ChampionOfContinuity Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Hello everyone!I've been playing Skyrim for ages but only am now getting a computer that can handle it and thus am looking into mods and modding. I'm seeing a lot of body mods, a lot of conversation about which ones best, etc etc.I'm also seeing that this bodyslide mod is adjustable and includes other bodies, as well as a fair number of clothes aimed at bodyslide. Is anyone able to lend this lowly newbie a hand and either confirm my understanding or correct me? From what I can tell I can use bodyslide's version of UNPP and then wear UNPP aimed clothing?Also, mods that allow body type switching in game? I've seen a couple but to be frank I'd love some personal opinion on these as I either do not have enough information on these to know how well or reliably they work or the information that is available presents no clear winner.Anyone?Thank you all in advance,

I've seen a couple but to be frank I'd love some personal opinion on these as I either do not have enough information on these to know how well or reliably they work or the information that is available presents no clear winner.these mods tend to cause long term issues. but can be nice for some people, i dont recommend using them. CBBE (bodyslide) is one of two primary body mods (there's at least 6 more but when people talk about them it's usually UNP or CBBE) CBBE is the one you want to use: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/2666/?not the stand alone bodyslide. anyways the mod is great and allows you to adjust it to fit any existing body mods at the moment. the thing about this type of mod though is it's all up to personal preference. i dont really care to much i would use UNP or CBBE, as long as it's not vanilla im good.

DoctorSamanth Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 CBBE is updated more often and is owned by the mods original owner. CBBE comes with bodyslide.
Jeir Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 BodySlide is not a body mod. It's a utility for creating custom-shaped CBBE body meshes and outfits, and it's extension, Outfit Studio, for converting outfits from one body to another.If you tried to use BodySlide alone, all you'd get are body meshes; no textures, no feet/hand meshes/textures. That's why you need to install CBBE, as it contains all of those, and BodySlide was made for it.The main CBBE archive contains BodySlide (and TexBlend, to deal with those pesky neckseams), and is always updated when BodySlide is, so you'd only have to track CBBE and not the standalone BodySlide, which is primarily downloaded for Outfit Studio, as far as I'm aware.
