Help me sort my mod load order

[ScottishWind]

Okay I've been trying to figure out how to sort this for three hours now, I need help please I beg you. I don't even know if some of these work. I can't even tell the differences in the xp32 mods.

Originally I was trying to figure out how to stop the boobs from collapsing on themselves when I run. Now I'm trying sort out all the s#*! that doesn't usually work. Like high heels don't work for my character but does for npc's and followers.

 

Here's a copy of all my mods just in case. I've attached the mods I need help as different files.

If your female characters breasts are collapsing you're using an incompatible skeleton. Judging from what you posted above first get rid of the "XP32 maximum Skeleton" entry and then activate the "Extended" Skeleton below it. Without that Skeleton installed any armor using an HDT body setup will fail. Same goes for using a HDT body mesh. You also don't have an HDT compatible body installed. You got the UNP Blessed body available and I also see the UNP Base body in your list. Activate one of these 2 mods and keep em activated. Next I advise you to get Bodyslide to be able to modify/install an HDT compatible UNP variation. You also need to keep HDT Physics Extensions active for that. Dont forget to also install compatible feet/hands in Bodyslide or you will have ugly seams.

But don't I have to install maximum xp32 then the extended one on top of that? Since it works on from the old file? And same thing for UNP, you put the base on, then install blessed body ontop of that. Btw I only used the xp32 new animation package before and managed to make the boobs be normal one time

[metaforce]

Nope and nope.

 

Each skeleton is standalone...with the Extended having more features. Remember you also need FNIS installed and you have to run the FNIS patcher for the custom draw weapon animations the Extended version provides.

 

Same goes for the bodies. However like I wrote above you should really download Bodyslide.

For using Bodyslide take a look at my post in this thread

The example I explain would be exactly what you might need since the example uses a HDT UNP body

[ScottishWind]

So, I first choose a skeleton. Lets say the extended. What does the new animation package do? And what about HDT? I install physics extensions then breast and butt physics then high heels? Then I choose a UNP body, the dimonized. Where does enhanced character edit come in? I wanted to use the one with more body sliders and that requested the extended physics. Where does the fair skin complexion come in? Do I choose between fair skin and SG textures? Then come the armour mods? and where does the slider come in?

[metaforce]

So thats alot of questions. I'm going to go through them one by one.

 

What does the new animation package do?

The animations for the extended skeleton (about 160) add the option to wear a weapon at other parts of your characters body than by default (for example swords on back or daggers on your butt) and susequently adds animations for drawing those weapons from said bodypart...Else your character would still do the draw from hip animation although the sword is on your back or so.

 

And what about HDT?

Here is all the files/mods you need for HDT

• SKSE (guess you already got that, right?)
• FNIS (totally forgot you need that in any case to make the physics work)
• Compatible skeleton (we got that covered)
• HDT physics extensions (you got that...just activate it)
• A compatible bodytype (like I said above get one of the 2 UNP bodytypes activated as a base and then generate a custom body in Bodyslide)

This is all you need for basic HDT functionality. Your characters breasts collapsed because your game reverted to the vanilla skeleton which doesnt have bones in the breasts (yes your mesh needs bones in the breasts to make it work...just the way it is) it does not contain breast collison though. I dont use collison files in my setup. I got the setup I described above which produces a subtle and realistic effect, however hands will clip with breasts. If you want more movement (looks bad imho...like they are made of jelly) and/or collison you need this mod

Choose Loremonger either with or without collision

 

I install physics extensions then breast and butt physics then high heels?

 

Install in the order I described above. Doesnt matter at which point you install highheels since it has nothing to do with the body mesh directly. Remember you need an armor mod which actually supports highheels though.

 

Where does enhanced character edit come in?

 

Technically has nothing to do with HDT. Although I would rather advise you to get Racemenu instead.

I wanted to use the one with more body sliders and that requested the extended physics.

 

Like I mentioned above choose a UNP HDT body in Bodyslide and modify it the way you like it as I described in my other post

 

Where does the fair skin complexion come in?

 

Has nothing to do with HDT also since its a texture not a mesh. You just need to make sure you choose a UNP texture or your characters nipples end up close to her neck while having an ugly gap at her hips.

 

Do I choose between fair skin and SG textures?

Whatever you like. My advice...use this mod...

 

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70834/?

 

With that you got a great selection of SG textures and also Fair complexion in one mod

 

Then come the armour mods?

 

Best would be to choose armors which have Bodyslide files available for them. That way you can adapt the shape of the armor to the body you choose/generate in Bodyslide (I described how its done in my other post I mentioned earlier)

Well... Thanks!
