The Body SE is the offspring of The Body 2.5 featuring multiple changes and improvements.

Modding resources link now includes The Body SE Body Type Edits 3ds DevKit (TBSE_BTE_DevKit).
Check the Files tab for the kit and the mod itself (The author for both is Red).

Features:
– New body type/shape based on The Body 2.5 Type 2 shape.
– Anatomical corrections and various shape improvements (compared to The Body 2.0|2.5).
– Greatly improved geometry and animations.
– FF style -friendlier- skin appearance.
– Hands/feet skin depigmentation on darker tones.
– New body hair options.
– New SFW underwear.

Keep in mind:
– Not all body hair color/skin color combos look -pretty-
– Neck seam is still there. Just like vanilla.
– Au Ra skin shader is now the same as the rest, meaning scales specularity and glossiness values are locked.
– The Body 2.0(not 2.5) skin/scales mods will have to be updated to work with The Body SE. Outfits/3D mods will work just fine.
– Will appear symmetrical on Vanilla/The Body 1.0|1.5 stuff.
– All the NPCs will appear to be using SFW underwear. The reason for this decision is kids characters.
– Flaccid- Smallclothes, Erect- Emperor’s.

Technical stuff:
– The Body SE has revamped topology (compared to The Body 2.0|2.5), new shape, and weights.
– Uses Hrothgar shader (don’t even try to switch to something else, unless you know what you’re doing).
– Each face multi/specular texture had to be edited to match the change.
– Skin material parts A and B are being used for skin textures (material A – vanilla/The Body 1.0|1.5, material B – The Body 2.0|2.5).
– The UV layout is the same as The Body 2.0|2.5 layout.
– TBSE Dev Kit included. Has all the goodies (.psd, .max) for creating mods.

How to install:
– Download the .ttmp installer and import it in TT.
– Pick options.
