dat big belly

TeeHee!

What mods are you using to achieve this character? Also can you provide links please?

Modded body in bodyslide. You can't get it anywhere... yet. Might put it up sometime though

It wold be awesome if you put it up for download

lol maybe but I need to perfect it still. and installation would be horrible considering the extra mods I edited to get it to look like this.

you need SOS so you can take the edited femalebody.nif made in bodyslide and save it as malebody.nif1 when you export it back to your folder. then you need to go in game and go to the character creation screen through the console using racemenu, xpmse + extended, and extra body sliders from another mod. once there, you need to edit the body using all the sliders, but keep in mind, they dont cooperate together because theyre conflicting, so you need to first edit the body using the sliders from xpmse and racemenu, found in the body scales section. then you need to go back to the body section and edit the sliders there. the body will change weirdly when you do this, giving the final product. step 1 is done.

next if you want the same skin textures i have, youre going to need to take the head textures from drachis and replace everything else with textures from a FEMALE ONLY mod. you need to individually match and replace the rest of the body textures with the ones from this mod. i think the body itself will be done after that.

now onto the clothing and armor. the one you see in this picture specifically is the female version of the gildhorn armour in the terra pack. I had to do the same thing i did with the body .nifs where I would edit the female armour and extract it to and replace the male version. now this wouldnt be too bad but the trouble with armors is they dont just copy the base body weight. you have to take your malebody.nif and use it as a reference while you sculpt the body layer attached to the armour. And you need to get it as close as a replica as possible because the sliders you edited in game are based off of the malebody.nif... so you naked. If you dont get this armors body close, once you load it in game, its going to look like you instantly lost or gained weight whenever you take off your armour. and after you get the body as well copied as you can, now you have to edit the armour itself (which is probably the hardest part). The armour obviously isnt supposed to be expanded like you would want it too. the mesh doesnt have enough vertices for what you want to do. thats gonna pose a problem so youll have to hide parts of the armor, such as the belly part like i did because it looked like a giant, spiky mess when i tried to stuff that stomach in it. so instead of keeping in like that, I pushed it back to hide inside of the body.

So yeah armours a bitch but if you can find one on the nexus or whatever that has parts, like pants, capes, shoulders, etc that are worn directly on your naked body, that takes away half the battle. such as POTW where I just use the pants, boots and belt and let the rest all hang out

so that is why i dont really post bodies. I did one already but its just that the process that you need to go through is so much, I dont want to put anyone through that. Like you would need to install over 15 mods just to get this result.

its easier for all of you if you just do it yourself since i suck at explaining things. And if you try it out for yourself, youll get that practice and eventually youll be able to make some awesome shit.


Sorry if thats not really what you wanted to hear but its what I think is best. If you want something more detailed explanation wise, i might post some instructions in a journal or something
