After some extensive fiddling around, testing, and counting reinstalls, I think I have come up with a passable solution for the conflict between Arasaka Cyberams and Biosculpted Exotics.
Solution:- During initial installing Arasaka Cyberarm, I chose to install both "Male" and "Female" versions.
- Next, I installed the entire arm replacer for both arms. I, myself, chose the "Arasaka Kitsch - Thin Arms" for all arm options, as that gives the hands claw-like nails, allows clothing to be worn underneath them, and maintains a consistent appearance when switching between cyberarms. Do not choose to replace just the forearms. Do not choose to make the arms look "nude." You must replace the entirely of V's arms - from shoulders on down - with cybernetic replacements. Otherwise, V's biceps and/or other arm - if you chose just to install one arm (in a number of my testing) - will be invisible.
- I chose "Choose Only Left and Right Arm Skins." This is a personal preference, as I like maintaining a consistence appearance when using different cyberarms. Feel free to pick "Choose Different Skins For Every Cyberarm Type" if you wish to have a different look for which cyberarm - Mantis Blade, Launcher, Monowire, Gorilla Arm - you are currently using.
- Next, i chose "Remove Nails - Both Arms." This removes the mesh/physical appearance of the nails from the arms.
- At the "Weapon Grip" option, I chose "Keep Weapon Grip," but you may chose to remove it if you wish.
- At the "Tattoos" section, I chose "Remove from Both Arms." I do not know, or understand why I chose this, beyond it making the most sense, but I did.
- For "Texture Compatibility," chose what you currently have installed. I currently have -KS- UV Texture Framework installed nd active, so I chose that option .
- Next, I chose "Default Arms" on the " Body Compatibility" section, as there was no option for Biosculpted Exotics.
- For the "Injection Marks" section, I chose "Remove Injection Marks." I chose this, as it makes the most logical sense, when using a hypo-injector on cyber-synthetic arm.
- On the following two section, I chose "Deus Flex" but that is a personal choice, and you may chose your own.
- Next, when it came to choosing the style/look of my Mantis Blades, I chose "Claw Blades." However, you yourself do not need to choose these. The choice of the "Wolvers" was a personal choice. feel free to pick any option you desire.
- When choosing the color of my Monowire, I chose "Red Glow." As with the Mantis Blades, this was a personal choice, and your choice will most likely be different.
- I repeated the previous steps I did for Male V, when picking the options for Female V.
- During Character Creation, I chose to go with the tan-color looking nails - the very first upper-left choice in the "Nail Color" option. I found that this color causes the claws that comes with the Exotics mods to become transparent, and will not render when V uses their Mantis Blades.
- In the end, I end up creating an n Exotic V with Arasaka cyberarms that only has invisible strip on the shoulders, between where cyberarms meets V's body, that is easy concealable by clothing and certain hair styles.
