    Don't you mean UNPB? Your mod only seems to support Sevenbase and UNBP - not UNP. Those of us that use UNP are not likely to consider UNPB to be the same thing.

      No, it's fully compatible with ANY UNP variant in the sense that it will work seamlessly with your existing texture install (assuming you have properly blended), and the lack of a custom skeleton means it will not crash your game regardless of what physics/skeletons you have installed. It is shaped & primarily intended for for SeveNBase, so when considering other UNP variants, shape-wise it will best match UNPB (or other similarly curvy variants). Thus, aesthetically, it will enjoy best overall compatibility with UNPB (or similar), but can be used with any UNP install without any mechanical worries or game-breaking (*some users have even reported using some of my armours that lack an actual body mesh with a CBBE install).

      You are right - I have set the mod title as "SeveNBase and UNPB", and the more recent armours I have completed using the Vanilla skeleton are all specifically tagged with "SeveNBase and UNPB" (the final versions will all have this). I did this as there does seem to be some confusion about exactly how armours & body meshes work together - some users seemed to think that armours automatically "morph" upon install to whatever variant of a body they're using. The "B" signals to them "expect a curvier body", so they're (hopefully) not taken by surprise.

      I'd like to think that even regular-UNP users might like to consider these armours regardless - they're certainly not outside the bounds of believeability or immersion, and for the most part are better weighted than existing alternatives, particularly across the skirt. The lack of a "B" on my images is an invitation to this.

      They're nice looking conversions, but I can't ignore the unnecessary jump in breast size when they're equipped since I'm accustomed to the UNP body. I understand how the term "UNP compatible" is used with regard to shapes that are in the UNP "family" (meaning you can use any UNP textures on any of them), but I feel the distinction between UNP and UNPB is warranted because the geometry is sufficiently different.

      Understandable - some of the earlier meshes are indeed bulkier than they should be due to the fact that I was trying to compensate for the behaviour of the XPMS skeleton (which the later armours tagged with "UNPB" do not contain - they use Vanilla) & in the *VERY* early ones I was battling with a full body mesh (no longer included). These ones will be re-done for inclusion in the final pack. You might prefer, for example, my " Daedric Symmetry" meshes - they're a good fit, & should still be a good visual match for UNP (plus, they're symmetrical).
