        Here's a video tutorial by Gopher on how to install body mods and BodySlide with the Nexus Mod Manager.

        Made for Fallout 4, but works for Skyrim as well.

        • []Download and open the archive with 7Zip, and extract the 'CalienteTools' folder to Steam/SteamApps/Common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data.[/]

          []After you're done, the executable "BodySlide.exe" for you to launch can be found in: "Steam/SteamApps/Common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data/CalienteTools/BodySlide"[/]

          []Download and install the archive to Vortex like you would do with any other mod and enable it.[/]

          []Make sure your Vortex deploys correctly by clicking the "Deploy Mods" toolbar button in the "Mods" section.[/]

          []In the dashboard go to "Add Tool".[/]

          []In the "Target" field, choose the "BodySlide.exe" file from your game installation's real data folder, NOT the Vortex mods folder: "Steam/SteamApps/Common/Skyrim Special Edition/Data/CalienteTools/BodySlide".[/]

          []Install any BodySlide addons such as body mods and outfits to Vortex as well.[/]
