Acronyms Explained

[AmysDragon]

The Nexus and all of its mods use a lot of acronyms that you may see in Mods. This forum is to explain the acronym and give it a brief description. Here are a few I can think of but honestly I don't know what they mean, just that I use them. If you know of others besides these, feel free to list and explain them here:

 

NMM - Nexus Mod Manager: The mod manager built into the Nexus website

 

SKSE- Skyrim Script Extender: A necessary download for using some more intricate mods on the Nexus.

 

Vanilla - Means the default content of the subject, the un-altered and original content.

 

Ones I don't know:

 

HDT

 

UNP

 

CBBE

 

XPMS

 

XP32

 

ENB

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

I know there are more than are listed here. Please list and explain abbreviations of terms for the Nexus mods.

UNP = unpretended

ENB = just a name

CBBE = caliente big bottom edition

XP32 = the name of the author

HDT = I believe havok destruction tools, not sure on this one.

XPMS = XP(the name of author) maximum skeleton

The H in HDT stands for Havoc, I assume, as it's an extension to the so-named physics engine. Not sure about the rest.

CBBE is Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Edition. It's a body shape and texture replacer from the modder Caliente.

 

XPMS is the name of the mod, while XP32 is the author that created it. It's a skeleton replacer, so the S likely stands for skeleton I would imagine.

 

ENB is named after a character from an old anime the creator is fond of. She's his muse. No idea what it might stand for, or even what anime it's from.

EDIT: Valkasha was quicker, it seems.
