Then you have sliders for “melons”, which is apparently different from “breast size” and “cleavage”. There are unusual options, as well - you can tweak armpit height, for example. Some of the options, like “butt size”, are straightforward. At the same time, you can’t blame anyone for immediately thinking about nudity, given how the mod is presented online: It just also happens to be used in a very specific way by some players. Here’s a distinction that Caliente feels strongly about: CBBE is not a nudity tool necessarily, but rather a body modification mod.
Starting from that basic idea, I decided to work on a body replacement, in order to have a prettier figure to fit the clothes to.” “One thing I love to do in games is to find interesting and pretty outfits for my character, so I wanted to make the default ones look better in my eyes.
“All of the outfits were bulky and formless and not much fun to put on,” the modder said. Caliente views bodies and clothes as a means of expression that “cool guns, powerful statistics, and buckets of gore” can’t account for. “At the same time, bodies come in a lot of different shapes, and people like different things, so I like to be able to provide a way for people to get the looks and variety they want, even if it doesn’t match what I would use myself,” Caliente said.Ĭaliente said that tweaking the character models was important to the modder because it helps with playing dress-up. “I find the proportions to be fairly bulky, with wide shoulders and smaller hips to my taste.” “The vanilla artwork doesn’t appeal to me very much,” Caliente said. The fame is strange…and kind of fun sometimes…but since it’s relegated to an internet name, it’s sort of like having a secret identity.”Ĭaliente initially saw the Skyrim version of CBBE as a way to “fix” the character models. “It feels really amazing to have so many people using and enjoying my work, and I like thinking that I’ve helped make the games a little more enjoyable for people. “The popularity was a little unexpected,” Caliente said. Caliente made it from scratch, using 3D animation programs such as Blender. A programmer with a love for digital art, CBBE was actually the first mod Caliente released to the public. I caught up with Caliente via email to ask about the vast, racy modding empire inspired by CBBE. As of this writing, CBBE has been downloaded a whopping 8.2 million times. CBBE characters spread through the internet with the speed of, well, naked pictures of attractive women.
Created by a modder who (appropriately) goes by ‘Caliente’, CBBE is a large part of the reason people associate “ Skyrim modding” with naked vixens. At the center of this all is a popular mod called ‘ Caliente’s Beautiful Bodies Edition‘, a Skyrim modification that gives players more control over the customisation of female characters.
