If a mod supports CBBE and Bodyslide, is there a process where I can use it with Vanilla?

 

If this is possible could someone talk me through it?

 

Thanks.

I suppose if you can find the appropriate infrastructure (there's a UUNP body replacer that's about as close to the vanilla UNP bodies as possible *I think*) to go with it. But changing vanilla assets with vanilla capabilities? I don't think so

 

nvm....I didn't realize this was for fallout

No worries.

 

I'm assuming it would be using a Bodyslide preset that matches Vanilla but I've never messed with Bodyslide.

Yes, there is a preset in Bodyslide for the vanilla shape. You just use that instead of some other CBBE body shape.

So could I mix clothes for vanilla with clothes made for cbbe by using bodyslide in such a way?

I've honestly never tried. The problem you may run into is that to use CBBE clothes you need to install CBBE, which may overwrite your vanilla body. That won't stop you from using vanilla clothes, because those force the vanilla shape on you if they haven't been modified.

 

So, here's the way it works. When your characters put on clothing their body shape takes the shape of the clothing. It's the shape of the clothes that matter, not the shape of the body. This is why all vanilla clothing covers the entire body with the exception of the head and hands, which are separate meshes from the body. It essentially makes the character body invisible. In the end what matters is the clothing shape, not the body shape.

 

Bodyslide and Outfit Studio modify the clothing mesh to attempt to make it a different shape. In your case the "different shape" you want is the base vanilla shape, which is one of the Bodyslide presets. So if you build the clothing using that preset in-game it should be the same basic shape as the vanilla body.

Thanks.

There's a mod that adds uniforms for a medical division of the Institute, it's a NSFW mod and I don't need that in my Fallout, but it appears there is a significantly more SFW variant as a modification.

I thought alongside Subversion and Female Gen 2 mod I could RP set up a hospital division that helps Wastelanders.

I'm not going to question it but it's just working without any extra steps.

Thanks for the guidance anyway.

Whoever made it must have built the initial meshes using the Vanilla preset. That's something you have to look for: for some mods the base shape is something else, usually "Curvy", but occasionally the mod authors own personal shape. You get one of those you don't have any choice but to rebuild with BodySlide.
