QUOTE(haute ecole rider @ Feb 19 2014, 08:48 PM) I love Robert's for both male and female body replacers. I really liked the BAB body for Julian's game, but I thing Robert's fits Tallei better. I only wish there were more stuff for the Robert's Female! I have not seen the BAB body in a while. What is the difference between the two? I suppose I could just download it and see. I have the TGND body laying around too. I didn't like the scars it adds though. This post has been edited by SubRosa: Feb 20 2014, 06:58 PM

BAB. Buffy 1.0 was a Bosmer using BAB. BAB is nice in that it is elven petite. Notably, the hands and feet are delicately done and one of my favorite features of that mod. It is not particularly well supported for outfits however. HGEC. As things advanced, I became unsatisfied with what I could do with vanilla race face textures and got quite tired of avoiding close-ups and taking great care with lighting to avoid blotchiness for screenshots. I found a fabulous custom race – but it required HGEC. So Buffy 2.0 was born with her own custom race and body by HGEC. Naturally, for Buffy I chose the smaller cup and hips sizes. Her height of .88 also helped give her a smaller and more delicate look - but I still found her a bit ‘chunky’ compared to what I had hoped for. When I set her race’s weight to 80% of an Imperial woman, magic happened and we had the wonderfully elven petite body that I wanted again. HGEC does have a more pronounced hourglass shape than most other body mods, but when combined with the smaller hips, bust and weight I’m using, I’m quite happy with it. Her current body is a bit more blossomed or womanly than her earlier BAB body, and I chalk that up to her maturing from teenage elf into young womanhood. Less than ideally, her hands and feet are still a bit more manish than those delicate feet and hands that BAB did so well. We use the EVE variant of HGEC, which provides plenty of ‘sizing’ options and also converts all the vanilla outfits to your selections. This ensures all the vanilla outfits fit well. As far as modded outfits, they run the gamut. The bad news is that there are indeed tons of skimpy and/or overly voluptuous outfits to wade through. But because HGEC is hands down the most supported body mod, there are also plenty of appropriate outfits for more slender girls for those who take the time to wade through things carefully - I think Buffy's massive wardrobe is pretty good evidence of that. While I think Buffy has a delightful little figure, I don’t think she’ll ever be convicted of being busty or voluptuous. TGND and Roberts. I’ve used neither, but certainly evaluated them from screenshots and discussions. Both seem to be geared toward a more realistic shape, rather than the somewhat waifish body of BAB/vanilla, or the rather idealized hourglass of HGEC.

So far I am liking the narrower waist of the Bab body better, so I think I am going to use it. I have been looking at a lot of face texture mods, and so far the the one I found for Robert's Body looks best. It works fine without the body, since it is just the face textures. I tried Danis13, Enayla's Faces, and of course used to have Natural Faces. But none of them look as good. I took a look at a few other face/body/hair mods, like Ren's Beauty Pack and Oblivion Character Overhaul, but they add too many other things I do not want, and pulling out just the face files look like too much work. For Ren's I would have to rename a pile of files. The other one requires Blockhead, which uses a bunch of scripts to change out files. Of course the files themselves are not usable at all on their own (they just have text on them saying Use Blockhead). Along the way I stumbled upon a mod that adds eyelashes, which is rather neat.

I don't like the noses in Orisimer Overhaul, otherwise I would use it. Though I do like the tusks. I use Cute Orc Head Replacer for my Orcs. (sans the .esp file, which just redoes some of the Orc's faces. I have already done that to all the NPCs myself). Sadly it does not have tusks. It would be nice to have them with the normal noses, like they are in Skyrim. Speaking of Orcs, I found the cutest dice bagThis post has been edited by SubRosa: Feb 20 2014, 10:21 PM

QUOTE(Grits @ Feb 25 2014, 07:34 PM) Please forgive the brief answer, I’m in the weeds here. I’m using Companion Share and Recruit v3.27. That's the one I'm using. Awesome! I really like the Witchcraft mod for Tallei - it adds summoned forest creatures which are more her speed. For both her and Julian I love the Recastable Summons. Two or three or even four Bones at once? No problem! Tallei's conjuration skillz are insane - one of the reasons she has survived so long without once notching her weapons is because of these two mods. When she has Bear, Timber Wolf, Mountain Lion from SubRosa's Morcant and three Skeleton Heroes, she just has to stay out of their way. They do considerable damage all by themselves.

I like using wigs to change hairstyles. Here’s one of Kanet’s that has bangs: front / side. It comes in different colors, she just likes the white and silver ones. It comes from Apachii Wigs. . This post has been edited by Grits: Mar 19 2014, 10:20 PM

The ones I use are pretty cool, for now. Here are a few... Better Cities: I LOVE this mod. Adds so much more to the cities like shops, quests and NPC. However, like Renee, there are certain aspects I dislike, primarily what the mod does to poor Bravil CSR; Essential for my gamestyle. Ironically, I very rarely enjoy exploring alone, so I use this to have Jessie or Anyanka (created with the console) join my adventures. Better Benirus Manor. A wonderful mod that makes the manor more homey by making it lighter and better decorated.. Includes a library too! Clothing mods: I use a lot of these... but mostly the Apachii Goddess store, along with it's separate wigs mod. Cheydinhal Pet Store: Lissa wanted a dog, so I got her one I really want to use a good body replacer mod, but I cannot seem toget them working. I'm trying to use Robert's Female body but I think I'm doing something wrong! Oh well EDIT: WOO! FINALLY have a body mod! I installed EVE HGEC after seeing it mentioned by Acadian, and I love it. I also installed a skin texture to clean up Lissa's face. I'm so happy! This post has been edited by Rihanae: Apr 2 2014, 06:58 PM

Robert's is tricky, by default it changes underwear, but you won't be able to see your character 'in their birthday suit' until you swap some nif files around. I forget exactly what I wound up doing, but if you read the posts over in Robert's Females Nexus page somebody explains how to figure this mod out step by step. It's a rather recent post too, so you shouldn't have to go digging. Like lots of other mod pages, the author explains what to do, but the explantion is half-baked.
