📋 About This Mod
This is an SKSE plugin that can be used to launch BodySlide while Skyrim is running so you can make changes and see the results while the game is running. The default key to launch BodySlide is F2 but this can be changed in BodySlideLauncher.ini to something different if you prefer. Also, the 64-bit version of BodySlide will be launched from the default installation location, but if for some reason you have BodySlide installed to a non-standard location you can set the path in BodySlideLauncher.ini as well.
This works best when you are running Skyrim in borderless window mode so you can quickly ALT-TAB between BodySlide and Skyrim. Both outfits and the player character body can be changed with this. If the outfit you are changing is equipped then you won't see the changes until you unequip and then equip the clothing again. It is probably best to make changes in a location without any other NPCs to make sure Skyrim isn't keeping the old mesh in memory if other NPCs might be using the same outfit. Also, if the original meshes are in a BSA file and you are creating the loose files for the first time you may not see changes until the next time Skyrim launches so it can detect the loose files.
In-Game BodySlide Launcher is a utility mod for Skyrim that allows you to launch BodySlide while the game is running, making it easier to tweak body presets and see changes in real time. With 366 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads, it's a niche but proven tool for modders who frequently adjust body shapes.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves time by eliminating the need to alt-tab and relaunch BodySlide repeatedly.
- Community-tested with 366 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads.
- Lightweight utility that doesn't add bloat to your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or BodySlide releases.
- Requires BodySlide to be installed and configured separately, adding setup complexity.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter the game's executable or use script extenders.
For Skyrim modders who frequently tweak body presets and want a more efficient workflow. If you rarely adjust BodySlide settings, this mod offers little value. Skip if you're using a mod manager that already integrates BodySlide or if you prefer manual launching.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Ensure BodySlide is installed and configured before using this mod, as it simply launches the existing tool.
- Test with a simple preset change to verify the launcher works with your Skyrim setup.
- If you use a mod manager, install this mod through it to keep your load order clean.
