2 questions basically: 1- armor compatibility wise which is the best one for females? 3 years ago before leaving the game i am pretty sure it was. UPDATED JULY 23, 2015: Check out my new female body mesh mods comparison here! I’m a little late to the Skyrim modding party, but I’ve been spending the last couple weeks modding the shit out of my game and now I’m ready to share some of my testing results!

10 -. 11 -. 12 -Dragonborn always looked like a robot when standing or sitting, and have you noticed how woman walk exactly like men? It might also be nice if a secondary weapon shows on a character. New stand or sit idles are easy fixes, but dual sheathing or special body physics (boob jiggle or combat) require some extra steps.Here I cover how to install new bodies, with or without breast and butt physics, new animations for idles or walks, and having two sheathed weapons show up on your character. In I cover my choices for body replacers, skin textures, and more on making characters pretty.Keep in mind that some non-FNIS custom animations replace existing animations, and for each action you generally get one animation.

Your character can sit in a different position, cross-legged or whatever, and will always sit that way with a few exceptions. I share a couple suggestions below under step H.Dual sheathing, including shield or staff on back, needs a special skeleton. Boob physics (HDT) requires a new skeleton and supporting body mesh. I’m using skeleton since it has both covered along with many popular body meshes. For best results certain requirements, including optional animation packs, must be installed before installing XPMSE.Use a mod organizer supporting FOMOD, such as or MO, to include install options. If you’re new to installing mods, see.

Installation order matters:These install steps are based on documentation for XPMSE by Groovtama. Follow the steps no matter if you want breast physics or dual sheath. I bet you never considered boobs and swords depended so much on the same things.

You’ll want to follow the same order for hair and cape physics, too. This tutorial assumes you want HDT physics for body jiggle. Other pure-animation BBP mods also exist that don’t require HDT Physics Extensions.Review the description page for mods not compatible which include some HDT equipment.After installation of other mods, you may review load order on by the HDT Physics Extension team.

Terminology. body mesh replacer: the shape of the character’s body supporting animations given a skeleton. (T)BBP (Tender) Breast and Butt Physics. Uses animations (such as walking) for jiggle.

BBP-HDT: Requires HDT Physics Extensions for jiggle reacting to character motion. HDT-PE: Physics Extensions supporting body, hair, capes, wings, etc using the same in-game Havok engine. skeleton: same idea as your body, but may include extra bones for breasts, belly, or butts. Hair and capes may have their own skeletons.Note that some (T)BBP options may be pure animations without HDT physics. For these you need a supported walking, running, or combat animation that include bode jiggle.

HDT body jiggles reacting to character motion using the in-game physics engine. Install first in this orderThis example assumes HDT-BPP physics using the Havok engine which requires SKSE, XPMSE skeleton, and HDT-PE for original Skyrim., available. (optional, but handy for MCM).

(FNIS)SkyUI includes a mod-control menu (MCM) that some mods support to include options or more information. One of my steps below include using SkyUI’s MCM to select weapon sheathing options. Many body movement sequences and custom animations use FNIS. It comes with a generator that you’ll need to run whenever you add or remove a mod that uses FNIS. We’ll generate after a few steps. Install female bodyFor widest custom clothing and armor support, I recommend, by dimon99, or SeveNBase. With extra work outfits may be converted to whatever you choose.

The defaults are nude, but several include underwear options or search for prettier underwear mods. You may install new skin textures after this or at a later time. Boob jiggle requires a BPP body mesh. To add BPP to UNP, you have several choices.For CBBE with HDT BPP:. Install. Choice of CBBE-Curvy, CBBE-Slim, or CBBE-Vanilla.

Install by Ousnius and Caliente. Open BodySlide from your SkyrimDataCalienteTools folder. For Outfit/Body on top-left, choose CBBE Body HDT. Choose your Preset. I chose CBBE Slim. Press the Build button at bottom.Optionally, install new skin texture now or later.

Your undressed female characters have BBP, but clothing or light armor also needs to support when dressed. Install male bodyAgain, defaults are nude, but include underwear options.

