SSE conversion of Zaz Extension Pack v1.08.

Original LE Thread: https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/3398-zazextensionpack/

The original has never been ported to Special Edition — its animations and meshes were all still in Legendary Edition format, which on SSE means T-poses and broken objects. This package fixes that.

What was converted

  • 86 animations to 64-bit Havok — every one verified individually
  • 72 meshes from BS header 83 (LE) to 100 (SSE)

Two repairs beyond the format conversion

Seven animations were not binaries at all. KneelingCane_High.hkx and six others shipped as Havok XML tagfiles with a .hkx extension. The engine cannot load those — they have been broken since 2017, in the LE version too. They were converted along with the rest and now contain real hkaSplineCompressedAnimation data.

Two normal maps were 0-byte files. BedWood01_n.dds and nobleBedWood01_n.dds were empty in the original, so the two wooden beds rendered with no normal map at all. Replaced with neutral tangent-space normal maps at the matching 430×176 resolution.

Neither of these is a porting artifact. Both were faults in the original package that a plain format conversion would have carried straight over.

Requirements

Notes

  • 73 animation entries plus an Alternate Animation set (AAprefix zbx) covering movement, sneak and sprint states.
  • The FNIS list cross-references five animations from ZaZ Animation Pack itself (ZazFurnitureExit, ZaZAPFXCII02B, ZazAPCAO001, ZazAPCAO003, ZazAPCAO016). All resolve against a standard ZAP install — verified.
  • The ESM is still form version 43, unchanged from the original. No issues in testing, but it has not been re-saved in the Creation Kit.
  • Do not use the forZap7AndTUFP variant of ZEP with this. That build ships no meshes or animations and requires TaraUltimateFurniturePack.esm as a master. This conversion is based on the full version.

Install with a mod manager and let it overwrite older ZEP files. Then run your behaviour generator — Pandora, Nemesis or FNIS — or everything will T-pose. Load ZazExtensionPack.esm after ZaZAnimationPack.esm and Heretical Resources.esm. Do not install the forZap7AndTUFP variant alongside this one.
