body mods

[Gabrielxoxo]

but if i have a body mod, and some armor i like uses a different one, will it still work together? will it make my skyrim implode? will it just look awkward? because im ok with a little awkwardness.

 

thanks in advance for your help/replies.

Generally speaking, it'll just look awkward. Seams and such, and in some cases downright hilarious changes in physical form (e.g. putting on a CHSBHC armor when you're otherwise using UNP). In some cases you won't even notice the difference (I've enjoyed a few CBBE armors with my UNP body, although if you look close enough seams are abundant).

 

If you're fine with seams and other "awkward" visual oddities, you're fine mixing one body's armors with a completely different body -- nothing's going to implode on you.

 

 

PS I have no idea if this remains true putting BBP-type armors on when you don't have a BBP skeleton -- I know BBP adds new bones to the skeleton to get the animations to work, and I have no idea if an armor expecting bones that aren't there is going to cause problems. My guess, however, is that it would be fine, that at most the armor just won't show up and you'll have a "nude armor".
