📋 About This Mod
Update: I've made a new version of this mod, which includes Unique Player functionality, and allows for custom head textures. It can be found here. I will no longer be maintaining this mod as a result.
There are so many body texture and mesh mods out there now (CBBE and Enhanced Vanilla Bodies) as well as plenty of texture mods (like NUCLEAR Nude), sometimes it can be hard to choose which one you want to use!
I took d_rail1602's Unique Player mod, and extended it to Piper, Cait, Curie, Deacon, Danse, MacCready, Garvey, X6-88 and Hancock. Now you can choose whatever body textures and meshes you want specifically for each of these followers. Simply copy the textures and meshes from your chosen body mods into the appropriate folders and enable the ESP. This is best used with the Unique Player mod, so you can have unique bodies for your player as well as your followers.
The mod was made in FO4edit and should be completely safe. It shouldn't conflict with any other mods.
Installation
- []Install the mod in your preferred way (either using a mod manager, or copy and pasting the files into your Fallout 4\Data directory) []Navigate to \Fallout 4\Data\textures\actors\character\ []You should see the folders CaitBody, CurieBody, DanseBody, DeaconBody, GarveyBody, HancockBody, MacCreadyBody, PiperBody, and X688Body. []For the female followers, replace the body texture files FemaleBody_d.dds, FemaleBody_n.dds and FemaleBody_s.dds with the texture files from your chosen body mod. Replace the hand texture files BaseFemaleHands_d. DDS, BaseFemaleHands_n. DDS and BaseFemaleHands_s. DDS with hand textures if you want. []For the male followers, replace the body texture files BaseMaleBody_d. DDS, BaseMaleBody_n. DDS and BaseMaleBody_s. DDS with your chosen body mod, and do the same with the hands if you want to. []If the Body folders don't contain copies of all six texture files, the game will crash. If your texture mods do not contain replacements for all six texture files, you should be able to use the basegame ones. []Similarly, navigate to \Fallout4\Data\Meshes\actor\character\ and populate the appropriate Body folders with MaleBody.nif and MaleHands.nif or FemaleBody.nif and FemaleHands.nif. []That's it. Enjoy!
