LE Female Loincloths

biddyboo8 · July 23, 2015

Now, I know this has been requested a few times but they weren't of the idea I'm thinking of. If someone can make a mod where females have loincloths just like the males and no bras it would be perfect. It would be a fantastic realistic addition, if you ask me. But if no one wants to make it can you PM a way to make it myself? Thanks in advance.

The easiest way to do this that I can think of is using BodySlide. I'll give step-by-step instructions.

1. Download BodySlide. It can be found here: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49015/?

2. Run Bodyslide.

3. Click on "open Outfit Studio" in the lower right corner of BodySlide.

4. In Outfit Studio, go to File>Load Reference.

5. Click "browse" under "use an existing slider set".

6. Navigate to Skyrim/Data/meshes/actors/character/character assets/femalebody_0 and select it, then hit "OK".

7. Go to File>Load Outfit.

8. Click "browse" under "load from a .nif file".

9. Navigate to Skyrim/Data/meshes/actors/character/character assets/malebody_0 and select it, then hit "OK".

10. In the upper left part of Outfit Studio, you should see the objects, called "BaseShape", "MaleUnderwear_1", and "MaleUnderwearBody_0". Right click on "MaleUnderwearBod_0" and choose "delete shape". Choose "yes" when it asks if you are sure.

11. Right click on "MaleUnderwear_1", and select "move shape". Depending on what body you use, you will probably have to move the object on the Z axis quite a bit. Use the slider or type in a number to put the loincloth at the right height. If you are using the slider, you may have to repeat this step, so I suggest typing in a number and adjusting the number that way.

12. At the top of Outfit Studio, just underneath "File", "Edit", etc. there is a toolbar. Four of the icons are circles with a white dot on them. Click on one of the circles that has a dot on one side.

13. Repeat step 11 for the Y axis. I suggest using the slider this time.

14. Right click in the part of the window where the body is and move your mouse to rotate the camera and see how the body looks. If you are satisfied, you can now skip to the last step. If you aren't, continue to the following steps.

15. Find a specific area that doesn't look right, and zoom in on it.

16. If it looks like the loincloth is inside of the skin, click on the circle with a bump on it in the toolbar(it will say "increase mesh volume in an area" when you click on it). If it looks like the loincloth is too far from the skin, click the circle with a divot in it in the toolbar(it will say "decrease mesh volume in an area" when you click on it).

17. Make sure that "MaleUnderwear_1" is highlighted in the upper right. Use the selected tool in the area by clicking and dragging the cursor in the area. If you mess up, you can easily fix the mistake by going to Edit>Undo.

18. Once you are happy with the area, return to step 14.

19. Once you are completely happy with how the loincloth looks, go to File>Export>Export Nif With Reference. Navigate to Skyrim/Data/meshes/actors/character/character assets/femalebody_0, and overwrite it.

20. Repeat steps 1-19 using femalebody_1 instead of femalebody_0 and malebody_1 instead of malebody_0. Make sure you export as femalebody_1 this time, as if you save it as femalebody_0 again you will overwrite what you did before and will have to do it again.
