Apply CBBE NeverNude Body to Bijin Characters

[falloutfan3210]

After gaining so much knowledge from this community, it's time for me to give back. Below I outline the steps necessary to utilize Caliente's never nude body for Bijin characters. There are very likely simpler solutions but this is how I did it. If anyone has anything to contribute, I welcome them to comment.

 

Simply - Less tedium for those in the know

1. Load the CBBE NeverNude body from CBBE project into outfit studio.

2. Update textures to use those provided by Bijin.

3. Save As with new name and output target.

4. Backup original nifs unless you're a savage cave-person.

5. Build in BodySlide.

 

Detailed - Includes specifics of my setup with MO2 for Bijin Wives

1. Load the CBBE NeverNude body from CBBE project into outfit studio.

i. File > Load Project

ii. Browse to "C:\Users\falloutfan3210\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\SkyrimSE\mods\Caliente's Beautiful Bodies Enhancer -CBBE-\CalienteTools\BodySlide\SliderSets" and choose "CBBE.osp"

iii. Click "Open"

iv. Select "CBBE NeverNude Physics" and click OK. Choose "CBBE NeverNude" if you don't use physics.

2. Update textures to use those provided by Bijin.

i. Under Meshes > CBBE NeverNude Physics, right click CBBE and choose Properties.

ii. Click the "Textures" button.

iii. Change the file path for Diffuse, Normal, Glow/Skin and Specular to "textures\actors\character\Bijin Wives 00". File names (after last \)remain the same.

iv. Click OK and OK.

v. Note the change in skin color on the model.

3. Save As with new name and output target.

i. File > Save As

ii. Display Name = "Bijin Wives CBBE NeverNude Physics"; Output File Name = "femalebody"; Output Data Path = "meshes\actors\character\Bijin Wives"

iii. Click "To Project" button to populate other fields.

iv. Select "Low/High weight output" and "Copy reference shape into output".

v. Click Save.

vi. Close Outfit Studio.

4. Backup original nifs unless you're a savage cave-person.

i. Browse to "C:\Users\falloutfan3210\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\SkyrimSE\mods\Bijin Wives SE\meshes\actors\character\Bijin Wives" in windows explorer.

ii. Make a new folder called "original".

iii. Copy femalebody_0.nif and femalebody_1.nif to the newly created folder.

5. Build in BodySlide.

i. Open BodySlide.

ii. Select "Bijin Wives CBBE NeverNude Physics" in Outfit/Body select box.

iii. Apply presets or mess with sliders if you wish.

iv. Click "Build".

If not already done, please endorse CBBE and Bijin mods.

 

Edit - When I used these same steps for Bijin NPCs, BodySlide output the nif files to the MO2 overwrite directory but when I did this process for Warmaidens and Wives, the nif files in MO2 mods folder were overwritten. Perhaps someone can explain how BodySlide decides what the "output file path" value is relative to.

does this guide only work for Bijin Wives? I have Warmaidens and npcs installed too.
