so much,  It really helps.


Update: Belt detailing.

I've been trying to use parametric modelling where possible, and I'm very pleased with the results I'm getting on belts and zippers. Basically you just model a small segment, then duplicate it along a bezier curve. I'm tempted to try it with stitches on the jumpsuit but probably ought to leave that for the texturing stage.


 


Next up, sculpting the body suit.


Update: High poly details, fold sculpting.

I think this is all the highpoly modelling done. Next is retopo.

Thanks so much! Really appreciate it.


Update: Topology.

 

ZXP6rOl.png

 

I'm keeping the bandolier separate for the moment so I can place it in a texture map with other matching armor pieces. I estimate the triangle count to be a little under 10 000, about the same as my previous wip here. I will probably add more details later on, such as low poly zippers. Still, the number seems higher than I would prefer. I think that Bethesda are much better at optimising their polycount.
Next up will be UV mapping and baking.

Looking great.

 

What program(s) do you use?

 

You know, if you are finished with the armor before FO4 comes out, we'd welcome any contributions to FNV (or FO3 for that matter). default_tongue.png

 

 

All this so far has been done in Blender 2.75. I also tend to use photoshop for texturing but this time I'd like to try texturing in Blender using the node system.
As for releasing it for FO3 and FNV, I hadn't planned to but I would be stupid not to test it in-game somewhere, especially since at this rate I'll be finished well before November 10 (And who knows how long until we'll be able to import meshes. BGS has never been good at supporting that).

The main problem is that I've been building this around my own custom body mesh. FO4, FNV and Skyrim already have established, well-supported body mods and converting this project to those bodies will be a lot of extra work.

 


Update: UV maps, baking, colors!

eiCsVwb.png
 

What we see here is a simple blend of ambient occlusion, a lightmap from an overhead lamp, and blocked-out colors, as well as the normal map.

It will be cool to have a vault-boy color palette but ultimately I want to do something a bit different (I was thinking Red-Racer themed).

Next I think will be rigging. In my previous project I messed around with blenders Rigify addon, which is AMAZING. I hope I can at least use it to rig the mesh to BGS skeletons. I'll also probably have to re-proportion the mesh to match the Fallout 4 skeleton, hopefully the change won't be too dramatic.

 

  On 28/8/2015, 7:10:53, BruceWayne said:

 

 

Actually there are some tools, which would make this process (relatively) easy. Check out the Clothing converter from Gerra. Though, you'd probably still have to do minor adjustments after the conversion is done and I can't vouch for how long the process takes.

 

 

This seems like a pretty good lead to investigate. Thanks! I would prefer on the whole to release clothing models for all the most popular bodies, and this might help a lot.
 

 


Update: changed kneepads to be not-lame

 

JT6uAai.png

 

Also added matching elbow-pads, you can't really see them from this angle.

 

It's great to finally have time for this again. Coming back to it I had to squint at it really hard because those kneepads looked like crap. I don't understand how it is that I can do something like that and not realise it sucks. Maybe I needed time away from it?
In any case, changing the high-poly model this much means I need to remake the lowpoly topology, and completely redo the UV maps, baking, texturing, etc. So I think maybe I should change my methodology to just stop and wait for a while after I finish a highpoly model so I can fix it when I've gained some distance, and thereby save myself a lot of work.
So next up will be the new lowpoly topology. After that I think it'd be fun to rig and pose it, maybe give it a laser rifle prop or something.

I think it's about 2 weeks until fallout 4 comes out; I'm looking forward to finally getting answers for my original questions.

Really, really appreciate this. Keep saying nice things to modders because it's powerful motivation fuel. I should just encourage a modder every day, because having a positive community is awesome.

 

 

  On 3/9/2015, 6:04:24, Halstrom said:

Looks good though I think the rolled up sleeves don't suit the skin tight look for me, maybe roll them down and add elbow pads?
If you get really bored with your success maybe a zipped up version and if you extended the zip right down all the way maybe a fully zipped open adult version exposing the breasts, crotch and rear.
Can you make the belt a separate or separable item so we can make Pregnant versions later?
And also a damaged version might be good too default_smile.png

 

I'll make the .blend and .psd files available for download when it's complete. Should help to alter it to suit any particular tastes.

