Natural Bodies of Oblivion (NBO) with Body Morph
Natural Bodies of Oblivion (NBO) began as a simple body replacer, intending to provide a new and enhanced nude female body. It has since evolved into a flexible morphing framework that allows the user to fully customize female characters in Oblivion Remastered. With NBO's Body Morpher extension, players can adjust body shapes and physics not only for the player character but for NPCs as well — all in-game, in real-time.
The Body.
The "Natural" in NBO refers to this new body model that was designed with more natural curves in mind. This does not overhaul the shape of the female body but instead attempts to enhance it with extra curves and fully rigged anatomical elements. The mesh is a custom one, based on the vanilla model, and has extra mesh density around the chest and crotch areas.
Custom Expanded Skeleton.
A new additional skeleton that sits alongside the old humanoid one (not a replacer) that adds bones for physics, morphing and future animation frameworks.
Body Morpher.
If the shape of the default body is not to your liking, you can jump into the body morpher at any time in game using a keybind (default: ,). You can tweak the overall look of the body or go into specific detail in certain areas. You can also adjust the physics values to reduce or increase the intensity of jiggle physics. Every change you make gets saved to a JSON file, meaning these changes persist across game sessions and also get loaded for NPCs.
Optimization.
The body has been completely lodded for all its variants and the textures use vanilla texture compression settings, hopefully preserving the same level of optimization as the vanilla game. The newly added bones for the morphing system, however, may introduce a slight performance hit.
If you want to simply replace the body mesh using NBO's default shape, then you can download the light version of the mod which does not include body morphing functionality.
How to launch:
- Install UE4SS if you haven't already (Do not install the Signatures optional file);
- Launch the game once — without obse_loader.exe if you use OBSE;
- Extract the zip file to your Oblivion Remastered root directory (where the game's .exe is located);
- (Optional) If using the light version of the mod, step 3 is the only step you'll need to follow.
If you use the Game Pass version of the game, you'll need to modify the installation slightly:
- Follow the above steps;
- Navigate to your Oblivion Remastered folder and then go to OblivionRemastered/Binaries;
- Rename Win64 to WinGDK.
As I do not own the game on Game Pass, I have not verified if this works. If there are more steps involved, I will update these instructions.
Keybind Configuration:
- To change the Body Morpher's activation key, navigate to: Oblivion Remastered/OblivionRemastered/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/NaturalBodyMorph;
- Open config.json and edit the "BodyMorphKey" to whichever key you prefer.
Uninstallation:
- Delete the folder: OblivionRemastered/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/NaturalBodyMorph;
- Remove the three NaturalBodyMorph files from: OblivionRemastered/Content/Paks/LogicMods;
- Delete the NaturalBodies folder from: OblivionRemastered/Content/Paks/~mods.
- To uninstall the underwear version of the mod, simply go to the ~mods/NaturalBodies directory and delete all files named NaturalBodies_BUnderwear_P.
