📋 About This Mod

I always love vanilla body shape and proportion. And I always want a simple and easy (and SFW) option for higher poly vanilla body meshes so you don't need to convert every armor/clothing meshes to be consistent.

I didn't find any (correct me if I am wrong) but I found Advanced Vanilla Bodies - Modder's Resource by LogicRock recently while I was updating my mod Nordic Faces, so I decided to do it myself.

This mod included high poly undressed body meshes for both gender, as well as some of the revealing armor/clothing meshes (e.g. fur armor).

That's it, simple and easy! Plug and Play!

Currently included armor/clothing meshes:

Fur Armor (variant 1 & 2)

Studded Armor

Scaled Armor (both variant)

Ragged Trousers (and the Dawnguard bloody variant)

Compatibility

Other body mods like CBBE, UNP and HIMBO etc. are obviously not compatible. Skin textures for CBBE are not compatible. HIMBO textures may work but not 100% sure. UNP textures should work as long as you have Vanilla Body with UNP Textures.

Armor/clothing meshes mods like Fur Shader Armors or some environment map enabled meshes will be conflicted and you need to decide which one you want to win. I suggest letting those other mods overwrite this mod as the improvement is not that noticeable in gameplay. Otherwise a patch will be needed if you want the best of both worlds.

Recommendation

Nordic Faces - Immersive Characters Overhaul This mod share the same body meshes but not armor/clothing meshes. Also it has hand and feet meshes.

Female Hands Redone This mod has high poly female hands, as well as beast and armor supports.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid community trust with 278 endorsements and over 14k downloads.
  • Keeps the classic vanilla body shape while boosting poly count—perfect for purists.
  • Covers several common armors out of the box, so you get consistency without extra work.

⚠️ Cons

  • Zero compatibility with CBBE, UNP, or HIMBO—if you use those, skip this mod.
  • Conflicts with armor mods like Fur Shader Armors; you'll have to choose which wins, and the author suggests letting others overwrite.
  • Only covers a handful of armors, so many outfits will still use the low-poly vanilla meshes.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who love the vanilla body proportions but want smoother, higher-poly meshes without switching to CBBE or UNP. Also great for mod authors who want a consistent base for their own work. Skip if you're using popular body replacers or want full armor coverage.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager, let other armor mods overwrite this one to avoid visual glitches—the poly boost is subtle in gameplay.
  • Pair with Female Hands Redone to get high poly hands that match the body.
  • For UNP texture users, make sure you have the 'Vanilla Body with UNP Textures' setup to avoid mismatches.
