Why do YOU use body mods? Open ended discussion.

Post » Fri May 25, 2012 10:19 am

I have a question for most of the people who mentioned feet:

If a mod was created for the vanilla body that replaced the blocky feet with proper feet (and I guess better looking underwear), but no other body adjustments were made, would you guys use that mod over your current body mods?
No.
Basically because I prefer the mesh + texture that I am using, is all.

I use them simply because the default body model looks very bland to me. While a woman definitly does not need to be shaped like a pinup model to be physically attractive, the more popular body mods out there are more visually appealing (if a bit unrealistic in some areas) than the default one.

With all that said, I do wish there were less skimpy armor mods out there, and more straightforward conversions.

Yes. The default body is pretty fantastic aside from the ridiculous loincloth underwear, but I don't play with my character in just underwear so it's not really much of an issue.

My ideal would be vanilla conformant with little changes, still supports the weighting sliders, also covers beasts but keeps those lore friendly too, and especially if the idea is for males aswell as females and so increases the compatability for everything armour/clothing vanilla - But for me I would be looking for a no underwear option ... sooo no :)

Godz, one of these days I am going to seriously get into blender if I ever get the spare time to spend on it.

Well, it'd have to fix hands, too, but yeah, I'd definitely try it out. Having a no-underwear option is also pretty important.

For women I'm using CBBE's Bodyslide; weights in my game range from skinny and near flat chested all the way up to dangerous (but not quite unrealistic) curves. I'm not concerned with a fashion model look, i just think the wider variety is good in my game.

For men I'm using Better Males with the Sundracon meshes. Not as wide a range of body types as I'd like, but at least that godsawful loincloth is gone, and the feel don't look like boots painted to look like feet. Maybe there'll be a male version of CBBE's Bodyslide some day.

I would like better Hands and Feet, and an option to remove or change the style and colors of the Vanilla Underwear.

Yes. Because it wouldn't need updated armor.

No. Because I can't get vanilla to look like this.

Just not enough detail and options in vanilla Skyrim for me to make the type of character that I want.

I'm using the e55 body figure. It's fairly new and people might have passed right by it. I like it. UNP might be better, but I'm not sure.

Since the default body texture is horrible, most custom feet textures will fit the body mods:

- For Males: If you download BetterMales Underwear version it does not replace the body mesh, only the feet. It does add body textures and the feet textures match them.
- For Females: CBBE and UNP both have feet meshes with them. Obviously you have to replace the body textures.

@Topic: I use body mods because I want my game to look good. Surely it would be more "realistic" if not everyone looks perfect but the default body meshes and especially the default dirty textures really don't fit my taste. In every medieval movie themed movie or tv series there are also actors who do have great bodies and faces and why should I not have this in my game? Reality is ugly, so why shouldn't I play with beautiful characters? :>

I use UNP because CBBE is way too curvy and I don't like huge briasts. Most of the body mods for CBBE use the large briast body. The UNP default body is nice. Surely it does not add "fat" option for girls, the body slider increases the briast size (and leg thickness).
Here is a screen of my character, first is without all mods and the second with mods. As you can see, Exeter does more than just increase briast size.

Simple... I like variety in clothes and armour and most modded armours and clothes require you to use a non-vanilla body mod.

Why would I want to agree to replace a working mod that I know the quality of with some other mod that apparently does not yet exist?

I tend to not replace existing mods with other equivalent mods. Whichever I install first tends to be the one I keep, unless it has problems -- then I go searching for other mods, and other people's opinions about mods.

Because a nice backside and huge boobs are simply cool. It's my fantasy world. I don't want other people involved and I want the bodies to look the way I want them to. Pretty simple
