How to make a Pure Waifu
First, your race:
- Install ECE - ECE adds lots of sliders and other functionalities.
- When using ECE you probably want to be using the ygnord race it adds since you can customize its meshes and textures easily
- The paths for those are "meshes\actors\character\ygNord" & "textures\Actors\character\Enhanced\Female". Put your custom stuff in here.
- ygnord also comes with some decent face and body textures
- Find a skeleton
- Skeletons live inside all of us, even you're waifu. They are made up of bones and animations control these. They are also what armors and body meshes are rigged to.
- You or other modders can scale skeleton bones which in turn scale everything rigged to them. When making a loliwaifu this is really important(for DFC, thin thighs, big head etc) so find a suitable skeleton.
- Find body meshes - My 2012 archive has some but I prefer to use these undies or Bagserk's bloomer's port you can find in Xvision Children if I'm not using the one in the x117 mod.
- When installing underwear meshes make sure you install the texture folder normally, not in the ygnord folder. If you don't the mesh will turn up purple in game.
- There are two popular body mods, they are 'UNP' and 'CBBE'. They vary in shape and their UVs are different so depending on what body you go with you have to install correct textures or you'll get weird seams. It's worth mentioning some old CBBE bodies need older CBBE textures as the UV was changed in future updates.
- ECE comes with a headmesh that works for younger characters but there are variants around.
- Find textures - I use Lovergirl or these
- _n.dds textures are normal maps, it's best to use smooth ones for young characters instead of 'detailed' or 'muscular' normals.
- Install hair mods - You can find all of them here on the /tesg/ website.
- Make sure you get the Precache Killer or your game will crash when you open the showracemenu.
Now that you have the essential assets install you can type 'showracemenu' into the console and get to making you're waifu. Good luck.
