You should be fine. Draspian is correct that the only big concern would be SKSE plugins but if you are already running 1.6.640 then you are fine. You might have some locational conflicts with your mods and CC, but I imagine there are patches for whatever you use. Again, I would backup saves just in case, but CC should be safe to add to existing games.

I don't imagine it would break mods or saves, but you could back up your saves and just give it a try. Your mods should be safe if you are using a mod manager, but if you aren't you might also back up your current Skyrim installation.

If you aren't wanting to just fully switch over to SAM, I would say probably no (the long answer would be that you possibly could, but it would be complicated and require editing SAM and the followers). Honestly didn't know there were any followers that required SAM. SAM on SE is almost the same as it was on LE at this point, the morphs are added into RaceMenu with another mod. You can actually use SOS (kind of) with SAM, which might be what you want if you are wanting SOS features with SAM body (SOS addons have to be patched to work with it, but anything other than those and SOS refits should be fine). If you haven't already started a save I'd say to just try SAM out, and if you need any help with it ask; there's a lot of people here more knowledgeable than me so I'm sure you'd get good answers. If you haven't found it yet, the Discord invite is at the top right next to the Youtube and Twitter links, and there's also the little Discord widget in the bottom left.

I'm not sure what you mean. LE or SE/AE? Can you post a screenshot of what's happening or does it just look like the body is still vanilla? By "without mesh without texture" do you mean the feet are fully invisible or just purple/missing texture? If you use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex, make sure nothing is overwriting SAM. Without knowing more about what's wrong I don't know what else to suggest.

I took a quick look at it and there's a couple of things immediately. Body S V1 has two SAM bodies in it. Gloves and GlovesH have the HIMBO-SAM conversion body instead of the SAM hands. The others seem fine. But I also can't tell if something is going wrong after you've built it in BS. Is the body disappearing only when you equip a certain piece? What part did you skip exactly from the tutorial? I don't know what would happen if you didn't at least conform to sliders, HIMBO makes use of .tri files as well obviously so you might want to at least build the morphs even if you don't fix the clipping in Outfit Studio (3B in the tutorial, conform selected; and 3D, making sure to select build morphs).

I'm not sure what you mean about not needing to run Bodyslide? You're wanting to refit to SAM right? You'll need to build it in Bodyslide after making your Outfit Studio changes to export the actual files. If you haven't done any refits before, there's a guide that's really pretty thorough.

I haven't personally used this AIO version (and am currently having the issue others had with the download failing so I can't check it), but nothing has changed for the AE update that should cause this to not work. Are you using a mod manager? I know it's a little obvious, but do you maybe have something loading after these refits that would overwrite them (high poly body for example)?

To my knowledge the refits in the High Poly body also cover the expansions! I haven't really played recently because I got bored part way through installing mods again, but I believe infiniteone's mod is the most current (and requires the SavrenX mod updated by Kija).

Yep, when you click download the SE versions are labelled. Briarhearts are the only thing not covered in those refits, but this mod provides textures and links to a refit for them. Kreis' also covers everything outside of CC, the uploads were just split into armor class and DLC, but someone else posted an AIO version. And if you do want to cover Creation Club armors, there is a CC refit here, and on the Nexus. If you wanted to use the pants one, you could probably rename the files to turn it into a replacer, it'd just be kinda tedious. I think there was also an xEdit script or something that let you make leveled list changes easily but I can't remember what it was.

If you're using the High Poly body, it comes with vanilla refits. If you want skimpy, Kreis' refits are also for SE. I think there's probably more spread through the download section that I can't think of right now, but there's definitely refits in there for SE!

Without the SAM Racemenu morphs you won't be able to adjust that in game. I guess you're probably not using SKSE if you aren't using the morphs/Racemenu? If that's not the case you could use one of the two versions of SavrenX Schlong of Sam Light that are available, they'd give you the SoS MCM which if I remember correctly let's you scale. If you are avoiding SKSE, or something else that prevents you from using either morphs or the latter, you'll have to do something outside the game. You can maybe use Bodyslide/OutfitStudio to adjust the size? I've never done anything besides very lazily refitting armor in there, but I know folks use it to create HIMBO and CBBE body presets, so I assume you can still use the morph sliders there to adjust to the size you want (and just save over the original?). Might need to ask someone else about that.

How do you have so much free time that you can make a fake account to defend homophobes/troll on a site who's majority of users are gay? Literally no fuckin' reason to remove gay interactions from the game other than disliking gay people. "Roleplay" is a bullshit excuse, you wanna "roleplay" being straight? Don't accept advances from same-sex NPCs. The description for the mod reasoned it was for folks who liked wearing the amulet, so why not just remove the marriage dialogue altogether, or make an alternate amulet without the script? Because it was the "gay" dialogue that upset him. And what's the reason for removing the ONLY gay couple from the game? Roleplay? Doesn't affect the player character. Realism? Guess what, LGBTQ people didn't just suddenly appear in modern times. He rightfully got called out on being homophobic, there was no legitimate reason for those mods to exist and the timing was obvious. He then threw a fit and changed his Nexus profile to complain about people being mad that he had "different opinions." The irony in this bit is just... 👌

Hello and welcome!

It is a really fun game to play, but a lot of people (myself kind of included) have/had issues in particular with the story (and the player character) and I guess what I'd say is further simplification of role-playing systems. If i remember right there was also some lore consistency issues that upset some people. air is right, it really did pretty well and I think mostly you see a lot of long term Fallout/hardcore RPG fans who were disappointed. FO4 has a much broader appeal than what would've satisfied that group.

His face in the first shot really got me giggling. 🤣