I like the “FavoredSouls” mesh option in best, but SoS-lite (adult site) isn’t bad either. comes in choice of “Sundracon” or “FavoredSouls” body meshes.For “Better Males” if you want different body size than default, you’ll need to do some manual copying by moving contents of labeled sub-folders. (Optional) install custom combat/sheathing animationsI tried this out, but ended up not using these animations. Some animations are covered by XPMSE.

The installer lists multiple animation replacements that you may pick with checkboxes. If you want one, best installed before XPMSE.E. Install the skeleton.

Install before XPMSE. Install (XPMSE) by Groovtama:Leave most of the options at default unless you have other mods that apply. The descriptions explain everything.

Overwrite previous skeleton files. Note in general, XPMSE should be late in load order. When installing other skeleton animation mods, run LOOT or check your load order. Even if you don’t plan on using to craft your character’s face, I recommend using it for improved functionality with XPMSE and you might decide to play with “RaceMenu” in the future.Note that some older help posts recommended deleting the female skeleton, but as noted in big, bold letters on the XPMSE page, do NOT delete the skeleton file. Install physics.

Install by HydrogensaysHDT. Install by threedeedevilNote that older tips suggested adding a HAVOK section to your Skyrim.ini, but with latest extensions it’s been to leave as default with iNumThreads=1.This is a good time to run LOOT, Wyre Bash, or similar tool to make sure the load order is good and XPMSE is positioned correctly (after any body plugins) according to Groovtama. FNIS generateLocated by default at Skyrim/Data/tools/GenerateFNISforUsers as GenerateFNISforUsers.exe. You’ll need to run this each time you add or remove a FNIS animation. Likely, you’ll need the “SKELETON Arm Fix” option.

Gender-specific animations may need checking if using gender-specific animation mods such as “” by dualsun. Only include other options if you have the relevant mods.If you load a game and your character stands with arms and legs stuck outward (t-pose), run this generator again.Be aware that adding a high number of animations increases the chances of CTD (crash) when loading a saved game. Note the number the generator reports and aim for no more than a couple thousand. I recommend not including pose mods on regular play-through; load when you want to take screenshots and unload before continuing play.

Workarounds include loading older save file first, or disabling unused animations from animation index text files and re-generating FNIS. Best to plan play-through around heavy-animation mods, choosing supporting mods for that theme, to keep the memory usage down. (optional) Add new idle and walkLet’s fix the robotic sitting and standing with some simple replacers. And doesn’t require FNIS and replaces the default sit and stand with one of each among choices from the installer.

Check each example picture to see which one you like including a couple combination poses which your character will switch between. Changes how women walk. It uses a weird token system in inventory so each NPC will remember her walk, but you may turn it off in MCM.

While in MCM, select which walks not to include and if to include while wearing armor. Some of the walks appear too exaggerated for me.

This also changes the female run which looks a bit on the girlish side. Remember to run FNIS Generator again. by dualsun. by dualsun. by fore (run generator)I. (optional) Dual Sheath Redux (DSR)Before installing DSR, you may want to run LOOT, Wyre, or similar tool to make sure the load order is correct at this point paying attention to XPSME position as explained by Groovtama.This mod will add a second weapon on the character’s belt, optionally put shield or staff on back. Consider that “Dual Sheath Redux” is a cosmetic mod, and that it may increase script activity with NPCs and compete with other area scripts.

NPC shields on back may be disabled in MCM. Also, some custom weapons may not be supported.

See the description page for details.If you want, or other mods with support, install them now. If added later then run patcher again. Make sure you have installed. If not, get it. Install using NMM or another mod organizer. In installer, check the box for Other Mods which will detect “Campfire” and others.

Go to your Skyrim/Data/SkyProc Patchers/Dual Sheath Redux Patch/ folder. Run Dual Sheath Redux Patch.jarAfter adding a new mod, run the patcher again. Naturally, the patch file must load after weapon and armor plugins. It may be easiest to keep the patch file last so as not to have to move it whenever running the patcher. (optional) Sheath style optionsSome mods support alternate styles, but you may want other styles for other weapons. Do you like two swords on back?

