Characters in Skyrim end up trekking through the mountains all day long, battling, freezing... all while wearing armor, shields, weapons... It never made sense to me that women in Skyrim would look like modern, pampered dolls. There are things like 'dirt and blood', but on top of that, adding a 'muscle solution' to Skyrim makes sense to me. Granted, strenght is not all about having defined muscles.
Still... many 'muscle solutions' basically consists of one normal map that applies equally to all female characters in the game. The idea of all women in Skyrim, regardless of origin, occupation, or age, having the exact same body as our PC does not make sense and introduces even more weirdness instead. So... this one mod, to me, is the only one i can ever consider. It seems that 'muscles' will depend on the weight slider of every NPC. And this ends up adding variety. Some will be muscled, some won't. It would be perfect if this variation could be applied depending on character's profiles, where old crumpled grapes won't look like miss universe... but hey... i may end up editing this myself at some point :p.
Thanks for the mod. I will come back to endorse after testing it.
yeah I always play with this mod, especially when I play as a warrior type of character. for now these body types will do but I kinda wish we had that "brute" kind of body type men get when you turn the weight all the way up but for women.
+1 Edit: You can easily duplicate everything in the esp and make it reference your preferred male textures also, i suggest using the cbbe version of this mod (nothings different about it except it has different normals in the folder) since the esp is simpler. Just copy everything you see and replace female with male wherever you can.
I love this, amazing mod! Endorsed for sure! As it has been in my skyrim se load order for a while now.
I do have a question though, it is not a big deal, but, is there a way to apply the muscled tone determined by weight in reverse. I mean 0 to have the best muscle tone while 100 to have the least?
