How do can I use a CBBE preset to apply it to my own character?

[Themask]

So I've just started playing F4 (actually I'm still creating my character) and I've installed a bodyslide preset. The thing is, I don't now how to use it. I'm using NMM and I'm kind of used to modding with Skyrim. So... do you guys have any clue to how I can use said preset on my own character?

It applies to every woman in the game, including yourself. Unless you want it to JUST apply to yourself then you need to use a unique player mod I believe. Or if you don't know how to actually use bodyslide, make sure to read the bodyslide mod page.

uh, if you know how to use CBBE on skyrim, you'll know how to do it on fallout 4 too.

all female characters use the same body meshes under meshes/actors/characters/basehumanfemale

therefore, you build CBBE body or CBBE body physics after selecting a preset. however, it applies to naked body only, so you'll need to build all the outfits using that preset too.

if you understand racemenu in skyrim, you'll understand looksmenu in fallout 4, both have bodygen -- a functionality which makes UNIQUE body shapes on every female characters based on presets' data. the thing is, in skyrim, unique body generation is almost automated by mods, but in fallout 4 unfortunately, you'll need to do it manually. but if unique body isn't really your focus just go ahead and build all outfits with same preset.

I'm actually not used to CBBE and never used it before. All I know is that I have a .xml preset, and I want to use it ingame on my own character (not sure about other's characters).
So to apply it I have to modify every outfits in the game?

in bodyslide you have the batch build function to do build multiple outfits at a time, and yes you need the body preset applied on every outfit too

Subscribed.

In case you encounter any issues with BodySlide.

I had to install CBBE/Bodyslide because there was a mod I like but the default body was downright pornographic, and this was a pretty good intro that got me through it.

Okay, so I kina know how to use the sliders now. New problem: the preset I have dowloaded only applies to CBBE bodies, and not to any kind of outfits

If mod authors have done their job right, then those custom cloth files should have groups. Adding the group name to XML will allow preset to run them.

This can be done either by re-saving preset in BodySlide and adding available groups to it. You can also manually edit XML-file to add groups to it.

However, most gear and presets should work together. I had to add Elianora's Compendium to preset I am using, but everything else worked out from the box.

[Ilja]

To be a bit more clear: this is how groups appear in my own custom XML.

		<Group name="CBBE"/>
		<Group name="CBBE Bodies"/>
		<Group name="CBBE Vanilla Outfits"/>
		<Group name="CCCA CBBE Conversion"/>
		<Group name="Eli Armour Compendium"/>
		<Group name="Fortaleza"/>
		<Group name="Pampas"/>
		<Group name="Pampas Physics Replacers"/>
