About this mod
Allows you to select a unique body mesh and skin textures for the player in RaceMenu. Designed for compatibility and ease of use. Also includes custom example assets for creating a CBBE 3BA femboy.

This mod allows you to select your body mesh and skin texture using sliders found in the Body category of RaceMenu, allowing you a whole new level of customization. Intended uses for this mod include selecting different muscularity or testing out different skin texture mods. This mod also serves as a tentative replacement for Unique Character while minimizing mod conflicts and maximizing ease of use.
0 on the sliders will revert your character to default skin. Number 1 in the sliders uniquely allows you to add a unique body mesh in the same format as Unique Character, while slider options 2-4 use your default body and an alternative texture. Currently, the bodies skins included in the Selector are:
- Female Skin 01: dw's Vaginaless CBBE 3BA body with Zeroed Sliders and breast physics removed, and my custom edit of Reverie Skin for femboys. Meshes found at /meshes/actors/character/unique/female while textures are found at /textures/actors/character/unique/female
- Female Skin 02: Reverie Skin with Hardened diffuse and Muscular normal maps. Uses default body mesh. Textures found at textures/aixbodyselector/skin02/female
- Female Skin 03: The Pure Skin with normal maps for small breasts. Uses default body mesh. Textures found at textures/aixbodyselector/skin03/female (I messed up the image description above, the skin is the Pure instead of Diamond)
- Female Skin 04: Mature Skin with mostly default options. Uses default body mesh. Textures found at textures/aixbodyselector/skin04/female
- Male Skin 01: Currently empty. Not sure what would require an alternative male body, feel free to suggest. Requires a body mesh to be located at /meshes/actors/character/unique/male and textures located at /textures/actors/character/unique/male
- Male Skin 02: Svein's SOS skin from Vobla. Uses default body mesh. Textures found at textures/aixbodyselector/skin02/male
- Male Skin 03: Sakhr's SOS skin from Vobla. Uses default body mesh. Textures found at textures/aixbodyselector/skin03/male
- Male Skin 04: Currently empty. Uses default body mesh. Textures found at textures/aixbodyselector/skin04/male
As you can see, I did not dig around that much for male body assets to include. If you have suggestions for open source male body meshes and textures to include in this mod, please tell me.
In order to use your own skin textures, simply navigate to textures/aixbodyselector/ folder and replace the textures you find there with the textures you want. You must include the full set of textures in the folder: diffuse, normal map, specular, and subsurface textures for head, body, and hands.
If you want to use this mod to test skin textures and find the number of skin slots insufficient, you can replace skin textures while you're in-game (even if you're using MO2) and it will show up.
RECOMMENDED MODS
While RaceMenu and SKSE are the only hard requirements, to get the most out of the included assets, it is recommended you also have the following:
- OBody NG - This mod lets you simply build every body and armor with Zeroed Sliders and then change Bodyslide Presets on the fly in-game. Essential for making use of the included femboy body and skin.
- CBBE 3BA - The most supported female body mod on SSE. All the female skins included with this mod are for CBBE. If you are using another body mod, you will simply need to replace the included textures with your own textures of choice.
- The New Gentleman - Frequently abbreviated to TNG. The new and more stable replacement for Schlongs of Skyrim.
- Androgyny Bodyslide Preset - The Bodyslide preset I use for femboys. A bit of adjustment to the crotch area is needed to prevent the body from clipping through the schlong, I may include an adjusted version of this preset in the future.
- Pronouns - Necessary if you want to use a female body and skin to create an androgynous male character.
- Reverie Skin - This is the base skin I use, which is why 2 of the included female skin textures are simply variations of Reverie.
LOAD ORDER & COMPATIBILITY
This mod does not make any edits to vanilla files or records, so you can place it anywhere you want in your load order and it should be compatible with 99% of mods. There are, however, some concerns with other mods that also do dynamic texture replacements on the player. This will not break your game, but may result in neck seams.
- Racial Skin Variance - Install the version of this mod that does not touch the player character and you should be fine. Otherwise, I'm not entirely sure what will happen because I don't use this mod.
- Proteus - I haven't really explored all the functionality of Proteus. I just want to note that Proteus will not detect your alternate selected skin and body if you are pasting your character presets onto NPCs.
- Unique Character - Unnecessary if you're using humanoid races. This mod intentionally uses the same mesh folder as unique character so most mods that support Unique Character should also support this mod, but the texture folder structure is slightly different (I didn't use separate folders for head/hands/feet/etc). Let me know if there are features from Unique Character that you want and I didn't include in this mod.
- Wet Function Redux - Should be fine if you are only using variations of your main skin mod. If you are switching between different skin mods (e.g. switching from Reverie to Diamond Skin), you may experience seams.
- Pumping Iron/other muscle mods - Not sure, I don't use them, but should be fine if you're only doing variations of your main skin.
- Pregnancy mods - Some pregnancy mods switch normal maps on the fly. Should be fine.
