CBBE & WSCO in STEP Core

[slave2midna]

I noticed that STEP Core uses Better males and WSCO in section 2H. I'm wanting to do a STEP Core build, but when I got this to area I wanted to make sure I got information before proceeding.

 

Firstly, CBBE and UNP body mods don't seem to be listed in any of the STEP installs. No worries, as this isn't always the best of mods. But if someone wanted to install CBBE or UNP in the STEP Core setup - should it be installed AFTER all STEP CORE mods? Or should it be installed during the section 2H process. Specially somewhere after Better Males (B) and before WSCO?

 

CBBE specifically was the mod I wanted to use, but I was worried about how WSCO would conflict as I believe both mods add modification. I dug a bit no the forums, and didn't see anything specific. But I did hear that many people use CBBE and WSCO together and it looks great.

 

Is there is a STEP recommendation for installing CBBE (with no bodyslides, or HDT physics, just the base)?

Is it ok to use CBBE & WSCO? Or should I just use CBBE?

 

If I wanted to add CBBE vanilla armors (just the mod that applies Vanilla Armors to the shape, not skimpy or anything) would it mess up the Core configurations?

 

Thank you guys for the help, I wanted to wait before going any further in the STEP installation to make sure I didn't mess up my install.

The other option is to install the UNP or CBBE version of WSCO in the Optional Files section. If you use a CBBE or UNP body, you may also need to replace some of the clothing and armors so they fit better.

I did see that WSCO does have a CBBE version. So that's good that they work well together.

 

In terms of STEP install though, that means I'd want to install the CBBE Body before WSCO.

 

Assuming I'd want to replace the Skyrim Armors for the CBBE body, would this have a huge impact on the Step: Core build? My main concern is just making sure I install it at the correct time, and don't break my build stability.

The reason I offered the CBBE version of WSCO as an alternative solution is because I believe WSCO and CBBE/UNP are mutually exclusive. If you read the the installation notes in the WSCO description on Nexus, it explicitly states to uninstall CBBE or UNP if you are currently using them. This isn't necessarily the end of the world, though. The CBBE version of WSCO comes with the CBBE body meshes and WSCO custom body textures.

Oh! That makes sense! That's actually awesome. So I don't need CBBE if I use WSCO's CBBE version! Thank you!
