So... plugin files (.esp), what exactly are they?
Unique Followers mod allows me to have different body meshes for each follower, so i thought to myself that i would like to make Piper with a ripped body with Jane Bod, while retaining CBBE bodies for everyone else. The thing is, though, each of these body replacers has a plugin file, they aren't simply alternative body meshes, with textures, so, yeah...
WHAT THE FUCK ARE .ESP FILES?!?!?!???
>>339200460
do muscle girls like this exist irl?
>>339200556
well... I can't post these in sfw board, but i think they do.
not that it's related to the problem though.
>>339200460
Jesus christ just use a mod manager if you cant figure this shit out on your own
>>339200702
Just post as much as you can before you're banned.
Let's not pussy foot around. I know why you're here.
How do you think the game is going to know what body to use if there is no esp?
>>339200734
I do use mod manager. I don't think these .esp will do their job when i place their respective meshes and textures in different folders, which unique followers requires me to do.
and also, i think that running both body replacer .esp will probably cause a conflict, if not several.
>>339200785
enlighten me then.
>>339200932
By the meshes placed in characterasset folder, i guess, and textures in respective texture folder.
I mean, that's what BodySlide does, it swaps current mesh in the folder with the one you tweaked, and bam, you got a different body. So seeing this like that, i'm a bit baffled what does even .esp do
>>339201079
You better start posting once your question is answered.
>>339200556
As in girls whose feet don't touch the ground?
No.
this guy here >>339201494 , as well as >>339200785, are everyone on this board so fucking ambiguous? What should i get banner for? What should i start posting, or what answered my question in your opinion? protip: it hasn't even begun being answered.
also, >>339201749
I reallt think there are some...
>>339202014
Shut the fuck up and post muscle girls or don't bother making a thread at all.
/v/ isn't your fucking tech support
>>339202453
well, you certainly aren't no ones tech support, that's for sure. this here is a swf board, if you want muscle girls then go make a thread on /sexygirls/ or type muscle girls int google.
sigh... how low has this board fallen that one can't even talk seriously about games.
>>339201369
Bodyslide changes the "general" female body. If you want to make just one character use a diffrent body shape you need a esp to do that.
>>339200460
esp files are pretty much packaged versions of "this is what to do to the game" instructions, while the meshes and textures are what you actually see
you probably can't single out piper exactly - all humans use the same two base models, male and female
what you CAN do is get the outfit in OP and give it to piper only, maybe renaming the files so they fit a certain kind of unique armor so there are 0 chances for a copy to be available in the wasteland
none of this needs the .esp files though, what you need is the correct .nif
>>339203421
yeah, that's what Unique Followers' .esp does, it informs the game where the meshes and textures are for the modded actors.
But afaik CBBE and the rest of these body replacers, and they possess .esp just the same.
>>339203587
well i'll be, helpful people, at last. Yeah, i figured that outfits will need to be tailored to suit the bodies, but the question is what do i do with .esps from body replacers when i have a mod that creates somethig akin to custom races for followers. It's Unique Followers @Nexus. cause if i'll keep them both, theywill conflict with each other, i suspect?
>>339203421
So if i wan't all character in my game to have original looks i will need a shit ton of esp files.
Will this cause performance drops?
>>339200556
Yes but the level of hormone and anabolic usage costs a small fortune and chemically they may as well be a male.
>>339204218
Well, you would have to tailor them all yourself so one big plugin would suffice. The problem though is that outfits do not fit automatically to bodies you choose, worse yet, in this game of bethesda clothes actually work like 'layers' of the basic body, they aren't clothes+body models, so you'd either have to modify clothes for each body you create, and somehow save them beside normal clothes, or you'd have boobs/butts/whatever clipping though the outfits on some npcs.
>>339204356
is this your idea of having fun or something?
>>339204759
Not really as I can't stand putting needles in my skin.