With custom sword drawing animation? XPMSE covers some, or if you did step D, you may have it. Keep in mind that these animations are 1-to-1 replacers, so changing them mid-game or having different animations for different characters may not happen without extra work. Using the MCM, you can let each character sheath their weapons in different styles.

Open MCM and select XPMSE. Select “Styles”.

Browse the weapon types and make your change. The screenshot below shows two swords on back selected. Check your character. If it’s not working, try un-checking Style Fitting Animations, check your load order, or find out if another mod has replaced the corresponding animation.(T)BBP/HDT clothing and armorSelect your favorite clothing and armor supporting your body type. It doesn’t make sense for armor to jiggle, except perhaps lightweight leather, or limited breast coverage, but most clothing should.

If you customized your body, or chose a preset other than default, look for BodySlide files or create your own. If you’re using DSR, remember to run patcher after adding a new custom armor.Here are a few CBBE-compatible mesh mods to get you started:. (no BPP) to fit outfits to your preset. to update clothing for BBP with your preset. has optional CBBE-BBP and BodySlide files.For “Omnisway Clothing” use BodySlide to pick which clothes you want to update, adjust preset, and build.If your favorite outfit doesn’t support your body type or BBP, see my tutorial. Common issuesCheck your character and NPCs for animation, custom idle, custom walk, and skin textures. If you find a problem, review installation order and mod load order.

Pure texture replacers can be re-installed, and pay attention to file overwrites to achieve your desired result. Character stuck with arms and legs outEnsure XPMSE skeleton is installed correctly. Run FNIS generate. Female vampire character burnt-faceThe “Dawnguard” burnt-face happens after your vampire character spends too much time in sunlight and you’re using custom body texture. avoid sunlight. toggle vampire lord.

or copy your custom femalehead files (2) over femaleheadvampire files in Datatexturesactorscharacterfemale folderNeck seam / mismatched head-body colors / dark vampire headThe problem may occur on just NPCs, only your character, or just vampires. Causes include mismatched textures (custom face doesn’t update body), wrong installation order, unintended file overwrite occurred, loose files leftover from old installation (removed mod) that don’t belong, or a mod missing updated face-gen data. You do not need another mod to fix neck seams. A neck-seam mod is a bandage leaving the source of the problem still in your data.Note: using the console command on selected NPC, “setnpcweight 10” may temporarily fix the issue, but neck seam may return.

This indicates a problem loading correct data due to extra loose files or mod conflicts. Neck seams or color mismatch: Check if your chosen face texture updates the body. Re-install custom body/face texture(s), or check for old loose files that need removing. Neck seam/color mismatch for just one NPC: check for mod updating facegendata file, or left over file from old mod. Try updating the face-gen data file for the NPC using Creation Kit: export with Ctrl+F4 on selected NPC.On using Creation Kit (CK) to export face-gen data:For Dawnguard characters, you may need to edit SkyrimSkyrimEditor.ini with bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1 and bAllowMultipleMasterFiles=1 under General section.

Open CK and select File-Data and choose any body or texture esp-plugins you may have. (yes to all on warn). Go to Character-Actors and race (for Hert, choose Nord).

Type in character’s name in filter. Find character entry indicated by “NPC” tag. Select NPC entry and press Ctrl+F4. Say yes to export face data.If many vampires have dark heads, also see which explains how to copy face textures for all female vampire NPCs in addition to your character.If you can’t track down the cause then reset to clean Data folder and install your mods again observing proper install and load order.

Pay attention to overwriting files. One-handed blades not on back/hip/ankle. In MCM XPMSE styles, try toggling matching animation checkboxes.

Duel Sheath Redux with custom armor: ensure supports DSR; check if need a patch, run patcher.Duel Sheath Redux: shield not on back. After installing new armor, or load order changes: Run the patcher. Happens occasionally. Toggle in MCM by unselecting, close MCM back to game, open MCM and select again. Or reload saved game.Too many scripts updating nearby NPCs such as DSR and “Wet and Cold” may cause some updates to not happen. If shields fail to attach to back too often, consider turning off some of these cosmetic features in DSR and other mods.

