So I've been wondering something.I use HGEC and the Cute Elf mods.So this dainty little elf has man hands.What gives?Even when I set up a wood elf,she had man hands.Is there a mod that actually gives the females feminine hands?

Yeah, HGEC is like that. It uses the same hands as the vanilla male body. Other body mods have custom feminine hands, like TGND, FF or Robert's female - from the top of my head.

Edit: Oops, they're actually the vanilla female hands. Still, yes, they're slightly disproportionate.

Is that so? http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1064803-relz-evehgec-eyecandy-variants-for-stock-and-mods-relz/ comes with female hands anyway.

HGEC uses vanilla hands and feet, as did Exnems which HGEC is based on. This is also the reason you have those big fat out-of-proportion wrists and ankles, and the texture seam you often see at the wrist because the hand texture is on a different file from the body texture.

It’s kind of amusing when you think about it. Everyone always saying “HGEC is the best body mod” and how many of them actually know they have no hands and feet? There was an attempt to introduce Roberts feet the HGEC, but it didn’t seem to take hold.

All of the other female bodies, Bab, Eshme, Fantasy Figures, Roberts, they have hands and feet. HGEC with 12 (is it 12? I’m not sure) different sizes of boobs and no hands and feet…. Each to their own I guess. :tongue:

Hm, so why does my female chars have delicate female hands? Using EVE HGEC. And it comes with a femalehand.nif. Or am I missing something? There's also a hand.nif in that folder that doesn't come from EVE HGEC so perhaps I have another replacer complementing it? :unsure:

LOL. Makes me think of an old Seinfeld episode

My character is designed to be an elven petite (ok, skinny) Bosmer. I tried normal HGEC, and was ok with the smaller hip/cup size options, but she still had farmer hands and feet. So we switchted her to BAB which is very petite and dainty - including her little hands and feet.

Do I understand that EVE HGEC is a different version of HGEC and has more feminine hands and feet? Forgive my lack of expertise regarding mods please.

EVE is a Stock Clothing and Armor replacer for people who prefer the HGEC body. It does overwrite the man mands and feet. The most current version I have of HGEC has optional hands and feet as well.

Well having EVE for OOO,MMM,and Frans,I din't get the vanilla replacer.Will see if that replaces the man hands.And yeah it is pretty funny,you get to pick boob size,etc,but your chick still has those lumberjack hands.

I was a (happy but looking for a change) FF user who switched over to TGND when it first came out and I really like it, particularly for its tapered wrists and ankles, as well as actually feminine looking smaller hands and feet. The mod comes with equippable HGEC hands and feet to wear when you use a regular HGEC outfit so there won't be any wrist/ankle gaps. Useful for bare-armed outfits, swimsuits and the like.

I have v1.21 and don't have those options.I'll open the OMOD and see if they are there.

I just downloaded EVE_HGEC_BodyStock_and_Clothing_OMOD-24078.omod off Nexus. I wanted to verify what I was saying and make sure nothing had changed.

I decompressed the omod and had a look at all the hand nifs. There are six different upper body folders for the different body types, and each folder contains hands. However. After comparing these hands side by side with the vanilla female hands there is no doubt that the hands included with Eve are the vanilla hands. There are slight differences in the uv map, but I mean very slight. It looks like someone tried to neaten it up a little. And they definitely are mapped to the vanilla texture.

I do compliment the Eve team on the wonderful job they did in packaging it all together. Absolutely a first rate job.

Anyway, the hands are not actually man hands, they are female hands, but they are the female hands of the default female body and that is why you have a bit of a misshapen wrist.

My guess is that Exnem maybe didn’t plan on having a clothing and armor replacer, so he made it to be compatible with vanilla, which isn’t really such a bad thing.

Yeah I know.But what my elfgot is indeed man hands..She's a dainty little elf with hands that look like she should bepalming a basketball.I looked at FF,and TGND so far,didn't like em.And I got EVE HGEC and still got the mitts of Marv.
