Ok, but I'm assuming that this just means there's more sliders and addons for the male and female body that already exists, but I'm guessing it does not allow you you to invert which base body you're using? As in, I'd like to be able to run a character who's technically registered sex in the game is male, who has a male voice, is spoken to as male in dialogue, is recognized as male in game condition checks, but is based on a female body. Is such a thing possible? Because I've yet to see a male body mod that extends the customizability to the extent I'd like to, even with stuff like new textures, the hands and feet tend to still be larger than I'd like, the neck too thick, etc. So I'd be interested if there's any way to construct a male character based around a female body type. Unless the customization for the male body has been sufficiently improved over any mod I've previously tried.
Though probably possible. I expect swapping the bodies like that would require more scripting than I am capable of. Changing hands feet and neck are especially difficult and tricky because those are where the seams of the body connect. So you're unlikely to see something that does either of those. Especially since I've not seen anything as good as this mod in queering up your character. Even male body mods are extremely limited for this game. I think I've done a pretty good job giving the male body feminizing features in the sliders.
You could make all male characters use the female body type by overwriting a few files. Make copies of the female files and rename them to overwrite the male files. It would take a while there are a lot of files to replace the body and all the clothing. You could also change all the links in the creation kit which would take just as much time. You could possibly go into the creation kit and point the male player characters info to the female body/clothing options. Which seems to me it would be far easier if possible. You might have to create a new race to do it. I'm not sure, I'd have to look at it.
I did try messing about with what I believe was a kind of cross-sex body-swapped race at some time ago. I don't remember it too well, not good at keeping a lot of stuff in my head, and I didn't give the project much time. I made some slight progress, but I remember there was also stuff that didn't work, or maybe it was just a case of the more I tried, the more I realized I had to change additional things. The closest thing to a mod like this is Femboy Race Reborn - Special Edition NN - for Skyrim. Wrong game, but similar engine, so I guess maybe I could crack that open and see if I can copy what they did one of these days.
While this mod isn't compatible with my game setup (for instance, I don't use bodygen), I'd just like to mention I very much admire what you've done, HazeldaBasil. This is super cool, and from what you describe, you really did a complete overhaul. Very impressive.
Thank you. While all features require looksmenu and bodyslide. If you're not interested in the body aspect, the other features should work without them. So the beards and hair should work no matter what mods you have installed. And the makeup and eyebrows will work if you don't have something else modifying the human race form directly. So any mods that add grime, tattoos, makeup, anything in the extras menu in character creation basically, would be incompatible with those changes.
Is there any chance you'd do anything like this with EVB based nude bodies? I'm trying to figure out how to make a semi-muscular femboy character, but male bodies have some limiting thigh, hip, and waist shapes that are exceedingly hard to work with. I've run into the same issue with Skyrim bodies but people have released better support for male related stuff for Skyrim in recent years, Fallout 4 on the other hand has still been a heavy struggle.
A bit of an odd mod but I can see the appeal. Probably would've went with 'Diverse Bodies' as Nexus tends to flag the specific word you used in the mod title. Good luck with the development though, will keep an eye on this as bugs are patched.
