Downloaded armor on mannequin?

[Effie]

I'm preeetty noob at the whole mod stuff, and such.. Something i'm dyiiing to know is how to get armor i downloaded onto mannequins?
Like in the attached picture. Because every time i try to add an armor i have downloaded, the pieces of the mannequins body just becomes invisible :<

Please help! <3

Are you playing a male or female character? If you are playing a female character and trying to put female armors from mods on mannequins, you will get invisible bodies because the vanilla game uses male body as the base mannequins. You need a mod to alter the mannequins to allow them to display your armors you downloaded from mods. Something like this:

or this:

Follow the mod instruction of mod carefully because they are not something you can just download and play. A word or warning: Mannequins in game are quite buggy and may perform a lot of weird actions like wandering off from its place, doing weird pose, it's actually not the fault of the mod that changes mannequins, it's a known bug and Bethesda never fixed it.

I can live with the last thing, but I'm really grateful for your answer! <3

Downloading and installing manually is not a problem, since installing an enb really taught me how to do ._.

 

But again, thanks for the reply. Was what i needed <3

Sometimes custom armour does not have the Mannequin race set on it.

if it isnt just add it.

As i mentioned, i'm really noob at most things in Skyrim atm. So doing what you mentioned would be totally impossible for me :< But it's also okay now, since i just downloaded the female mannequin mod - so my problem is solved :3
