I am moving this portion to a separate article in an effort to clean up the mod description.
The way Skyrim works, when actor is not wearing anything in their 'BODY' slot, they are 'wearing' their naked body mesh.Which is defined by the 'NakedTorso' ArmorAddon portion of their 'NakedSkin' armor, defined either on their NPC record (custom body) or on the Race they belong to (default body). In particular, in case of custom-bodied modded-in NPCs, that body mesh would be included as part of their mod, and it would be a mesh built with whatever slider settings the mod author felt suitable. Some mods might include a BodySlide preset for that body, but a lot unfortunately don't. Any armor/clothing meshes that go onto various parts of the body (belts/stockings/panties/corsets, sleeves, shoulderpads etc) are not going to fit well unless they are built to the same preset.
Now if you look up the mesh of any 'BODY' slot armor or clothing, you will see that, unless it completely covers the NPC ankle-to-neck, it will include the 'naked torso' mesh - which, when equipped, will replace the NPC's own body mesh. And since, for a given armor/clothing set, all items are typically built to the same preset, once the 'BODY' item is in place, everything else fits as well... until BODY item gets removed.
So, say you got your squeeze in a fine lingerie getup: bra, panties, garter belt, stockings... And you set her slot handler profile to remove the bra (body slot 32) and panties for the sex scenes, while the rest stays. Scene starts, and suddenly her belt and stockings are either clipping into the body or look 3 sizes too large. This is because you removed the 'BODY' slot item (the bra).
Thus, what are your options if you want the bra to go, but the rest to still fit?
Option 1: if you have access to that NPC's custom body preset, is to build a set of lingerie to that preset in BodySlide - this set will now fir that NPC and her alone.
Option 2: you could build your own custom body for this NPC in bodyslide, and save it as a preset - then build clothes to that. Again, those clothes would only fit that NPC.
Option 3: If you have most of your lingerie built to a certain preset, and don't really care about retaining the NPC's custom body shape during FG scenes, you could have her wear an alternate 'naked'; body - which is exactly what 'Body Nude' is.
Here is an illustration of how it works, featuring lovely Liss from 'Maidens of Skyrim' by LamaKreis
A: Liss in her 'Natural form'. Ok, not entirely cause she is by default weight 0, but here is set to weight 100. She uses 'The Nordic Bombshell' (TNB) body. and Demoniac skin.
B: Although TNB body is quite delightful, I like the more conservative CT77 preset. Here, Liss is dressed in some CT77-built lingerie. Everything fits perfect cause the bra item is a body mesh replacer item.
C: As soon as you remove the bra, the voluptuous TNB body comes back with a vengeance, turning the rest of the outfit into a clipping mess.
D. Solution! Here, Liss is wearing the "FG Slot Handler Body Nude" item. It tones down her curves to CT77 while concealing none of them, and makes other CT77-built pieces fit once more! Note also that her steamy Demoniac skin is still there - the Body Nude will adopt whatever skin texture the girl has while naked.
In this mod, I include the Nude Body, and it is not really accessible save via console or 'AddItem'. Rather, on 'Player' and 'Female NPC' slot pages, there is a check box: 'Equip Nude Body Item'. If checked:
If Player / NPC is female, DOES wear something in their BODY slot, and the BODY (32) slot is not excluded from stripping, FG will automatically equip 'Body Nude' on the actor after the worn gear is stripped. And at end of scene, it will remove Body Nude from Actor
I also include BodySlide files that will allow you to build Body Nude mesh to whichever preset you like.
If you like the concept and want Body Nude as a craftable/manually equippable, you can grab Daedric Chainmail armor mod, there is something called' "Daedric Chainmail Body Nude", which is basically the same thing.
