📋 About This Mod
Name: VORB - VadersApps Oblivion Real Bodies Version: 1. 60 Date: 2011/06/13 Category: NPCs Author(s): VadersApp Download : http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=37013 =========== This mod changes the whole body type system in Oblivion. Bodies are no longer made with clothes. If clothes are made for this mod, an infinite number of different body types (included in this mod) can wear then. You are no longer prevented from getting clothing that only fits one size or body type. The Clothes fit to the bodies. A Fat NPC is a Fat NPC with or without clothes, a bombshell is a bombshell with or without clothes :) In this version there are 1000 different body types each available for both male and female characters, for all stock clothes and armor. Every other mod\'s clothes could be easily adapted to this mod, either manually or automatically online by uploading the meshes at my dedicated clothing conversion website http://vorb.nlight.de/. Many conversions are already available there for download. Detailed instructions for manual conversion are available in the Original Post (OP) of the official forum thread at http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1169177-relz-vorb-vadersapps-oblivion-real-bodies/ I will add more clothes and armor in future. Use Wyre Bash v292 or later to make a Bashed Patch with VORB support. All NPCs then will have VORB active. If you have installed animations which support BBB (available separately), BBB is also supported by these bodies and converted clothing. BBB can be enabled or disabled during clothing conversion process if desired. Install ======= 1. Extract the files to a temporary location. 2. Examine the folder structure and make corrections where necessary. 3. Copy files to (install folder)\\Oblivion\\Data\\ 4. Make a Bashed Patch with Wyre Bash. Be sure to Check Tweak Actors and then VadersApp´s Oblivion Real Bodies Skeleton Tweaker Uninstall ========= 2. Delete the files/folders associated with the mod. Features ======== Other body replacers can be removed. Clothing provided with such mods can be converted to VORB. All NPCs automatically converted to a random but specific VORB body type when a mod is added and the Bashed Patch is rebuilt. Each assigned body type remains assigned to that NPC thereafter. Hi-rez skin texture replacers can be used with VORB. Player character and specific NPCS can be given a specific body type. (Requires use of \'FormID Finder\' mod.) Undesired body types can be removed by simply deleting the specific skeleton file (skel_xxxx.nif) and rebuilding the Bashed Patch. Every VORB converted clothing automatically gets BBB. All female NPCs are using BBB walking animations (if installed) without any other mod. Available optional replacers on this site ========================================= V_Female Nude Replacer: V_ArmaCompleteResources Replacer: V_Franscesco Replacer: This replaces FCOM clothes and armor with VORBatized version V
VORB overhauls Oblivion's body system so NPC bodies are independent of clothing, allowing infinite body variety. Clothes fit each body, making fat NPCs actually fat. A niche but influential mod with 288 endorsements and 18,290 downloads, last updated in 2011.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Revolutionary concept that makes NPC bodies truly reflect their weight class.

- Opens the door for endless body customization if modders adopt it.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011 — likely outdated and may conflict with modern mods.

For Oblivion modders who want a more realistic body system and are willing to build a mod list around it. Skip if you want a plug-and-play body replacer or prefer modern, actively maintained mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if any clothing mods are compatible with VORB before installing, as standard clothes won't work.
- Use a mod manager like Wrye Bash to handle load order and avoid conflicts with other body mods.
- Since this mod is old, test it on a clean save to avoid corruption.
