Looking to remove Bikini Armor

[FullTimePatriot]

So I'm very fond of the improved bodies CBBE has to offer, however when I started a new game the woman in charge of the execution had GIANT (not as in the absurd modded view of giant, just really big for most women) breast armor and a loin cloth. This is not practical as far as armor goes, much less for the weather conditions for the game. I was going to mod out these armors myself, but I don't know how to identify them and remove them so I'm looking for some help here.

Afaik it's not the armor it's the stock NPC bod, which generally is a clone of the players bod (at least when the player is a female character)

 

I could be wrong, but my NPCs all seem to have my female player's body. Haven't played the male character in a while ( really prefer watching her "reverse view" waggle side-to-side rather than his while in 3rd person :rolleyes: , so I'm not sure on his vector.

 

 

However... I think you can fit NPC armor from within Bodyslide.

It's possible it might be The Book of UUNP Volumes 1 2 and 3 - UNP - Sevenbase - UNPB and not CBBE. I think that's where I got most of my female armors. Though I did download the "no skimpy" patch. Perhaps we have different Ideas of "skimpy" and "bikini" I'm going to try to open up the mod in the creation kit and see if I can see anything. (hopefully it won't be too overwhelming :P)

well, you know what Enoch the elder says: "One man's bare ankle is another man's string bikini" :D

 

 

not sure about the book of UUNP though... are you running unp based characters?

 

I have one or two UNP-ish armor/clothing mods installed, and while I can don them on my 3BBB player, they replace her body with a static UNP(ish) result. Some of my follower wont' even use them now that I've updated them to BHUNP or 3BBB Advanced. (they used to)

there is a patch that makes it work with CBBE, I was trying to find some armors for the gals to wear. I wouldn't know the difference between unp and cbbe to be honest. I just didn't like the stark contrast between the men in my game and the women. After spending these last 30 minutes in creation kit i'm done with that I'm way too confused in that tool. Many years ago I made a simple mod, but doubt I could do that much any more.

On that note I found another non-skimpy patch for the armors going to try and use that.

Non-Skimpy Book of UUNP Patch

 

An update. So far that patch appears to have corrected the problem. Wahoo.

In addition, check the mod categories. there are ton reasonable number of some more modest clothing and armor choices there

Thank you I appreciate the suggestion. Unfortunately/fortunately I'm up to 254 active plugins. I worry about adding too many more.

Understood.

 

You're aware that many plugins can be converted to "light"? (removes them from the active count)?

 

If so, ignore.

 

If not, and if you happen to use vortex, give a look to your plugins tab. If you look to the right side, you'll see some leaf shaped icons (in the "flags" column). Any that are simply outlines (not solidly colored) can be changed to "light" mode.

 

what does that do? It allows you an additional slot for each you convert, ie it reduces your active count.

 

I have read that MO2 also allows it, but I don't use so I don't know how.

 

Anyway, if you haven't done so yet, and you use vortex (or if you dig a little and find out how it's done in MO2) choose one that's not a big deal. try it. You may find a happy surprise and then gain confidence to slowly convert more. I just started the other day (I like to play a little between these changes) , but I've already recovered ten slots. And yes, I was at limit before as well. I have another ~50 I can convert.

 

 

fwiw
