Belly Node on Custom Follower

[Nintendude1236]

I recently installed a pregnancy mod (Soul Gem Oven 3), which seems to be working fine on it's own with most npcs, but I decided that the experience would be...incomplete if I couldn't use it on some of my custom followers. Turns out only a few of them have bodies with working belly nodes, so I'm currently looking to replace their nif mesh files with some that do.

 

Trouble is...my knowledge of bodyslide 2 and outfit studio is rather inadequate. I only managed to figure out how to apply working bodies on most generic NPCs through it because of Gopher's video tutorial. So how could I use it add a belly node to said follower bodies whilst keeping the same shape/type/presets? Say for example, Sophia with UNP Topmodel TBBP from her customizer mod; where might I begin with her?

 

Thanks in advance!

If you have HDT installed with bellynode support then it's not the body nif's that need changing but the skeleton usually. Try opening up your XPMSE and taking the skeleton files in there and copy them over to your custom followers. Overwrite anything prompted (make a backup first) and then go check in game.

 

That's what I did anyway to get proper jiggles to work on the Sofia follower anyway.
