How do I go about getting the lady parts of an NPC to bounce like you all can?

[KeepMeAnonymousBro]

 

If you go to the link in the above and look at the .gifs, you can see that the lady parts of the player or NPC is bouncing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've tried downloading and installing HDT, XMP32, CBBE and all kinds of mods to see if it will do that. I've tried all kinds of mods each individually. Maybe it's because I'm doing manual installations from Nexus? I don't know. I'm completely new to Skyrim modding. Hell, I just bought the game about a week ago (super fun, no ragrets). My questions are: How does one go about making everyone's boobs and butt bounce like so? Am I also able to customize the booty and booby size of NPC's? 

 

If you do explain, please make it as Sesame Street as you can. Going through all the mods at Nexus and seeing UNP, CBBE, XMP, FNIS, etc. can be quite confusing to me. I don't yet clearly understand what all these acronyms are for. Thank you!

are you using mod organizer?  also can you post a full modlist of everything you have installed?

Did you download the normal version of CBBE? This one isn't compatible with those animations. You can make it compatible with those animations with Bodyslide, but that's not beginner friendly. The default UNP body doesn't have bouncing breasts either. For the start I would recommend you Sevenbase. It doesn't matter if you choose Bombshell, Cleavage or another version, but as far as I can say Bombshell is the most used one. Uninstall CBBE, install Sevenbase and some UNP textures, together with XPMSE, not XP32. XP32 is old and worse than XPMSE. Then install HDT and the animations and run FNIS.

Some information that you might want to know about:

Like said before, the default CBBE and UNP bodies are not compatible with animations like that. That means they don't have breast or butt bouncing, no matter what animations you use. Sevenbase does have breast and butt bounce. It's a UNP variant so it uses UNP compatible textures. If you install Sevenbase without UNP textures, your character's body will obviously have no textures, so you want to install one UNP texture mod. Unlike UNP or CBBE, Sevenbase doesn't have any textures by default, so this step is required.

Never install CBBE textures for an UNP body or vice versa. The textures will be misplaced and they simply look bad.

HDT enables breast and butt bouncing for body mods. It only works if you have a skeleton which allows that (XPMSE) and a body mod which is enabled to bounce (Sevenbase). If you don't have those 2 requirements, HDT does nothing for you (unless you have a HDT hair mod, but that's something else). No skeleton, no body or no HDT means no bounce.

XPS32 is older and worse than XPMSE. XPMSE is just better and allows bouncing, that's all you need to know. Keep in mind: let NOTHING overwrite the XPMSE skeleton! NOTHING! NEVER!

About the body sizes of NPCs... Kind of. Most body mods have weight, meaning the breasts and butt will grow if you set the weight higher. Don't do that on NPCs for now, it can cause some bugs and is nothing you should do at the start. Give your character big boobs and be happy with that.

FNIS is a great mod. It allows you (and modders) to add or modify animations in Skyrim. Without this mod, the animations wouldn't work, you would just see a T-pose. Without FNIS, you can only replace certain animations, and not really good. FNIS is a bit tricky to install, but actually very easy to use. Download the Behaviour, Creature Pack and Spell Pack and install all of them. Now go to Skyrim\Data\tools\FNIS_for_Users and run the GenerateFnisforUsers.exe file. Select the first patch for skeletons and then click the yellow button in the middle (Update FNIS Behaviour). This will automatically patch all your animations. At the end it will display you how many animations it patched and if there's an error (there will probably be none, don't worry).

Now something very serious and very highly recommended: use a mod manager. It makes life so much easier and better. Before you install one, uninstall all mods you added so far and reinstall them later with the mod manager. For beginners like you I would recommend Nexus Mod Manager, found on the nexus.

Also, if you're patiently enough to watch a long, but very detailed and helpful video series, I would highly recommend you Gopher's videos on YouTube. He explains everything very good and in detail. Be patient and listen, he will explain and clarify many things for you. He made the best Skyrim guides I know.

Also, if you have any other questions, feel free to ask, the community here will try to help you with all your problems.

1) install hdt plugin

2) install xpmse

3a) install an armor replacer that says it bounces

3b) or bodyslide some armors that says they bodyslide

3c) or manually mod some armors with outfit studio to have breast/belly weights.

4) ????

5) profit.

 

dont let people talk you into havok object crap. all that matters is you replace the armors npcs are wearing with versions that have breast/belly weights. then shit just happens everywhere all the time and life is good.

 

this includes the naked body. the naked body is just an armor. and an armor is just a naked body that has DamageAbsorb applied to it. by default bodyslide can install naked bodies for you, but armors will need bodyslide project files if you want to mass install them (or come pre-done already like the CT77 armors). the important thing to remember is that armors have the bodies baked into them, they are not actual clothes the game overlays on the naked body. the game actually replaces the naked body with the version in the armor.

I guess I have to dump all my mods now.. It's a little depressing because I have a boatload of mods on right now (they're so fun!), but it's alright! I have the whole weekend off to Fus-Ro-Dah everyone!

Havok? I haven't heard of this "Havok" object, but now that you mention it, I guess I don't need to hear about it at all, eh?

now you're thinking with portals.

[zzz72w3r]

Havok, or more appropriately in this context is a mod that adds something called "havok object" in game, is one method for getting HDT PE collision effect to work.  Don't worry about it until you decide to mess with collision.  Be warn it's another ladder up in terms of learning curve and the effects are not that noticeable.  Personally I use the Havok method but HDT PE is not very good at collision (HDT SMP has superseded HDT PE but it does not have much 3rd party support to date).    

 

Have you gone through the stickies and some key threads in the HDT PE forums?  Everything you need to get started is there:
