📋 About This Mod

This mod adds BodySlide files for :

HIMBO

  • []Carved Talisman

    []Kaidan's Armor (his Bracers & Boots are only palette swap of Stormcloak's Officer, which already in HIMBO main download)

    []Ragged Trousers and Worn trousers (which is vanilla prisoner's trousers with Kaidan's body texture applied)

    []Stormlord Finery (The ESL-flagged ESP enables Weight-slider on this outfit.)

    []Wedding Finery

CBBE

  • []Carved Talisman

    []Kaidan's Armor

    []Stormlord Finery

    []Wedding Finery

    []Rosalind Robes

the wedding gowns are super low-poly. Might have clipping with big tits preset. The only way to fix this is to subdivide/rebuild the gown, which... I'm not quite interested in doing lol (unless many people really want it)

Credits

  • []LivTempleton for Kaidan 2, obviously.

    []Mandragorasprouts for Vitruvia, which I used as the base texture to make my own

    []Ousnius, Caliente and the rest of the team for Body Slide & Outfit Studio and CBBE.

  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Kaidan's armor meshes.

📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to run BodySlide and build the refits after installing, or the armors will still use the original meshes.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it overwrite when prompted to ensure the refits take priority.
  • Check that your CBBE or HIMBO body preset matches what you build in BodySlide for the best fit.
