Underclothes as a skin Texture CBBE

[clockworkmurderer]

The title basically sums it up. I've been beating my head against a wall for hours trying to find something like this. Oddly enough I have specific desire for HDT bodyslide armor, but I hate seeing exposed skin when in a cold environment. The ideal solution for me would be to have skin textures that are essentially underclothes. Picture like full body pajamas almost and you have the idea. My texturing abilities are quite limited, and I sincerely doubt I'd be able to create this for myself. I'd like to think it exists somewhere out there, but I really have no idea. Anyone out there know of such a thing?

The "simple" thing to do is find some textures that you like and redirect the mesh towards them.  An example would be a chain mail texture, or a ribbed texture for a sweater.  There are lots of mods out there that have similar things and it isn't at all hard to redirect textures for a nif file.

 

Are their mods out there that do this.......no.  

 

You'd need to abandon what you have and find a non-skimpy replacer armor/clothing mod instead.

A Racemenu plugin exactly as you describe did exist at one point. It was called Modesty Chainmail and Undergarments. Unfortunately it's been hidden indefinitely and there's no guarantee the mod author will ever actually rerelease an updated version.

 

I did manage to save a copy of it myself and it does precisely what it claims to do, but as I use UNP I only saved the UNP-optimized textures.

 

Regardless, I can share if there's interest.

@Ches I actually saw that mod and "was disappoint" to see that the mod was hidden. I would definitely like to try it if you can upload it. 

 

@gregathit Since posting I managed to use bodyslide, nifskope, and the CK to force several armor parts to work together and the result is decent. I think the best bet would be to set an armor like the shiny rubber catsuit to a slot not used by any of the parts I've already fixed and try that. I'll be back to say how it goes

Actually, it turns out I do have both the CBBE and UNP optimized textures.

 

Minor disclaimer -- I haven't tested it with the latest version of Racemenu yet, so I can't confirm that it works at all. Let us know what you find in your own game.

I think the mashup has come out pretty well. I didn't make any of these pieces, though I did retexture them myself. I also worked in Bodyslide to minimize clipping while still maintaining the HDT armor advantage. If you want to try it out, it's parts from a mod called The Lily, and West Wind Assault armor, both CBBE bodyslide conversions. Plus the engraved shoulder cape from bosmer armor pack. Finally, the weapons are BSW Mehrune's Razor, Dwarven Black War Axe of Fate from Dwarven Weapons of Fate, and Aemer's Family Sword replacer. 

 

I haven't yet used the mod you uploaded, but thanks for providing it. I'll give it a go when I get around to it, maybe this weekend still. 

 

EDIT: Oh, and XPMS and Racemenu for the weapon positioning (so awesome)

Just a quick idea: why not use the texture blender tool? For example, take a file that is supposed to be blended over the nipples, change it from its texture to a snip-out from another piece of modded armor, copy it over. Especially for the nipple and areola, that should be quite easy. You would have to find the suiting textures first, of course. No idea, what you are looking for in detail, but it shouldn't be to hard to find some sort of optics, blend it over and be done with it.

 

From my noobish point of view, of course.