 


Update: Topology

Ntcm3xw.jpg

 

Posing it is almost pointless because I'll need to redo all the weights for the FO4 skeleton, but it does reveal weaknesses in the topology which will need to be fixed before texturing.

 

  On 30/10/2015, 1:48:19, maybenexttime said:

You're making an armor without the proper FO4 body. You may have to scale somethings to fit the FO4 body which may lead it to making it look strange in some parts. That's the only other concern I'd have.

 

 

Very true. Most likely I will have to re-proportion ratios like shoulders-hips and legs-torso, but I think my precious waist-bust should survive intact.

 

  On 5/11/2015, 4:37:13, E_Nigma said:

This makes the future for FO4 body mods look so bright, 3/NV had little choice for curvy bodies, but this is I dare say the most ideal body I have seen. I like it even more than 7B

Yeah, It would be nice if I could get in early with a body mod. If people like it perhaps it'll be supported by whatever kind of Bodyslide thing someone smarter than me creates. One shortcoming of CBBE is that the topology can't fit something like this very well.


UPDATE: Texturing

 

IfFai1g.jpg

So now it's finally getting interesting. I think it will still need a lot of dirt and wear before it'll look okay for fallout.

 

This is the low-poly model with diffuse, normal, and specular textures.

 

I think at some point I said I would release the .psd along with the mod - I apologise, I think I forgot that I wasn't going to be using photoshop for this project. This was all done inside of blender using the material node system. I was getting sick of being constrained by the layer stack in photoshop; my computer isn't the beefiest and the cost of 4096^2 layers with alpha channels adds up pretty quickly.

 

I'm pretty impressed with the results so far. Here's one thing I like: If you zoom in on the bright blue fabric you can see I was going for a kind of carbon-fiber style weave texture. That's just a tiny tiling image I made, and I can scale it or rotate it and watch it change in real-time until it looks right.

I'd say the biggest drawback I can think of is that it would be difficult for someone else to use my work as it's much more difficult to read than photoshop. I'll see if I can find a way to label or comment on the node layout so that this will actually be useful to someone. At least changing the colors will be super easy, you can just pick them directly.

 

  On 7/11/2015, 8:37:05, CPU said:

Nooooo! CBBE!

(And I hope we will have a single body type for Skyrim, but I am sure we will have a <insert any random number greater that 10 here> of them.)

 

I like the idea of a fresh slate for a new game, body-wise. So... don't be mad but I'm going to try and get this display body into FO4. As one more of many competing body mods with partial support. 

I think that the problem is that it's easiest and most common for modders to work alone on this kinda thing. I know that I'm not driven by a vision for a vast, customizable buffet of assets for everyone,  I'm driven by my own fickle and selfish creative whims.

It may be hard to tell, because this body is already heavily stylized, but you actually just caught an anatomical error that I somehow completely failed to notice. Thanks! I'll fix it up when I re-proportion everything to fit the vanilla skeleton.

Looking good. Will be nice to have something right out the gate. (Or soonish out the gate)

Ugh, I wish. last time when I did the tentacle thing for Skyrim literally more than half the work was trying to get the damn thing to work in-game. I expect that FO4 will be even more vexing.

by the way, I've to say zip mesh is realy computer burner.

Not a problem, it's all in the texture.

 

 

Thanks again everyone for the encouragement, you're the best!

 


Update: I HAVE JUST HAD AN INCREDIBLE IDEA.

I think a lot of people who want to make models for mods go into it and get turned off by how bloody complicated it all is. First there's blender, which is confusing to learn. You have to learn, at the very least, box modelling, UV mapping, rigging, and texturing in photoshop. And once you've mastered those you need to use nifscope, the CK, export scripts, obsolete versions of software...

 

Every modder who's put a thing into the game has had to go through all this, figuring it out for themselves, reinventing the wheel.

So, what if I were to create a tutorial series for a full project of getting an idea out of your head and into the game?

