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
- Skyrim Special Edition
- SexLab SE — Sex Animation Framework v1.66c (SexLab.esm)
-
Devious Devices SE (The 5.2 Version) OR Devious Devices NG — doesn't matter which, as long as you have Devious Devices - Assets.esm -
ZAZ Animation Packs for SE (ZaZAnimationPack.esm) -
Heretical Resources (11-03-2017), v1.51 (Heretical Resources.esm) - A behaviour generator — Pandora, Nemesis or FNIS. Run it after installing, or everything will T-pose. (I Recommend Pandora)
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
forZap7AndTUFPvariant of ZEP with this. That build ships no meshes or animations and requiresTaraUltimateFurniturePack.esmas a master. This conversion is based on the full version.

missing link to original mod/ thread
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.
