its actually very easy , have you used outfit studio before ill add a few steps on how below,
1, open outfit studio and go to -file- new project 2, for reference use the male body you have saved once open load the mech arm .nif as an outfit 3, delete the cbbe body attach to the mech arm .nif 4, once thats done you should see the arm under your male body and a bit of clipping 5, while the male body is selected hit "Q" then go to the tab labeled "tool" then hover over "current tool" a pop up window will appear and choose "mask2 6, now with the mask took mark all the green dots red that you want to remove from the male body to show the mech arm underneath 7, once you have all the dots you want to remove highlighted red go to the tab "shape" then "separate vertices" a window will pop up asking for a name just name it "test" and once you click ok highlight the new mesh piece labeled "test" it should highlight green separate from the original male body and if your happy hit "delete" 8, so now you should have the mech arm showing with a male body and a big gap between the male body and mech arm now with either the mech arm or body selected you can go to the tab "tool" then "current tool" and use the tools labeled "deflate , inflate and move" to adjust the meshes to adjust the meshes to help make the gap look better 9, once done and wanting to save the work you did go to file --> export and save over an outfit file of another mod that uses the entire bodyslot and once that outfit is equipped it should show the mech arm instead,
that is a messy way of doing it in step 9 because the other option requires the creation kit and people dislike using that sometimes lol
and to get the mech hand to work you do the same steps but with the standard male hand mesh instead of the entire body
and when masking things in step 6 and 7 and it keeps highlighting both arms hit the button on the left of the window that looks like this "olo" it'll stop edits mirroring
anyway i hope that helps and it sounds like a lot of work but its actually really easy to do and takes very little time
Hello! Thank you for this tutorial. I'm assuming following this will work as well for the 1st Person Animations? Also for step 9, which mods would you recommend that uses the entire bodyslot. After doing this, will the male converted arm work for any outfit afterwards? Thank you for your time and help!
esto es solo para fotos? porque nunca logre que funcione, el brazo se ve normal y sobrepuesto con el brazo de metal, alguien sabe como hacerlo funcionar?
is there a way to make the arm compatible with armor or has someone done this? simply changing the slot doesnt work as the original "flesh" arm will still appear in place of the robotic arm, but i am not experienced enough to figure that out, if its not easy, is there any modded armors anyone know is compatible? I noticed the footwear slot often takes the body slot so how is this even compatible?
I am also wanting this info too, love the arm, but would really like to have my character wear shoes/outfits. If anyone could point me to a tutorial or if anyone knows a way to get this working, please lmk?

1, open outfit studio and go to -file- new project
2, for reference use the male body you have saved once open load the mech arm .nif as an outfit
3, delete the cbbe body attach to the mech arm .nif
4, once thats done you should see the arm under your male body and a bit of clipping
5, while the male body is selected hit "Q" then go to the tab labeled "tool" then hover over "current tool" a pop up window will appear and choose "mask2
6, now with the mask took mark all the green dots red that you want to remove from the male body to show the mech arm underneath
7, once you have all the dots you want to remove highlighted red go to the tab "shape" then "separate vertices" a window will pop up asking for a name just name it "test" and once you click ok highlight the new mesh piece labeled "test" it should highlight green separate from the original male body and if your happy hit "delete"
8, so now you should have the mech arm showing with a male body and a big gap between the male body and mech arm now with either the mech arm or body selected you can go to the tab "tool" then "current tool" and use the tools labeled "deflate , inflate and move" to adjust the meshes to adjust the meshes to help make the gap look better
9, once done and wanting to save the work you did go to file --> export and save over an outfit file of another mod that uses the entire bodyslot and once that outfit is equipped it should show the mech arm instead,

Before of all , many thanks for your work and your time.
I`m a little lost with this mod, i have the original mod from Patreon, all is already installed, your mod to.
My question is the following, how i could get the mech arm inside the game ?
Can i include the Mech arm in my CBBE Body present directly without equip an additional item, ? without make the arm in the Mech lab ?
Note: I check the Mech Lab, the basic one, and is missing to, maybe is necessary advace in the game.
Kind regards
Thanks in advanced.
