How to change custom followers body to CBBE?

[Guest]

I have had this issue for nearly every custom follower I download (except mods like Dralora of Vivec, Alynna and "bunch of npcs" mods) and it involves knowing how to change custom follower bodies to cbbe. When they come with their own custom body like some mods just as the "Nell brat" follower mod on this site in particular or the Bjinn mods for vanilla npcs (which use UNP) I can't adjust anything to them.

 

They don't get affected by my "breast and size scaling" mod either (www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/62472/). Which is one of the main reasons I want them to use CBBE as well as HDT physics.

 

Any way to make this work?

Follower mods tend to come with their own standalone resources (body meshes, textures, all that), you need to overwrite them with the CBBE files, or edit the mod in TES5Edit to make it use the default files where CBBE is installed to.

it easy

in mesh or body folder with .nif replace with your mesh charcter mesh

and in texture folder body*.dds /hand*.dds replace with you texture

Cool. Where can I find instructions or a tutorial to do this? I really wanna learn how to makes these changes.

Let me see...

it is suppouse that you install a CBBE body, right? Do you installed Bodyslide too? Useful tool to match bodies and clothes figure...

 

You just need to copy the meshes from meshes\actors\character\character assets in the CBBE folder

 

femalebody_0.nif

femalebody_1.nif

femalefeet_0.nif

femalefeet_1.nif

femalehands_0.nif

femalehands_1.nif

 

and paste them in the Follower meshes folder. You can do the same with the textures

 

I recommend you demoniac for textures and CBBE COS body for the meshes, but I prefer the UUNP body version much more

Hi what about if the meshes is in a BSA files?

 

overwrited many time but still hold his original unp body.

My exemple is from sylvanas follower.

if you use Mod Organizer , go to Archives tab and Extract the .bsa into loose files , then put the .bsa somewhere else

 

though I'm not using Sylvanas Follower , I am using Sylvanas Playable Race , basically same mesh

a problem comes up that her textures aren't compatible with the CBBE mesh and it looks bad

 

the solution is to use BodySlide but I have yet to find a detailed tutorial on how to do it exactly , all i found is people saying "use BodySlide and Outfit Studio" with no clear instructions
