It is important to note the low weight doesn’t necessarily need to be untransformed. Values in between will likewise put the character somewhere between the values. A weight of 0 will put a character’s appearance at the low weight values. A weight of 1 will put a character’s appearance at the high weight values. These correspond to your character’s weight attribute in game.

Bodyslide Basicsīodyslide has two sections, one for a low weight and one for a high weight. With this installed, you are now ready to launch Bodyslide. A simple one to get you started is a simple vanilla armor replacement mod (note the additional required mod).

You can use this to see various outfit replacers. One thing that is nice about nexusmods is that it mentions in the Required section mods that require a specific mod in order to work. With Bodyslide, unless you want to change armors yourself, you’ll need an outfit replacer. This will be your primary source for creating the body types you want your character and the various NPCs to transform to. With CBBE installed, you’ll also want to install Bodyslide and Outfit studio. Now some of these mods will still work with UNP, but oftentimes you’ll need a different supporting mod. Between the two of these, I recommend using CBBE primarily due to many of the additional mods I will be talking about use this body mesh replacer. The two main ones available are UNP and CBBE. Most body type transformation mods require some sort of body mesh replacer. Since we are interested in the transformation aspect of these body types, we will only be talking about mods that allow characters to change their appearance within the game. For example, Fat Bastards replaces the appearance of several male NPCs with a fatter version of themselves, but it doesn’t allow you to change them within the game. These mods though don’t really have a transformation aspect to them. Now there are plenty of other mods that give different body types to your character or NPCs. Talking about all the transformation mods available to the game would be several articles worth of content, so instead I’ll be focusing on transformations that can change the avatar’s body type or the body types of the NPCs in the world. Furthermore, Skyrim was also the first game I started using transformation styled mods.

Not surprisingly, one of the first games I modded was Skyrim. Ever since I first realized the fun and customization available via adding mods to a game I have been a firm believer in modding. The point where the Special edition re-release specifically was created to makeĪdding mods to the game easier regardless of system. It’s no surprise that when we talk about mods,ġ0,000 mods just a bit under a year of the game’s release, the number of mods has only grown to