BestSkyrim Special Edition Mods for PCWindows Central2020

Skyrim Special Edition brought advanced support for modding with 64-bit on PC, meaning players can load up heavier mods with fewer issues and instability. For all the mods listed in this round-up, we'll be using the Nexus platform and the Vortex mod manager to install them. Here are the best mods you should install for your next Skyrim playthrough.

See Where You're Going: A Quality World Map

The map isn't necessarily bad in Skyrim, but there are a few improvements that A Quality World Map by IcePenguin brings to the table. The mod includes a set of highly-detailed world map textures, complete with roads. This is a must-have for anyone who enjoys walking (or riding) everywhere without the use of fast travel. This mod also adds a detailed Solsteim map. And there's even a paper-style map!

Start A New Life: Alternate Start

When modding Skyrim, some bad things can happen, especially during the opening scene. This is a heavily scripted part of the game and one that can cause problems if you have mods that interfere with Bethesda's code. Alternate Start provides the option to skip the start of the game altogether, protecting against crashes, and can even allow for some exciting roleplaying adventures.

Call Down The Heavens: Apocalypse

This is an essential mod for anyone looking to do a mage build. You get 155 new spells, all of which are added to existing vendors and loot lists, no script bloat for enhanced performance, compatibility with many other spell-related mods, and the ability for unique mage builds that do not focus on destruction or conjuration. You will need ASIS (Automatic Spells, Increased Spawns) for NPCs to be given new items and spells.

Beautiful Ambience: Audio Overhaul

Skyrim sounds pretty good already, but this mod makes your adventures that little bit more immersive. With Audio Overhaul installed, you'll feel the need to wonder between locations on foot rather than quick travel. Every part of Skyrim has been improved, from footsteps and ambiance to creatures and combat.

Aggressive Engagements: Combat Evolved

The AI and combat in Skyrim aren't brilliant. It's fine, but with a few mods, including Combat Evolved, you can transform it into an engaging and rewarding system. This mod is a light script-free combat and difficulty enhancement. Combat Evolved makes combat more dangerous and unforgiving, changing nearly every aspect of combat, including improved enemy AI.

Restored Content: Cutting Room Floor

Modders have not only fixed bugs in Skyrim, added new content and worked magic with the game engine, but also restored some content that Bethesda cut from release. This mod restores several NPCs, some quests, and other miscellaneous content which was created but never implemented in the game. Villages that are supposed to exist have been spawned in, quests that were partially implemented have been completed, and numerous items have been added.

Make Torches Useful: Darker Nights

As the name suggests, this mod makes the nights in Skyrim darker, depending on personal preference. For many, the evenings in Skyrim were far too bright, and Darker Nights provide the option of 6 different levels that can be set to create a more atmospheric experience during the late and early hours of each day.

Skryim Never Looked So Good: Enhanced Lights and FX

Enhanced Lights and FX is a sizeable mod that creates a more dynamic and realistic mood to the Skyrim landscape by adding actual lighting to all light sources and removing any light without a cause, as well as the addition of numerous effects including smoke, volumic lights, and more. If you want dungeons, interiors, and Skyrim in general, to look better, you need to install ELFX. Just don't install the weather part of the mod if you plan to use True Storms.

Walk-in Wardrobe: Immersive Armors

Skyrim has a bunch of armors already available, but Immersive Amors is a mod that takes kitting out your characters (and NPCs) to the next level. Fifty-five new sets are included, alongside 396 shields and various other miscellaneous apparel items. That's a lot of new items to play around with. Different sets and items have specific stats that are integrated into the game through quest rewards, placement in dungeons, and given to certain people.

