There are two ways you can go.

 

In the first all male NPCs will be bulky nude body type. In the second only your male character will be bulky nude body type.

 

The explanations on how to do either are rather lengthy, so let me know which way you prefer.

 

- Edit - I should add some additional details regarding some differences between the two methods.

 

The first option (all males having the bulky nude body) does not require anything other than Robert Male ... it is just a matter of copying and renaming some files.

 

The second option will require two further utilities for the game, Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) and Blockhead. OBSE is a common requirement for quite a few mods so you may already have it installed and working. Blockhead is primarily used for Oblivion Character Overhaul v 2 but it can do much more than most people realise (such as per NPC body assignments).

i wouldn't mind if npc and my character would be bulky nude body type

OK that's the simpler way to go as well.

 

A couple of bits of info on what you have installed right now. Which download did you download ... MaleBodyReplacerV52 (the download at the top of the list on the Files tab) or Robert Male Body Replacer V52 BAIN (the third one down from the top). Makes a difference on the exact folder names for my step by step instructions.

i downloaded the first one

OK, in the extracted download find the folder Data\meshes\characters\RT\bodytypes\Bulky\Nude and copy the files Foot.nif, hand.nif, lowerbody.nif and upperbody nif and then paste those files into your game install's Data\Meshes\Characters\_male folder. You shouild get a notice about replacing the already existing files ... answer Yes to replace all four files.

 

If you would prefer a circumcised lower body then instead of copying and pasting lowerbody.nif from the RT\bodytypes\Bulky\Nude folder you will instead copy lowerbodyCircumcised.nif and paste that one into the game's Data\Meshes\Characters\_male folder (and in that case you will not get an overwrite file warning from Windows). The last step for circumcised is to rename lowerbodyCircumcised.nif in your game's Data\Meshes\Characters\_male folder to lowerbody.nif (so just remove the Circumcised part of the file name). I usually find it simplest to delete the original lowerbody.nif before you do the renaming so you don't need to figure out which file is which when Windows appends a (1) or (2) to the end of one of the file names because it doesn't offer to replace the old file with the newly renamed one.

[Striker879]

I should add for completeness the two files in the RT\bodytypes\Bulky\Nude for the beast races (tail.nif and khajiittail.nif) should also be copy/pasted to their respective folders in the game. Tail.nif goes to your game's Data\Meshes\Characters\argonian\male folder and khajiittail.nif goes to your game's Data\Meshes\Characters\khajiit\male folder (overwriting the ones that are currently there from your base Robert Male install).

 

You will probably not notice anything while playing the game if you don't replace the normal body version with the bulky body version but it's best to take care of the little details as well.

IT WORKED FINALLY :D

Thank you for your time, very much.

been struggling with this some time <3

No problem, glad to be of some help.

 

Did you also install the MaleOutfitReplacerV52 (second from the top on the downloads list)? If so there is also an RT folder in that extracted download which has some replacement files for clothing and armor (in your case you'd be looking at the Bulky-HeavyMusc folder).

 

It is organised a bit more like a typical replacer mod in so far as folder structure goes. The simplest way to install that is to right mouse click on the Bulky-HeavyMusc\Data folder (so right click on Data) and then paste into your game by right clicking the game's Oblivion folder (so Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion) and select Paste from the right click menu. Answer Yes to Windows about merging the folder contents and you're done.
