Better Bodies & Clothing

Post » Wed Apr 28, 2010 1:38 am

While trying to find massive clothing mods to expand Morrowind's selection, I mostly found small packs containing 1 or 2 things and recolored version of the stock clothes. But I wanted more and thus needed to finally install the Better Bodies mod (been using Better Heads for a while though). My goal is to switch all the races and vanilla clothes to BB.

Here's what I got so far:

Better Bodies 2.2
New Beast Bodies 3.3 clean
Unique Shadow Pack 2.0
Better Clothes 1.1
DarkNut's BC textures
Better Clothes Patch
Better Clothes for TB
IceNioLiv Robe Replacer
IceBradyHurdy Robe Replacer

Now, for the questions:

-Do I need the patch for Better Clothes 1.1 or was it only for 1.0?
-To switch all the stock robes to Better Bodies, using Ice/NioLiv or Ice/Hurdy robe replacer would do the trick?
-Am I missing anything to complete the switch to BB? (for the vanilla stuff)
-Does the differences between BB 1.0 and 2.2 make some old BB clothing mods incompatible or awkward looking?

I think that's all the questions I had. Help on any of those would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure what the Better Clothes Patch does, but I'm not using it and the clothes seem to work fine for me, so I'm guessing it's not really necessary.

You seem to have all the original races already covered in terms of switching over to using better body models. There are other alternatives to New Beast Bodies, but that mod is probably my favorite for accomplishing it's purpose at this point.

From what I can see, it doesn't seem to actually be necessary to switch the robes to fitting Better Bodies, as for the most part, the default models seem to fit just fine, and I don't think the robe replacer needs Better Bodies to work, nonetheless if it's the one I think it is, I'd recommend going with it, because it nonetheless enhances robes fairly well.

To my knowledge, you already have all the Better Clothes covered, I don't think every clothing item in the game is replaced yet with what you have, but I don't know of any mod to change that.

Ah, thank you Selbeth.

About the patch, taken from the readme:
This patch correct the slots for all shoes and remove from the Warnings.txt all "Not able to find Foot part in BC_shoes...".

Does Better Clothes 1.1 have those warning messages?

Yep, I use NioLiv's myself and it's a big improvement.

Also, if you haven't done so, you might want to hunt down Darknut's Better Clothes texture replacer as it is a huge improvement. :)

From the screenshots, the style of the Ice/NioLiv replacer was my favorite. Can't wait to try it. ^^
And I found Darknut's clothes texture replacer right after downloading his creatures textures. His work is amazing.
