i need help setting up CBBE 3BA (3BBB)

[Xyteno Sane]

when i installed CBBE 3BA (3BBB) a window openned with multiple check boxes about the physics. what i want to know is if there are some of the boxes i need checked or unchecked to get the same physics an in the images and gifs on this page: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/30174?tab=description
or if any of the check boxes would get me the results forom the images and gifs.

Your link: This mod contains adult content...

Nope - I think I have had enough of modern day adult content.....

Just say, " NO " to perverts

Why don't you test it, it'd be much faster than multiplying threads about it. You'd also avoid idiotic comments like Valen's.

Besides, the config files for CBPC and HDT are likely customized for their body shape (custom body slide preset). Anyway, isn't the mod page the place to ask?

3BA is just the body shape. If you want to match the picture you'll have to grab the skin mod and ENB the mod author used.
To install grab the required mods and use all the presets with the installer. These type of mods, you'll reinstall dozens times to get that perfect shape.

ok just checking if i understood correctly, as long as i have it downloaded with the requirements it is working it is just that it won't look exactly like on the page unless i have the same model as in the gifs right? i don't need to select something specific in bodyslide or turn on something in or out of the game do i? i just enable the mod and it will be on? by the way Ozymandias i tried to ask on the page but it's been a week and i am getting no answers.

by the way the reason i keep starting new conversation is because after a while nobody answers me anymore.

Yeah, that's correct. Mod authors, especially for body shape and armor mods, tend to showcase their mod using other mods that change the skin texture or lighting. So if you want it to look exactly like in the screenshots, you need their bodyslide presets and textures. Personally I prefer to just make my own custom preset, but to each their own.

That mod page does have a link to the presets the author used in the description, but it leads to a modding site that focuses more on adult mods, so I won't copy it here. FYI, there's a link on that second page to the normal maps used, which in simple terms is what creates the little bumps on a 3d model. You'd need those as well.

As for the physics you asked about, I'm pretty sure those are just the "maximum softness" options that basically turn her into a human shaped jello mold. You'd make those selections when installing the mod, not in bodyslide. And speaking of bodyslide, make sure you're selecting the "CBBE CBBB Body Amazing" for the body option. That's the one for this particular mod.

Finally, you'll also have to make sure you've got all the requirements installed that are listed on the nexus page. The physics and skeleton in particular. The physics would have to be installed first so they don't override the body mod's settings.

It sounds like a lot, but once you get the hang of it it's really not super complicated. Like Corinze said, those of us that mess around with body shape mods have probably reinstalled them dozens of times trying to get everything just right. ;)

when you are talking about the normal maps you are talking about are you talking about the optional files in the files tab called:
-CBBE 3BA Physics Config Reinstaller
-CBBE 3BA Vagina Textures Set Reinstaller
-Custom normalmaps for sliders
if yes do i need al three of them or just one? and if no do you mind posting the name of the things? also in the files tab there is that thing under the Miscellaneous files do i need that or? because to be honnest i am not sure what it means because of my limited english knoledge.

I mentioned normal maps because it looks like the author might have used different ones for the body he used in the images on his mod page, so if you want an exact match you'd probably need them as well. They are a separate mod by the same author from the looks of it. But If you're ok with it not being exact, you should be fine with the ones that come with CBBE.

Normal maps are just texture files that help render the little details on a 3d model. Basically the engine looks at those files and makes the model look like it has a bump on highlighted spots. It's what makes a model of say, a block of wood look like it's made out of wood rather than a smooth plastic block. Or for example, create muscle tone on a human body so they don't look like they were just drawn on.

The bodyslide presets are what determine the overall shape of the body. Hip size, bust size, arm and leg size, etc. And as I mentioned before, the presets that the author used seem to be located on a much more adult oriented site that I'm not sure the people around here would be happy with me linking directly to. The nexus page you linked to has it in the mod description, but I won't copy it here. Sorry.

Okay so what you're saying is that it is for the character to physically look like in the images not for the physics to be the same like I want so it's going to take me an eternity to figure out what the physics are because the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ creator of that mod didn't think it would be useful to say what physics he used for his demo images >:(

[Shadow]

Actually two of the images say this right underneath.

(CBPC Very softness preset)

(SMP Option1 Dcup preset)

That body has numerous options for handling physics, some being better for performance and others for looks, so you'll have to figure out what combination you want. But like I said, he probably used the jiggliest, bounciest, softest options for his gifs.

for the the things under the images thanks i hadn't seen them, but for the the bounciest and jiggiliest they i tried but honestly oof it didn't look too good at least not in my opinion. but it is possible it is just because i tried the normal jumping animation rather then an animation more like in the the jumping gif.

hey question: when in bodyslide there are two check boxes. one is labelled build morphs and the other is something like meshes/actors/character... could someone explain to me what those do and if i need to check them?
