Aren't you sick of your combat armor turning you in an big metal brick in dire need of a gastric bypass? Are the big gaps between body and armor bodering you?
This is my attempt to fix it once and for all.
I remodeled the chest, legs and arms to fit the character better. As you can see from the pictures, certain clothings like the Military Fatigues are still going to make you look bigger, but no longer to ridiculous effect.
Next update is going to tackle the small clipping issue with the boots of certain cloths.
Yup. That's also covered.
Crotch and butt protections are in the optional files section.
Xbox version is live at Bethesda.net! Thanks to chucksteel for the port.
In 3rd person, the Left Arm piece is going to clip through your Pip-Boy.
Why didn't I fix it, you say? Well, I spent something like 20 total hours looking for information on the auto-hide function and why it's not working for my model. I sieved through tutorials and forums. Asked questions on the Nexus and Reddit.
It seems that after 3 years of Fallout 4 modding, nobody could figure this out. It's a mystery. A conspiracy. The big secret you're not supposed to talk about.
I now firmly believe that the auto-hide function is performed directly by Bethesda through Alteration Black Magic. If you change the model in any way, you'll end up disrupting the flow of magicka, cutting the connection to Maryland's Mage guild and condamning your character to be cursed by the the Eternal Clipping of Doom.
So, I'm no longer going to look for a solution. I can only hope that one day, a Hero will rise. A true Champion of vitue and courage that will challenge the evil spirits in my model and emerge the Sole Survivor of the encounter. One day, my friends. One day we will emerge victourius and plant the Nexus Flag on the Enemy's wretched corpse.
Until that day, download the PIP-Pad or deal with the clipping.
Rejoice! The Hero has risen and it was me the whole time! I dispelled the Pip-Boy curse and avenged your left arms.
I also fell asleep while doing so and I spent half an hour trying to figure out what the hell I did.
Todd Howard came to me in a dream. He came down from the heavens with his Alduin-skinned jetpack and pointed straight at me. "Sixty", he said. And his voice was the voice of DogtoothCG.
"Oh, my Lord and Savior" I answered, "I do not understand your wisdom!"
"Sixty!", he repeated, his voice like thunder, and a breath of white fire came raging from his mouth.
I rised my hand, desperately trying to protect myself from his wrath. White flames engulfed my hand, but the fire did not harm me. Instead, it flowed and swirled around it until finally, it took the shape of a sniper rifle the likes of which I had never seen before. Fifty thousand polygons encrusted with 8k uncompressed textures. And as I laid my eyes on its powerful scope, I suddenly knew.
I knew that Todd Howard was not pointing at me at all. He was in fact pointing at the Segment/User value of the last Sub Segment of the Sub Segment Data of the BSSubIndexTriShape of my left arm.
"Sixty" I said to myself as everything around me started to vanish. I looked up, and there he stood, as bright as the sun. "Sometimes.", he said, with a sad smile on his face. "Sometimes it just works".

Optional
- Did you recently have one of those dreams where you're standing in front of a crowd and suddenly realize that you're naked?
- Do you hate those scattergun shots 'cause they're coarse and rough and irritating and they get everywhere?
- Does the association of "shishkebab" with "junk collector" make you think of that crazy ex girlfriend?
Yup. That's also covered.
Crotch and butt protections are in the optional files section.
