How to use BodySlide and RaceMenu (2024)

About this mod

BodySlide:

• Installing
  

(1) - You need these mods:
* BodySlide and Outfit Studio
* XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended
* FNIS (Fores New Idles in Skyrim)
* HDT Physics Extension
(2) - BodySlide overwrites HDT when installing.
(3) - If using NMM, restart it and then BodySlide and FNIS should show up in your "tools".
(4) - When you run BodySlide, you'll need to select which game you are using it for.

• The Basics
  

(1) - Two boxes at top left: "Outfit/Body" and "Preset".
(2) - "Outfit/Body" is where you select outfit (or body) you are building a preset onto.
(3) -Unless you plan on having different bodies for different outfits, I suggest selecting a body. For UUNP you will be selecting "Unified UNP Special".
(4) - "Preset" is where you select bodyslide preset you want to build onto the outfit/body.
(5) - Preview bodies with "preview button". Preview has no physics, so the bodies will look a bit different in game.
(6) - Now that you have selected a Body/Outfit and a Preset, it is time to build.
(7) - Bottom middle there is a large 'build' button. This only builds the chosen preset onto the chosen body.
(8) -Bottom left there is button for 'batch build' which builds the chosen preset onto ALL bodies and outfits.
(9) - When batch building, you can first select which outfits you would like to build and which ones you don't.
(10) - Bodyslide may detect multiple options per outfit. You will have to choose each individually.
(11) - Once it finishes building, you are good to go.
(12) -Do not forget to run FNIS!!! Anytime you install or uninstall a physics or animation related mod, you need to run FNIS.

• Slider Details
  

(1) For Boobs:
* Breast Fantasy & Breast Flatness - how far in our out the breasts are.. their depth sort of.
* Double Melon - this makes breasts very round and have a lot of cleavage.
* Breast Gravity & Breast Height - Raises boobs up and down. Gravity also makes some sagging.
* PushUp - imitateseffects of a push-upbra.
* BreastPerkiness - makes the breasts pointier towardsthe nipples.
* Breast Width- makes the breasts farther apart. Negative values can make some cleavage without breast distortion.
* Nipple Distance- would be wise to lower this by 10-20% if you are adding a lot of cleavage to a preset.
* Nipple Size & Nipple Areola- I usually lower these values for the low weight size. Shouldn't have giant nips on small boobs.
(2) For Body:
* Big Torso & Waist- helps make the upper body a bit bulkier. Negative values can make really petite girls too.
* Belly- Petite bodies should have negative belly value. The 0 value is your average weight. Around 20% for thickgals.
* Tummy Tuck- the amount that the tummy tucks in before meeting the vagin*.
* Hips- Hips should be bigger when the butt and thighs are larger. I never go above 40%
* Hipbone -increased percentages can help smooth out the transition from legs to waist. 10-20%
(3) For Booty:
* Butt Crack - higher value makes the butt cheeks closer together.
* Butt Shape 2- makes the butt sag a little.
* Big Butt & Chubby Butt- Both will make the butt look kinda fat and chubby. Only recommended for huge ass.
* Apple Cheeks- makes the butt go out longer.. kinda like a shelf. I do not recommend higher than 40%.
* Round Ass- Makes the curvature very round. I do not recommend higher than 20%.
(4) For Legs:
* Slim Thighs & Thighs- obviously controls size of thighs.
* Chubby Legs & Legs- will change size of whole leg - thigh, calf, and knee.
* Calf Size & Calf Smooth- size and smoothness of calf (lower leg). I do not usually mess with this.
* Knee Height- changes vertical position of knee to shorten or lengthen the leg parts.

• Tips & Tricks
  

(1) - Using negative values on sliders or even gong over 100% can yield very interesting results. BodySlide has no bounds!
(2) - At the very bottom of the sliders, you will find sliders for various body types. Try mixing them up in various percentages.
