Q & A

What is the purpose of using the body slider mod with CBBE?

The body slider mod with CBBE allows users to customize the appearance of character bodies in the game, such as adjusting body shapes and adding features like pregnancy to female characters, providing a more personalized and diverse look for characters.

How do you create a new preset using the body slider mod?

To create a new preset, you adjust the body settings to your desired look (such as making a character appear pregnant), then save this new configuration as a preset. You can create multiple presets without any limitations.

What does saving the preset as 'pregnant' do in the game?

Saving the preset as 'pregnant' modifies the female character's body to reflect pregnancy, allowing the game character to display a visibly pregnant appearance when the preset is applied.

Why is it necessary to apply body presets to outfits as well?

Body presets only affect the character's body, not the outfits. If the preset is not applied to the outfit, the outfit may not reflect the changes, such as the pregnancy preset, making the character look inconsistent with the body preset.

How can users achieve a consistent look across the game using body presets?

To maintain consistency, users need to apply the body preset changes to all relevant outfits and body models in the game, ensuring that the character's customized appearance is reflected uniformly throughout the gameplay.

Can you apply different body presets to different outfits?

Yes, users can apply different body presets to different outfits. For example, you might want one outfit to reflect a pregnant body while another may not, but consistency across all outfits requires applying the presets properly.

What happens if you don't apply a preset to an outfit?

If a preset is not applied to an outfit, the character's appearance may not change when that outfit is worn, leading to inconsistency in how the character looks, such as losing the pregnant appearance when wearing a specific outfit.

How many presets can you create with the body slider mod?

There is no limit to the number of presets you can create. Users can create as many different presets as they desire to customize their character's appearance in various ways.

What is the significance of previewing the preset before saving it?

Previewing the preset before saving it allows users to see how the changes will appear in the game, ensuring that the desired look is achieved, such as confirming that the pregnant body preset appears as intended.

Where can users find more mods and guides related to body sliders?

Users can visit the creator's website, gophersvids.com, where they can search for mods by name and filter results to find videos and tutorials related to specific mods, including body sliders and other game customization tools.
