📋 About This Mod
READ the description carefully! Below is, in detail, every piece of information regarding what this mod does, how it works, and how to make it work in your game. Failure to read the description will mean that this mod will not work when you boot up Skyrim. I will not provide support if you don't read the description.
The original OBody made by Sairion350 is an SKSE plugin which distributes all of your installed Bodyslide presets to every NPC in the game, including your player character. This means you will have huge body variety in your game, and are no longer stuck to a single Bodyslide preset built in Bodyslide. Not only that, OBody also affects the actors bodies when clothed, having full support for all outfits, either vanilla or modded! The initial distribution is done randomly, but you can manually change the Bodyslide preset of any NPC or your player character ingame, in real time, in one click - and OBody will remember the Bodyslide preset that you applied!
OBody NG (Next Generation) is a new version and a replacement of OBody compiled with CommonLibSSE NG - in other words, it means it works with every current Skyrim version, whether it is SE or AE - no need to hunt for a compatible DLL! Besides that, this version of OBody also ships with its own MCM menu, several bug fixes, a feature to check the current preset applied to the NPC, and with many new customisation options, such as setting presets by race, setting presets to each individual NPC before starting the game, blacklisting presets from random distribution and blacklisting NPCs from being touched by OBody. The OStim requirement has also been removed from OBody NG. This means OStim is no longer needed for OBody to work. Keep reading for more details!

For support regarding installation or troubleshooting, I highly suggest you join the OStim Discord. It's much easier to provide help through the Discord channel than on Nexus.