  • Requiring only novice skills to understand
  • Teaching the tricks I've learned to get high quality with minimal effort
  • Where all the importing, rig, texturing, everything possible is already set up in a custom .blend file
  • Where as much of the nifscope work as possible is also already prepared
  • With accompanying timelapse videos of an entire example project to follow along with

What I've discovered from using cycles is that all the texturing stuff can be made extremely simple: All the student would have to do is assign different pre-made materials to different parts of their mesh. Textures can be baked straight out of blender without any need to edit with photoshop. It can even be highly customizable, like for example I just changed all the colors of the jumpsuit in a snap:
 

sCtuNjB.jpg

 

Rigging can also be simplified a great deal if I set up a rigify rig based on the vanilla skeleton.

 

So for the tutorial, all the student would need to do is rough out an idea, subsurf-model it, make the lowpoly model, unwrap it, assign materials. The rest will just be rote following instructions for rigging, baking out textures and exporting.

Similarly a custom .nif can be made as an ideal starting point, with existing objects with shader properties already set up to match the pre-made materials in the .blend file, and exported mesh parts can just be copied over.

 

I would love to hear any thoughts on this tutorial idea. Especially if you can foresee any issues with it.

Also if anyone knows if it would be possible to have the rote stuff handled by a script, or any other way to make it as easy as possible for the student, I'd love to hear it.

 


Well this is embarrassing. I just saw my renders on my laptop screen and they're all wrong! The body and laser rifle are supposed to be so black you can only see their silhouettes. Instead You can see the untextured face and it's creepy as hell.

How soon can we expect a prototype to try? I know it must be tricky with the changes made to the files so please don't feel pressurized to rush it!

  On 15/11/2015, 5:14:27, slider said:

This project looks so promising I would love to see it setting the bar for mod quality. Can you give us a status update?

By the way, what's your intention: to make it a stand-alone item or to modify the original Lone Wanderer jumpsuit? I guess I would prefer the latter.

Here's the situation: On the blender side things are pretty much done. It's all modelled, wrapped and textured. The only thing remaining is to skin it to the FO4 skeleton and for that I'll need to be able to import models from FO4.

To the best of my knowledge, nobody has yet succeeded in getting FO4 models into blender or vice versa. Since my expertise lies solely on the blender side, this won't be in-game until someone who's figured it out explains it to me very slowly, i.e after the first model replacer mods come out. I won't be the first.

With Skyrim, the first model mods were out well in advance of the Creation Kit, so they started as replacers. As far as I understand the FO4 meshes work differently so it may take longer this time. In any case it's out of my hands for the moment.

 

  On 13/11/2015, 6:29:13, Miarc007 said:

I like the alternate jumpsuit colours, if your planning any more I'd suggest black or green (military).

  On 13/11/2015, 10:13:28, Miarc007 said:

Will it be modifiable in game? I've looked at several crafting options and the ability to improve the vanilla suit, things like insulated padding against damage, lead lining against rads, etc. It would be a really cool idea to either A) use the vanilla mods to improve your work or B) create you own unique upgrades.

 

The other thing is an idea: armour layering, got anything planned for this? if you can get the vanilla armour to stack onto your model then you can design your own to fit the style better. Again keep up the good work, I'm determined to get this as my first replacer in game.

From what I've seen so far, it seems that some outfits can't have addons. For those that do, addons are universally compatible: you can wear a raider pauldron with a vault jumpsuit for example.
What this means is that if an outfit is made with a different body type, and it allows addons, then every addon must be changed to fit it, and then every other outfit must also be changed for the addons.
So at least to begin with, the only choice (scope-control wise) is to disable addons from working with it.

 

I like that you can modify the outfit itself. I'll need to investigate that and see if it can be linked to different textures or model versions.

I really like the body type, please make this a body type mod as well when its possible <3 kudos

  On 10/11/2015, 5:51:07, Grine said:

And just a little feedback regarding the jumpsuit, since it is so skin tight do you mind doing something that it kind looks like our fair lady has some muscle on her? on the naked body we usually do this with normal mapping but since this is jumpsuit covering most of the body that wont work.

I really dont know how you would do it though, can it be done with just texturing?

I think it can't be done with textures, but the body slider has a muscular type, so if I'm being thorough then I should make a muscular version. I would like to make a body replacer to resemble this one.

@DixiePig

 

Would be amazing. I was comfortable modding in Oblivion after a while, but FO3 threw a wrench in as did Skyrim, and it just became too exhausting to get grounded in it.

