📋 About This Mod

⚠ This mod can be used standalone if you include the hands and feet models and the "core" textures and materials in the main file. Otherwise you will need the original TBSE for it to work. ⚠

⚠ To install the optional textures you must install the main modpack and activate any option in its "Textures & Materials" group. If you select "Omit", the textures will break on some races. ⚠

Reshape Tsar's The Body SE meshes to approximate the old The Body 2 shapes. Includes separate options for midlander and highlander tops (but they share the bottoms) with the following body types, whose previews are the second and third images on this page:

  • []Default: the original TBSE shape.

    []Slim: Mimi's torso edit. The original midlander version can be found here, but I have also included a version for highlanders.

    []Twink: based on TB2. 0 Type 1.

    []Twunk: based on TB2. 0 Type 2.

    []Off-season Twunk: based on a blend between TB2. 0 Types 2 and 4; uses Type 2's frame but has a thicker midsection.

    []Hunk: based on TB2. 0 Type 3.

    []Off-season Hunk: based on TB2. 0 Type 4.

    The fourth image on this page has previews of what each option for the bottoms looks like.

    If you enable the textures and hands and feet in the main file, this mod works as a standalone, and you don't need to separately install TBSE itself for it to work. However, unlike the original TBSE, body hair options aren't split per race, so if you want different races to look different you will need to use Penumbra collections. Arguably you should be doing that already, so consider this a nudge in that direction if you aren't.

    To get just the basic body shapes, all you need to do is install the main file; all of the other mod variants included on this page are unnecessary. But in addition to those, this mod also has optional files for extra skin textures using the old TB2. 5 textures, which have different muscularity than the default TBSE skin that might look better depending on which body type you pick, as well as different body hair options. You might need to do some experimentation to figure out what works best for you, but you can find previews for them from the fourth to the eighth image on this page.

    For mod creators: a Blender devkit can be found in the optional files on this page or on Google Drive.
