ZaZ Animation Pack 9.2 - Skyrim Special Edition conversion
!!! Script fix at the very bottom !!!
!! ZaZ Animation Pack 9.2 is NOT backwards compatible and cannot be used to satisfy a dependency on any version of ZAZ 8 !!
(Thanks to Talesien for pointing that out)
This is not my mod. ZAP was made by ZaZ, XaZ and t.ara over more than
a decade. All I did was convert version 9.2 so it runs on Skyrim SE,
and fix a handful of files that were already broken in the original.
The original is here and you should look at it first:
https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/23102-zaz-animation-pack-zap/
WHAT THIS IS
ZAP is a framework and animation package. It does nothing on its own.
It is a modder's resource: furniture, restraints, animations, poses
and building kits that dozens of other mods depend on.
Both body versions are available, same conversion, pick one:
CBBE-HDT
UUNP-HDT
WHAT WAS CONVERTED
2002 .hkx 32-bit packfiles, Havok tagfiles and XML -> 64-bit
6548 .nif BS 83 -> BS 100 (CBBE, 6540 in the UUNP build)
.esm already shipped as Form 44 - left untouched
Every hkx and nif was checked after conversion. No failures, no
truncated files.
WHAT WAS FIXED ON TOP
Four normal maps ship as 0-byte files in the original pack:
Textures\ZaZ\002Wood\BedWood01_n.dds
Textures\ZaZ\002Wood\nobleBedWood01_n.dds
Textures\ZaZ\018Beds\BedWood01_n.dds
Textures\ZaZ\018Beds\nobleBedWood01_n.dds
Empty normal maps make the wooden beds render with broken lighting.
Rebuilt from the diffuse textures beside them, so the relief follows
the actual wood grain instead of being flat. Same format and
resolution as the originals.
Three leftover 0-byte working files were removed. Nothing references
them - I checked every mesh and the plugin:
Leggings_Heights222222.dds, Leggings_Heights2222222.dds, ps366F.tmp
LEFT AS FOUND
Two meshes are in Gamebryo 20.0.0.5 (Oblivion) format and cannot be
loaded by any version of Skyrim. They were already dead weight in the
LE release and I left them alone rather than decide for the authors:
...\ZaZ - Clutter\...\artrapspikepit01OBLIVION.nif
...\Zaz - Prison Pack\prisoncellchains01.nif
REQUIREMENTS:
A behaviour engine - any one of these:
FNIS SE https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3038
Nemesis https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/60033
Pandora (Recommended) https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/133232
XPMSSE skeleton (or your skeleton of choice)
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1988
SexLab SE - listed as a requirement by the original mod.
The links in the original readme pointed at the old Skyrim LE Nexus
and no longer apply. The readme inside the archive has been updated.
ADULT CONTENT WARNING (from the original readme)
THE ZAZ-ANIMATION-PACK IS A FULLY ADULT ORIENTED MOD.
This mod may contain full nudity, BDSM, fetish and sexual content.
Don't download it if that is not your taste or you are not allowed to.
This is t.ara's work, not mine. The original page states that the
content may not be used or redistributed without express permission.
I have sent t.ara a message about this upload. She has not been active
on LoversLab since September 2025 and the SSE version announced on her
page has not moved since 2022, which is why this conversion exists at
all.
If t.ara objects, this comes down immediately - no discussion needed,
just say the word. Same goes for any of the other authors in the
credit list whose assets are in here.
Do not make money with this content. That was t.ara's condition and
it is a good one.

FIXES
----------------------------------------------------------------
Whipping Script
There is a second download here, "Whipping System Fix". It is a
1 MB patch, not another copy of the pack. Install it after ZAP 9.2
and let it overwrite, then run your behaviour engine again.
It fixes the papyrus log spam from the whipping system - a property
in zazWhp_NPCscript still asks for a class that was renamed away, so
it never binds and the error repeats forever. Comes from the original
pack and is in the LE version too.
BODYSLIDE
The slidersets shipped with the CBBE slider list of the time, 55
sliders where CBBE SE has 137. The missing ones were exactly what
heavy presets drive, which is why clothing didn't follow them. All
85 sets were rebuilt against CBBE Body Physics and refitted.
Not perfect - a few parts are slightly stretched and some don't line
up exactly. They work with modern presets now, which they didn't
before.
----------------------------------------------------------------
KNOWN ISSUE - HDT CHAINS
----------------------------------------------------------------
Chains, cuff chains and the dangling jewellery don't move. They hang
static instead of swinging.
Inherited from the LE original. The meshes still carry the LE physics
identifier "HDT Havok Path" where SSE needs "HDT Skinned Mesh Physics
Object", and the physics configs are Havok packfiles from HDT-PE,
which SMP can't read at all. So nothing ever gets attached.
114 meshes are affected - chains, cuffs, collars, ragdolls and the
soulgem jewellery. Renaming isn't enough, every one of them needs a
new SMP config, so I'm writing a tool for it. No date on that.
Nothing breaks in the meantime, the items just don't swing.

Whipping Script/System Fix
What's New in Version 1.0.1
Released
Added the BodySlide update for the CBBE build.
All 85 slidersets rebuilt against modern CBBE SE, 55 sliders before, 139 to 145 now. Clothing follows heavy presets again.
The UUNP build doesn't need it. Main pack unchanged, links are the same file as before.
- Pick ONE body version, CBBE or UUNP. Do not install both.
- Install with Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
- Activate ZaZAnimationPack.esm in your plugin list.
- Run your behaviour engine and let it patch. Run it again after
every animation mod you add or remove.
Not a light install - roughly 19 GB unpacked. Check your disk space
before you start.
Upgrading from the LE version: remove the old one completely first.
Do not merge the two.
