Preview on Au'ra and Viera | Modelled by @grimswoe on twt (who also gave me the idea for this and made the poses)
✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
INFO
This mod adds 8 new bones to the IVCS skeleton, and weightpainting to the torso of different TBSE bodies to make them poseable. It aims at improving the poseability of three muscles: the shoulder blades, the traps (trapezius) and the lats. Whether I will add some more muscles to this is up to the stars; everything else is already quite doable.
Works on male Midlander, Highlander, Au'ra, Miqo'te, Elezen and Viera.
◇ This mod currently only works for the listed bodies, and does not support Roe, Hroth and Lala. I may go back and add this to the HrBody in the future.
◇ The skeleton can and should be used as a standalone. I'd prefer this be used for gposing only, and use regular IVCS outside of it. I cannot guarantee you won't crash if using this in animations, and that was not the purpose either.
◇ The same goes for the original torsos themselves - please keep using them and support their creators. This wouldn't have been possible if not for their work!
◇ TBSE-Q does not come with piercings because I am too stupid to get them to work, sorry.
◇The added bones do not have physics applied to them.
◇ This is listed as Gear and not as a Body Replacement because that's not the intended purpose. I did not make these bodies.
Required mods and recommended priority order:
- The Body SE by Tzarev, for textures (Prio 0)
- any other body type edits (Prio 1)
- this mod (Prio 2)
- any texture edits such as tattoos, scales ect (Prio 3)
- IVCS is not needed for this as my edit can be used as a standalone, but please do not use my skeleton edit during gameplay or with IVCS animation mods. Use regular IVCS2. Same goes for the torsos, I have not tested them in gameplay or animations.
Usage:
- Enable the skeleton.
- Pick your size option, and put on the Emperor's New Robe.
- Gpose away!
Bone List:
'iv_hirohaikin' = Lats, 4x
'iv_kenkokotsu' = Shoulder Blades, 2x
'iv_torappu' = Traps, 2x
You can find them in the 'Spine' section in Ktisis/Brio, and in C+ they'll be in the 'Unknown' section at the bottom (redraw if they don't show up there).
These WILL deform a lot with extreme posing, as any other bone does. Experiment in your chosen posing tool to find good uses!

TERMS AND PERMS
◇ The perms of all original bodies override my own. Please familiarise yourself with them if you wish to make and especially sell a mod based on or utilising mine.
◇ I do not want this edit to be the new standard, or used in place of the originals, but you may utilise this skeleton and the added weights for your own mods.
◇ if using these weights and the skeleton on a mod (e.g on a tank top), weight paint all IVCS bones as if the additional bones aren't there (I made absolutely no changes to any of the original IVCS weights, the new ones are simply on top). This ensures that users who use regular IVCS can still use it and won't have to download another skeleton if they don't wish to. Make it clear that my edit is Purely Optional.
◇ Do NOT use my mods in any hateful, racist or bigoted content, and any NSFW content that is meant to depict minors or animals in inappropriate situations.