 

That would also help me far beyond just from a modding standpoint. I didn't know you could customize Rigify either.

What I meant was that there would be a rig in the .blend file that matches the game skeleton, with the same bone names. IIRC using the rigify script on the rig and mesh together should skin it automatically with pretty good results. The point being that the student wouldn't have to learn how to weightpaint which is arduous and boring.
But now that I think on it, maybe copying bone weights from the nude body would be a simpler route.

Been Fairly quite lately, what's the latest news?

Not much to do now but glare at Nifscope's issue tracker on github.

 

So I've just been messing around with stuff. Thought I'd see if I could subsurf model some loose clothing:

 

Nk56NYw.png

 


Update: Nifskope

 

cqcTvma.png

So it seems that nifSkope partially supports FO4 now. Excellent.
However, my grasp of .nif files isn't great. I've spent some time with it and so far I still haven't been able to get anything into blender.

To get the jumpsuit into the game I need to reshape the mesh to match up with the vanilla neck and hands, and skin it to the vanilla skeleton. To do this, I need that vanilla body mesh.

This isn't my area of expertise so if anyone has had success in this area, I'd love some help. As it is, I may not be able to continue until someone posts some explicit instructions, but I'd rather not keep you all waiting.

Another thing: If I can get this out before the GECK, it will have to be a replacer. What vanilla outfit should I replace? I'd prefer to avoid common items like the vault jumpsuit. I've been enjoying the game a lot but taking it slow so I don't know the full range of options I have.

 

Thanks again for the encouragement, it means a lot. We're out of the honeymoon phase of this project and getting into the hard, boring part. I have some smaller testing projects I've been working on that I'd like to post about because they illustrate the methods behind the jumpsuit. I'd like to post about them in between slogging through nifSkope stuff. One question: at least one of the projects is very NSFW compared to the jumpsuit project. Would it be a breach of etiquette to post about that here?

...Right.

EOmbqQl.png

 

This was a test of the node based texturing method I'm using for the jumpsuit. It's a little rough, I feel like it could be improved in a few ways but I'm not sure how. I'd really appreciate any criticism.
Here are some interesting things about this:

  • No UV mapping.
  • The tentacles look pretty detailed but they're just simple bezier curves with procedural textures.
  • The nipples and wet areas on the skin are textures projected onto the body. Their position/orientation/scale are controlled by empty objects in world space, making it highly customizeable.
  • Normal details can go a long way when you can edit them with real-time feedback.
  • UV distortion and seams are no longer a problem when you can just project texture details
  • All these details can be baked into game-ready textures once the body is UV mapped.

This method will probably feature heavily in the Tutorial project. I haven't even started that though, so if in the meantime anyone would like explicit guidance on how to do this feel free to ask. Also, if anyone would like to study the .blend file I'd be happy to provide it.

Call me crazy but that suit looks really close to the suit Vault meat uses

I was first pointed to Shadman's work when I put this project up on reddit. They do look similar! I'm not much of a designer, so I just made a generic skin-tight jumpsuit without any creative spin on it. Maybe next I should make that hair and makeup so we can have her in-game for real.

I know your worried about how to implement it into the game with its ESP, but don't get absorbed in like panic mode there if your having a tough time with that part its not as big a deal as say actually being able to make unique mesh that works in the game.

That's a bridge I'll cross when I get to it. At the moment I'm concerned with getting the mesh game-ready, which means it needs to be weight painted and matched to the vanilla proportions. For this I need a weighted vanilla body mesh in blender.

I got in touch with Caliente about this, it seems that she has had only partial success in this area. She very graciously provided me with a .obj of the vanilla body. .obj doesn't contain any bone weights so it's not sufficient for getting this in-game, but it does allow me to begin re-proportioning my mesh.
So far, I've realized that the body I've made has a really tiny neck which makes the vanilla neck look beefy. It also means that the collar will have to be the most distorted area.

Any chance you could make the UV Maps compatible with standard Fallout 4 Textures for the Vault Suit?

Wouldd be awesome if I could just apply any texture mod I wanted ...

