Install a Skeletonthat is compatible with the required Body Mesh Type and the respective ActorAnimation.

XP32Maximum Skeleton Extended is one the best since it supports almost all ofthe Body mesh types; it also supports BBP(Breast and Butt Physic), TBBP(Tender Breast and Butt Physic) and HDT-PE(HDT Physics Extension) enabled Bodies

After XP32 leftthe modding community Groovtama tookover and the most recent skeleton is called Groovtama’s XP32 Maximum SkeletonExtended aka XPMSE

There are certain pre- requisites that need to be met forthe XPMSE to function correctly; failing to meet these requirements will resultin “Crash to Desktop” (CTD).

This is essentially the body mesh shape that will overlay on theXPMSE.

There are a lot of body shapes available for both Male andFemale actors, this can be confusing at times, listed below are some of theBody Shapes along with a basic description.