>all of the muscle mods make them look like their on roids
Life is suffering.
>>339205623
well, tell me then, when you were braving the commonwealth, how many times a day did you even consider eating food, and, keeping that number in mind, recall how many chems do you burn through in a single day. it's rather suprising that everybody in the wasteland isn't a supermutant by now.
>>339205297
>>339204115
Unique Followers gives you some new folders that allow you to manually put in different body mods onto certain characters.
Just enabling ESP's won't cut it, because the ESP's apply them to everyone in the wasteland.
>>339206709
Yeah... I know. but if i enable both .esp/ not enable any, the bodies are supposedly distorted somehow, like giant arms/ butts/different.part.of.body, either due to human race modifications conflicts, or, when not enabling them, due to imcompatible... skeletons, i guess? i don't know. shit, playing with mods is sometimes more trouble than it's worth...
>>339207114
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're meaning by "supposedly".
When you install the mod, it's giving you those distorted skeleton issues?
The basics of that mod as I understand it from Skyrim is you're placing the texture files for Body and Hand to the "[character]body" folder.
There should be like 3 files for body, and 3 for hands.
If you have the textures correctly set up, then you gotta go do the .nif files over in Meshes.
This is where your skeleton issues might pop up.
I think there's just one .nif for hands, and one for body here.
That help at all?
hubba bubba piper give me the futa BUSINESS
>>339207908
well, the logic is there.
This is where i basically give out, since i have both meshes/textures in correct folders, but they still need .esps to avoid these skeleton problems.
And well, that supposedly is because body replacer author said that the .esp HAS to be enabled, else theres about 100% chance of body distortions popping up in game.
My understanding of game physics workings ends here, so that's the limit how well i can describe the problem. basically, i want two different bodies in-game, placement of which won't be a problem. however, .esp that somehow prevent their respective body meshes from becomming a mangled mass of polygons conflict with each other, as they edit the same features in-game (Human Race, whatever that is exactly).
>>339209087
If you're loading two esps, then the one loaded last in the load order will take precedence when it comes to conflicted files. I don't have Fallout 4 and haven't read this mod's description, but I'm it might be what it's saying is that you have to load this mod after any esps for other body models.
>>339209743
The thing is, though, i will prolly need both... ummm... settings? for both bodies to work correctly, since my understanding of these esp is they're something akin to physics and morphing problem resolvers... aaah... maybe it'll be easier to just make piper as another creature, not human, to keep both esp settings up... but that's so much fucking work i might as well do it nearly from scratch...
ok, fuck that. i'll ask some modder if having 2 versions of human race activa simultanously, and if not... well, might actually publish a first mod if this keeps up. ok guys, thanks for your input, and good night.

>chemically they may as well be a male.
>when girls do it, it makes them guys and its gay
>when guys do it, they're still guys and its still gay
INSECURE SEXUALITY MUCH? LOL
is there a bouncy titty mod yet? I beat the game with the dad character last year and I was waiting for good titty mods to replay it as the mom. I can't believe a 2015 game doesn't have a feature that was on the fucking sega saturn in 1996.

is that a penis????? moar!!!!!!!!!!
Esp files are plugins that actively change game data.
Loose files in folders such as /textures automatically override the default files stored in the same file structure in the relevant .ba2
I wish there was a mod that disabled my character voice and always kept me in first person mode when I'm talking to them. Until then I have yet to finish the game.
>>339200460
Does this game have a lot of potential for mods?
I might download it again if I can change everything about it.
>>339213912
Seems like a really simple mod to make.
But honestly, this is why I'm not playing F4 until 1 full year's passed after the CK is out. Gotta wait for the good shit.
>>339200556
>>339213912
1. There is, on PC anyways. Check the Nexus
2. Disable "cinematic dialogue camera" in the settings to stay in first person in dialogue.
>>339213912
I am almost 100% sure that that was one of the first mods made when the game came out.
>>339213968
No. The modding scene is fairly dead already.
>>339215201
>Hundreds of mods before the CK was even out
>"dead already"
>>339215632
>>339215201
I don't think any of these bethesda open world games even have a dead modding community, i bet even morrowind's is still kicking.
>>339215959
It would be a lot better if ign didn't nuke the mod site.
>>339214803
Very nice.

I saw a documentary on fans of female bodybuilders. They were all really awkward, weird people. A lot of them were not in shape, and seemed incredibly bizarre.
>>339219465
>>339219489
these are good
I'm talking 1% percent fat type of ripped
There's absolutely nothing feminine at that point
>>339219667
>>339219489
>>339219465
There's a limit to how bulky/ripped a woman can get before looking like a man
>>339219465
Where the fuck are her shoulders, literally two cloves of flesh are covering her shoulders.
>>339219897
Here they are.

Well of course the bodybuilder competition body is awful They have that disgusting spray tan shit to hide their dehydrated skin.
Off season they can look very nice though.
>>339219812
This is true

Well I'll never find a good mate anymore... Thanks for setting my standards too high.
Also Ariel Khadr has the best butt
>>339220280
Never ever
>>339200460
That is disgusting as fuck what the fuck is that? Are they going to allow nsfw mods like this on the xbone?
>>339220409
She makes a pretty good Jade too

You think anyone thinks I'm a failure because I go home to piper at night!? Forget about it
