BahamutsWrath666 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 They both obviously look really great however I was wondering which had better compatibility with more mods? I'm currently using Exnem but will change or not according to responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezdimona Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 HGEC is a upgrade for the original exnem body.It allows bust size choice and some different body types, fighter, full figure etc. Body mods have no effect on mods as your only replaceing meshes and textures.

Eshenaleros Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 on top of what Dezdimona said, both Exnem and HGEC have the same texture paths, so it doesn't matter what clothing you get, it can be for either one and it will still come out as intended. in short, they are both compatible with everything the other is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Indeed you need the original Exnem if you will use HGEC, unless it was incorporated in HGEC's newest versions, what I think was not. HGEC primarily is higher resolution textures to replace the ones from exnem's, yet this last is the one that have all the others files needed. PS: Here the INSTALL order is meaningful. Exnem is to be installed first, so to not overwrite the textures from HGEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacemanSpIiff Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 HGEC is basically an upgrade from exnem, IMO. The mesh work is alot better on the arms, hips, groin, and legs on the HGEC body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worm82075 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 [snip] they are both compatible with everything the other is Not quite, HGEC alters the meshes of exnems so any armor or clothing made for exnems has a potential of clipping when used with HGEC but the majority of custom items do indeed work with little to no noticeable incompatibility. You will just have to try them to see what does and doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aurasoma Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Personaly I use the HGEC set and as every ones pointed out graphics for both sets work if your running this one. I tried the Exnem mod before and found myself up loading HG mods and laffing when the clothing hung off the girls and opted to switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakansc Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I don't like normal HGEC that much personally: It makes female characters look rather weak but with big breasts (unless you go for the smaller bust versions...). The musculature on Exnem's body was better in my opinion, but I guess that comes down to style preferences. So, I guess its a good thing there is an Extra-Buff fighter version of HGEC (the normal Fighter HGEC isn't that much more muscular than Normal HGEC - I didn't really notice a difference between the two - and LightGUTS is a few factors too much for me). It just sucks that there aren't many mods tailored for that version of HGEC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
