SSE Outfit converstion, need assitance with working out details.

[SkyMusicofHaven]

Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read this.

 

I'm trying to covert a outfit from the mod Arcanum - A New Age of Magic, the mod idea is trying to covert it for a body-type, while having the mod be dependent on the main mod itself.

 

I've learnt about BSA file extraction, basics of body-slide and outfit studio and outfit conversation, but having problems trying to put it all together, and think i might be missing a few things along the way. If anyone could help me by giving a basic guide on the steps to converting a outfit from another mod to completion been dependent on the original. Or link to any guides that are available To my question.

 

A general idea would be guide would be.

Taking the outfit and all BSA files required, the outfit is the The invokerrobes/ along with arms boots and gloves for the female character.

converting it to CBBE, then to another body mod. 3BBB as and example.

then creating the mod so it overrides the outfit within the main mod mention above, so it can be easily/ change in body-slide and equipped in game with the body type and slides set to it.

 

Thank you.

1. Extract the required meshes you want to convert (robe, gauntlets, boots) from the bsa into your Data folder. Make note of the file paths.

 

2. Launch Outfit Studio and follow this process on how to Create a Bodyslide Project

3. Select the Conversion: Vanilla to CBBE template and use your _1.nif that you extracted.

 

4. Pay particular attention when you reach the Save Project As step 9. In the Output File Name make sure it's the same nif file name, and in the Output Data Path, make sure it's the exact file path the original mesh is in.

You now have an outfit that you can build in Bodyslide that will overwrite the original meshes. The page I linked above also has details on how to package your conversion if you want to publish it as a mod.

If you want to take it a step further to the 3BBB body (assuming you mean 3BA), make sure you install that first then follow the instructions on the 3BA page to convert your now CBBE body to 3BBB.

And your right about the 3ba, i get the names mixed around from time to time.
