How to use CBBE Outfit Helper Reference (FO4, Bodyslide & Outfit Studio)

This tutorial will show you how to use the CBBE Outfit Helper Reference Suit with minimal knowledge of Bodyslide and Outfit studio.
This is my first (and probably only) tutorial. I decided to do this because i recently learned how to do this myself and saw other people asking for a video tutorial.
If you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them.

Thank you veeeery much! "It's easier to learn something if a person show it right in front of you and you can repeat all the steps for yourself" And very well done, calm voice, not a single advertisement and no "fishy-flashy screen / bassdrop"-stuff. Amazing :D

Thanks, it's been a long time, but it's really useful for those who are still playing Fallout 4 in 2024, thanks for sharing~

It's so crazy when you have an issue with something and then find a tutorial on how to do it right and you realize you were always two or three steps away from the right answer. Thanks for this fam

I finally understand how to use the Outfit Studio. 😎 Thank you!

I appreciate how easy this tutorial is. Thank you. Your covering fixing of clipping also had the side effect of allowing me to deal with some issues with other armors that I'd long since given up on.

Even today, this is really helpful. support, help and tutorial videos always will be as long as people still play the game, which I do because...mods lol!

Thank you from the future, for making this helpful tutorial when you did :)

Daaaamn, thanks for this. Using "Josie Body" Preset and trying to use commonwealth shorts but it just didnt feel right but this fixes it thanks.

PLEASE POST QUESTION TO THE MOD PAGE, NOT HERE. I'm not the mod author, and really dont know how to fix any problems :( You're more likely to get the help you need if you post on the nexus mod page! Thanks for understanding :)
I missed a step at around the 4min mark, the mod author says when you reload the default reference, you need to check "Merge new sliders with existing sliders" on the dialogue. Sorry for missing this step in the video. This will preserve the helper references custom sliders (like the nipple compensation slider) If you missed it it shouldn't be a big deal, but if your outfit still looks a little odd after using your body preset it would be a good idea to redo it using this step. Again, apologies for the misstep!

Thank you so much for this easy-to-understand tutorial... It turned out to be so simple... subscribed! Hope you will make more tutorials like this and your other video.

Also, a question: if I am editing an armor piece (torso, obviously) which does not have a cbbe body under it at all, do I still have to copy bone weights after deleting the UniBody reference? I mean I clearly don't have to put CBBE body into it, since it was not there to begin with. My question stems from not really understanding what these bone weights are copied to and from.

When I fix the clipping and export to nif, it doesn't actually save. I have the option and no error messages, it just doesn't do it.

Edit: tried it again and it saves and displays the correct version in outfit studio, but the preview in bodyslide doesn't have any of the changes even though I have restarted it several times.

Wonderful tutorial. Very easy to follow, especially, for a noob like myself. I got the area of the armor adjusted to the way I like it, however, the feet extend past the bottom of the footwear and the footwear has high heels. I tied using cbbe with high heels, but that has the angle of the foot at a sharper angle than the footwear. Do you know how I can fix this?

I wish I could hear this video, but even with my volume maxed out I can barely hear it and miss out on too much of it.
