cbbe help Need step-by-step guide on how to install Cbbe 3ba.

[MasterPanda728]

I am tired of seeing all these mods that require me to have this cbbe 3ba installed just to improve my character in Skyrim Special Edition, without a proper guide on how to install it and make sure everything is in its rightful place. I have been having meltdowns because I don't understand how to make it work and there are no good video's that explain what or how to do it. They're usually already on some screen and just start clicking on things to make it work, without showing me how to get there first.

Well, you fist need the basics:  proper version of SKSE64, Address Library, SSE Engine Fixes,  PapyrusUtil SE, JContainers SE, ConsoleUtil SSE NG,   SkyUI.    You definitely should check out this guide

Then, you want Racemenu, followed by XP32 Maximum Skeleton.   About FNIS or Nemesis (or Pandora) requirement for XP32:  These are behavior engines, used for adding entirely new animations to Skyrim.   In case of XP32, those are only needed if you plan to use the alternate weapon carry styles.   Still, considering what you LIKELY want 3BA for  , you will definitely need one of those.   

Next, physics.   You should get CBPC,  as well as Fast SMP.   (Might also want SMP Crash Fix , but personally, I am running 1.6.1130, and I do not have that installed, and everything for me is fine)

Yes, above sounds like a lot of stuff, but really, those represent a base for a LOT of more advanced stuff.   

Now, actual body stuff.   A lot of those links are NSFW.   You start with CBBE.   I suggest you pick the 'Underwear' option in the FOMOD(Installer), since it will install optional underwear meshes/textures, but you will still get the ability to build the nude default body.    Speaking of building, make sure you get BodySlide and Outfit Studio.

CBBE does include rather nice skin textures, but you might want to get one of replacement skins.  My personal favorite is Fair Skin Complexion, but really there a lot of really nice skins.   Demoniac, Valhalla, Tempered, SG, The Pure, Diamond...   you obviously want the CBBE variant, and beefy hardware if you want 8K skins.   If your PC is on an older side, consider going with 2K textures instead.

Aaaand finally, we get to  CBBE 3BA.   You really should go through its description in detail.   Instructions are quite comprehennsive.
Once installed, you can build 'CBBE 3BBB Body Amazing'  in BodySlide to whatever CBBE preset you want for the default nude female body.   And any outfits which are for 3BA, should work properly.