I suspect that trrying to project this mesh onto the vanilla suit UV space in such a way that there were no major distortions would be all but impossible. Further, the design details of this one and the vault suit are just different; there's no corresponding texture.

I could be wrong about this, and the blend file will be avaliable to anyone who would like to try. As it is though, trying to fit my UV map over bethesda's is a constraint too restricting to work with at this stage. Perhaps, if I had thought of it before designing this, it could have worked.

 

However, retextuing this suit should be very easy to anyone with the blend file.

Have you seen Caliente posts? sounds like that body replacer will soon be in game - beta version.

http://www2.loverslab.com/topic/54593-caliente-announced/

Maybe they might know some of the more common bug problems that you will encounter and how to fix them, can't hurt asking.

 

Now that CBBE is going to be so high in polygon count and have BodySlide with it early on compared to skyrim, I hope we can finally just have one body that ALL clothing and armor mods are compatible with. With Bodyslide, we can literally all have any shapes and sizes we want. And since it'll be much higher quality that UNP and CBBE from skyrim, there's no need to debate anything. Right now UNP is the better choice for Skyrim because it's fully compatible with BodySlide now, but peopel refuse to move on to it because they're still stuck in the mindset that CBBE lets you make any chape you want even though UNP is higher quality and has almost twice as many shape adjusting that are impossible with CBBE in Skyrim

 

 

So I'm just hoping we can finally have everything just work with bodyslide so everyone can their "muh immersion!!" bodies, their "muh giant tits!" bodies and "muh fat fetish!" bodies and such and have every piece of clothing, skimpy clothing overhaul, and new armor mods all work seamlessly. But then there are so many people who choose to believe using bodyslide is impossible even though they havent even downloaded it.

But then there are so many people who choose to believe using bodyslide is impossible even though they havent even downloaded it.

 

 

I think gamers and mod users often make judgements using too-simple technical values, e.g "bigger numbers are better and more immersive". For example, treating a 4K texture as better because it's twice the resolution, even though it violates the gestalt of the games art direction with simple mistakes like a dissonant color palette.

So believe me when I tell you that there's more to adapting diverse body types than higher polycount. Diverse bodies require diverse topologies. If you want to get around that problem by throwing more triangles at it, I hope you like eating your GPUs well-done.

For example, this body I've been using has very prominent hip bones and leg tendons. I would have to subdivide the Skyrim CBBE several times before I could get close to expressing those details using that topology.

 

I think CBBE could certainly manage it though with custom normal maps. If you could blend between body-type normal maps as well as shape keys/morph targets then that would allow us to create a LOT of nuance where muscles, bones, tendons, nipples, pores, etc are concerned, even working with the limited topology.

You would have to create a different body sculpt for every slider, so that's a lot of work. I think it would produce good results. But I'm not sure that Bethesda's engine would accommodate it.

 

Sorry, got off topic. Am I making sense? Point is, CBBE isn't a catch-all.

Another Vault Meat fan here just saying I can't wait for this to come out. I'd love it if you at some point made a vault meat variant of this.

 

Something like http://www.shadbase.com/comic_folder/2015-11-03-fallout4-vault-meat.jpg

 

Now that someone has made a vault meat save/character this would just be amazing.

 

YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Sorry... for caps, but WOW, you are completely right and this is now my most favorite armor yet.

 

You HAVE to have this mod... I've been teased forever on the nexus with showings of the vault meat character and then the picture of her unzipping her armor/suit in the game I just... *drool*  *drool*

 

Seriously can't wait for something of such powerful magnitude of a mod.   Just whoa.

 

I mean I really love the new vault suit textures, but I'd throw those out if I could just have this one because then I'd actually have a reason to use the new mod I have which is the "More armor slots" mod.

 

I'd actually be able to have that armor and if I want to use just the suit version and add my own armor pieces to it for more protection or just use the other armored varients you add.

 

In general this is just gonna be the 1 mod I just have to have, ESPECIALLY if you can get it to actually unzip for an animation later on when modding becomes easier.

 

Very huge fan of Vault Meat and just cannot wait till the modder for this perfects it so.  (..... not to mention AFTER you are able to get it to unzip when we get the animation modding possible we can finally get it to be the first vault suit to be able to fully take off and strip. *woot*)

It would be fun to "UN"-Zip but I would hate to be the one to Zip it up (female version of "Something about Mary") LOL

Lets get it in the game first.

