I just downloaded HGEC, and it looks like a really good body replacer, giving lots of good options. I also found a great many excellent clothing and armor mods for it, but the main question I have is this: Is there a vanilla/shivering isles clothing and armor compatability patch for it? If not, I'll be using exnem's female body instead.

Thanks a ton, that's exactly what I was looking for!
