Just drop it in your Addons folder. Also don't forget to install original Xbody1.8.2

https://www.klubexile.com/files/file/2390-xbody-female/

Ok, first tries, checked the look, moved some body settings, run it through a few dozen static poses...

First things first - the abdomen/belly is simply fantastic !   IMO - the best of its kind, if you could use such a word here  

I've always found that area problematic before - too thin, shape too muscular, default sliders could hardly fix it, a combo of hip+ribs+waist from xbody was an efficient solution later but nothing can compare with your look!
Navel - top notch, middle line - top notch, overall shape - top notch. Looks good with normals that have abs, but with normals that dont have them looks even better - smooth and soft - precisely the look I was after but couldn't get close to.

Ass started to live its own life - looks very good
Pussy not looking all "tired" as default, good xD
Shoulders look interesting - haven't checked enough here but I like how they connect, especially from the back.
Forearms look cool when bent. 
I'd prefer for calves to be more defined but overall legs look nice.
For the breasts - imo, areola is too big, but maybe its my texture.
It also seems that geometry right beneath the nipples is too smoothly connected to it, with different shapes the part above looks alright but the one below can look odd. 


XBody sliders paired with cloth adjustments morphs are effective at compensating the incompatibility of wardrobe with the body, alas not for everything (victoria shirt ), but what's important that it does good job for lingerie and bikinis xD

Gonna have to find the balance between usage of FBV-Xbody and yours, unless the cloth will be the reason - because, I'd like to say again, the abdomen is looking fantastic and unrivalled, imo !

Looking forward to test your mod further and more thoroughly.  Thanks for giving it to us for a test drive. You're doing a great job here!

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. It is very helpful and encouraging.

As a general trend, this time I am paying more attention to going backwards than forwards, because I tend to over-feature when sculpting a body.
You can enhance the overall impression by creating distinctive areas, but in this case, I am trying to cut down on features that deviate from standard body shape. As for the calves you noted, they seem to have been victim to this tendency as well.

Shoulders, I always try to improve them and have nightmares. 
They are the most inhuman part of the game's body shape, and like the genitals, they are more than halfway controlled by the weights. So there is not much that can be done with sculpting, but I'm happy to hear that the connection between the torso and the arms, seen from behind, has been improved.

I think your point about areola is correct, given my tendency to prefer larger areolas recently. 
They became massive unintentionally while I was shaping the breasts repeatedly, and I'd like to fix that if I get the chance.

I have been comparing this mesh to a model I used to use with the NSB121.

There is a big difference. The NSB seems to me more harmonious but less realistic: This one is more powerful, so to speak.
The iliac crests seem more pronounced now, and the breasts are more striking. Amazing work,as usual.

I'll stick with this one, of course, although I can't get rid of the gap on the chest at the base of the boobs without expanding the upper chest too much.

Thank you for your feedback.

I couldn't figure out where iliac crests are even after I translated the words into my mother tongue, You know things!

Could you attach the screen cap?

Ok, there you have:

null(There seems to be no solution to the problem of the shoulders btw)

Of course the gap under the boobs can be hidden by lowering the boobs level, but it greatly alters the figure.
In this mesh the lower ribs are quite pronounced, although I don't know if it is intentional.

I'm just commenting on impressions, the overall result is fantastic.

And while we're at it, I haven't managed to fit any dresses either, even the ones with morphs. Maybe I'm missing something.. (but hey, that's how I always have her naked ).

null

@aykekarallo

Thank you, I'll look into it.

And I'm sorry for her being naked because of my modding result, but 

Not having parallel lines between the breasts and buttocks is the starting point for this creation and it is the main cause of the incompatibility with clothing addons. Probably Xbody sliders can help you to have your model wear something by changing body shape itself...

Exactly. But those non-parallel lines are also part of the charm of the body.
Naturally I have tried to correct the clipping with XBody sliders but it altered the original idea too much.

Gonna try to create a XBody Slider for this, have not released a new version because....well not many morphs but seems there are some things that can be added.

Something like this if it works right

Thanks @HDiddy.
I think those sliders would be useful.Although the comment was for this particular mesh, actually that issue is quite common especially in skinny body meshes.

Hey @HDiddy, glad you looked at this blog entry, it will be cool to see this body shape in new Xbody but I think I will do a few more miner changes in this so probably I should be able to release it by the end of this month.