 

But I do agree, Being able to manipulate the suit in game would be brilliant. Instead of stripping the character in game you could just unzip the openings you need.

I tried a top simalar to this for skyrim but I'm not good with weight painting and could not for the life of me get the bottom of the blouse not to stretch and attach itself to any and all parts of the body :( . would like to have been able to give the lower part of the blouse just a bit of physics so it would bounce along with the breasts. aw well, would like to see all of these outfits in Fallout 4 at some point, this one being my personal fav :)

Really excellent work!

 

 

To get the jumpsuit into the game I need to reshape the mesh to match up with the vanilla neck and hands, and skin it to the vanilla skeleton. To do this, I need that vanilla body mesh.

This isn't my area of expertise so if anyone has had success in this area, I'd love some help. As it is, I may not be able to continue until someone posts some explicit instructions, but I'd rather not keep you all waiting.

You can get the .obj in nifskope -> file menu -> export, I imported it in blender, if I have understood what you need.

 

Another thing: If I can get this out before the GECK, it will have to be a replacer. What vanilla outfit should I replace? I'd prefer to avoid common items like the vault jumpsuit. I've been enjoying the game a lot but taking it slow so I don't know the full range of options I have.

You do not really need a replacer, I added new armors to the game, and a pair of wearable boots. I'm not an expert, but I can help you with that if you need.

But if you need a replacer at all costs, vaultsuit 111 dirty is the obvious one, you get it from the start (if you want a esp based mod) and leave untouched all the other jumpsuits.

If you do not want an esp based mod, you can simply replace the some other underarmor mesh and all will change, but if you do not keep the same uv map, you'll have to retexture with the new uv maps all the underarmor varations textures. I do not thin this is a good option.

Maybe all I've said is obvious

 

 

Thanks again for the encouragement, it means a lot. We're out of the honeymoon phase of this project and getting into the hard, boring part. I have some smaller testing projects I've been working on that I'd like to post about because they illustrate the methods behind the jumpsuit. I'd like to post about them in between slogging through nifSkope stuff. One question: at least one of the projects is very NSFW compared to the jumpsuit project. Would it be a breach of etiquette to post about that here?

I hope not, keep the good work  :)

All the non-replacers I've seen on Nexus so far require console commands to add them to the player's inventory. I don't know if that's the only way at the moment, or just the easiest, but for the time being I only download replacers because I want to see things in-world even if I'm not using them myself.

 

As for this jumpsuit, here's my outside-the-box wish: Make a chrome, black and (red?) trimmed version and replace the female Silver Shroud outfit... It's superheroine enough to work.

 

[Edit] Or Zeke's Jacket outfit (Atom Cats). It's a nice easy unique to aquire, and the default one looks ridiculous on female PC's in my opinion, so a black leather and fire (red > orange > yellow) version of the jumpsuit would be great.

If you want see the jumpsuit in game I would replace the BOS underwear with a red/orange version so you can see on them

silvershroud is a good choice only if you DO NOT want to see it around, a cool black version could be perfect

 

I would replace also vaultsuit 111 dirty, unique, so you have one  for your follower.

Have you put those up online somewhere? I've been looking for a boot mod.

they are part of the Nude Armor Replacer framework on nexus, requires console commands to get the standalone version to wear with the invisible vaultsuits, or are included in the enemy nude armors.

Does it replace body meshes when equipped? Part of the reason I've been looking for it is because of Caliente's alpha that she just put out. I also just like my wasteland women wandering in nothing but boots :3

 

edit: tried to find it on Nexus, seems to have been taken down?

That's because the guy that put it up didn't have permission. As it was the Alpha release she asked that no one upload it anywhere else.

 

http://www.loverslab.com/topic/54593-caliente-announced/page-7

 

you can find the alpha on this page.

 

 

I'm discussing a completely different thing. I was talking about the Nude Armor Replacer mod in order to get an armor that's just boots. This has nothing to do with Caliente's loverslab alpha release.

I believe the guy added the CBBE stuff into his existing mod which had what you're looking for.

Man. Why'd he go and do that? :(