Real People: Immersive Citizens

Immersive Citizens is a mod you should install if you want to wander around a world that feels lived in. NPCs, by default, aren't the most realistic of folk, which is exactly what this mod addresses. The AI has been revamped, better reacting to its surroundings, engaging in more complex schedules, occasional outings, respond to weather, and interactions with nearby objects in the environment.

Countless Decapitation: Immersive Weapons

Much like the Immersive Armors mod, Skyrim has several weapons already available for you to use, but Immersive Weapons adds around 230 more, not to mention new weapon sets to make various new melee builds viable. Not only is it great to see and use the new weapons, but hothtrooper44 made sure that the mod doesn't harm the lore, just in case you wish to play as close to vanilla as possible.

More Souls: Interesting NPCs

Interesting NPCs is huge. I'm talking more than 250 fully voiced NPCs (atop all the characters already in-game) with at least 25 of them being recruitable as followers, more than 15 NPCs you can wed, and over 50 new quests. That's a massive amount of content that works well with other restoration and content mods to bring Skyrim to life.

The perk tree could do with some improvements to make each playthrough and build feel more interesting and unique. This is where Ordinator comes in, adding more than 400 perks to the game, completely overhauling each skill tree. You'll need to visit the Nexus page to see all the perks added, but it's a comprehensive list, and Ordinator is a mod I cannot play without.

Fus-Ro-Dah: Realistic Ragdolls and Force

The ragdoll effect in Skyrim can lead to some hilarious situations, including those moments when a giant will send you to outer space with a whack of its club. That's no good for role-playing and immersion, which is where Realistic Ragdolls and Force can lend a hand. Bodies now react to gravity and force more realistically. It's a small but useful mod.

Shimmering Splendar: Realistic Water Two

With the updated water flow system and more included in Skyrim Special Edition, mods that affect the natural liquid are now more critical when the aim is to create a more realistic-looking environment. Realistic Water Two takes Bethesda's improved system and takes everything to the next level with higher quality effects and textures, not to mention more accurate water body movement depending on the location (sea, river, pond, etc.).

Must-have Tool: Skyrim Script Extender 64-bit

Finally, the incredibly talented modders behind the exceptional Skyrim Script Extender has released a version in beta that works wonderfully with Skryim SE. What this tool allows you to do is install mods that require additional functionality that the base game engine cannot offer. I'm talking a better UI experience that wasn't designed for consoles, more feature-packed mods, and more.

Your License To Drive In AlabamaUnder the laws of Alabama, every person (with some exceptions) must be licensed to operate a motor vehicle upon public streets and roadways. License RequirementsEvery Alabama resident who operates any motor vehicle (except a farm tractor or implement of husbandry temporarily upon any street or highway) must have a driver license. If applying for a motorcycle driver license, you should also study the motorcycle operator manual. Driver licenses are issued by ALEA.This chapter tells you who may qualify and what you must do to obtain an Alabama driver license. Alabama drivers license y restriction.

Hilarious Companion: Sofia

The fully-voiced delight that is Sofia is a lore-friendly (depending on opinion and play style) follower who accompanies the Dragonborn on his (or her) adventures. Voiced by Christine Slagman, the dialog is not only witty and humorous but also reacts to surroundings, other NPCs, and select quest lines.

Pretty Ropes: Static Mesh Improvement Mod

SMIM is a huge mod. And by huge we mean massive in both scale and size of the download. Totaling nearly 1GB, this package contains a bunch of improved 3D models for various things like robs, chains, lanterns, and other objects. It's particularly effective if you're one to notice when things look slightly out of place or aren't high-quality assets.

The absolute must-have mods for Skyrim include SKSE, SkyUI, and Alternate Start. The rest depends on your system specifications, your desired playstyle, and what type of content you want to add to the world of Skyrim.

I'd also like to thank modders for their continued support in extending the enjoyment of games, particularly Skyrim. You guys are incredible.

Wheely good

Take your Forza experience to another level with these great wheels

Forza Motorsport is one of Microsoft's biggest titles and one of the best racers around. It's a superb experience with a controller, but a good wheel will really take that experience to the next level. If you're in the market for one, these are what we recommend.
