Is it normal that in all recent versions of MNC all vanilla horses are missing their manes? and there is not a single patch, except for the obsolete one from page 123.

no, that AE crap changed how horses work.

   I know this is gonna be an annoying question because it more than likely has been asked a million times, but I really don't wanna spend a few hours looking for it. How do you go about swapping some of the models in MNC with a different model?

most everything is in Data\meshes\MoreNastyCritters

anything not found in there will be in it's stock game location (or still hidden away in the game's bsa files)

   Thanks for the help btw. I think I might be a bit dumb, there is more to it than just deleting the old meshes and dropping in the new ones right?

if you need to add a penis to something there would need to be more work, but apart from that usually not. just rename some nifs and drop them in.

First, I am not native English speaker so that I am poor at English.

When I download 3files(001,002,003) and try to open 001 with 7zip, but the dialog says "unexpected end of data" and can't open the file(actually I can extract that with 7z file but volume is not changed). I guess something wrong way to open 001 file or the file has some problems. Also I don't understand why delete 002 and 003 file while downloaded. pls give me advise

First extract 001 with 002 003 in the same folder. After that delete 002 003 !

まず001と002 003を同じフォルダに解凍します。その後、002 003 を削除してください!

I did, but I don't understand why 001 can't be unzipped even if I put 002 and 003 in the same folder. The error is "001 cannot be opened as a 7z archive, unexpected end of data." I know this is really bother you

Maybe the file was downloaded wrong because an internet service problem, it is a quite common mistake. Try again.

could be one of the files had a corrupted download, or file 7z.001 may have been renamed to 7z.001.rar.

if 001's icon looks different than 002 & 003 then it may have gotten renamed when you downloaded it, if so you will need to turn on "view file extensions" / "view known extensions" in windows so you can delete .rar from the name.

Umm, I redownloaded for more than 5times... and volume indicates 102,400KB.
Also I checked extensions but it shows only "---.7z.001"

うーん、5回以上再ダウンロードしました...ボリュームは102,400KBを示しています。
拡張子も確認しましたが、「---.7z.001」しか表示されませんでした。

I finally make it.

The error was not corrupted file and also not wrong extebsions. It was because too many redownloads to be changed file name as a"---.7z (3).001" or like this. I don't know that it is the reason which is changing the name "v15_1A" to "v15_1"

Thank you for your advices and efforts.

Ok, i will try.

Has anyone managed to get the animations for all the creatures working when using Nemesis? I've been experimenting for almost a week now and there are always some where the creature just plays an idle during the animation while the human NPC animates normally. Can't figure it out. I've even got giants to animate properly somehow (including females), but creatures like spriggans/bears/undead/hagravens/goats just don't play. Tried with normal spawns, reanimated corpses, creatures summoned via spells.

As most of the comments on the matter in this thread will tell you, Nemesis and FNIS don't cooperate. MNC is a FNIS mod.

 

However, there is a way to get them to mostly coexist. I struggled with this for a while as well [because I like the modern combat overhauls, dodge mechanics and combat animations that have come out over the past year or two and don't want to give them up for a sex mod ] but this is the tutorial that worked for me. Make sure to follow it exactly:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/54702

 

The important distinction between this and other guides I've found is that with this one, both FNIS and Nemesis engines are disabled by the end of the process, meaning only the two output mods and FNIS Creature Pack are active. LOOT will bitch at you about the engines not being active when XPMSE is in the load order, but from what I've seen, it doesn't actually cause any issues.

 

At most, this setup has only occasionally caused animations to lock up for me. Reloading or restarting the game works pretty much every time, though I make a habit of making a real save [vs. Auto/quicksave] every little while just in case the current save doesn't want to cooperate and I have to jump back a few saves. But that's just good practice when playing a heavily modded game anyway, and I have only ever needed to do it once due to my own mistakes with mod installation.

Already know, have tried multiple guides, and all of them have worked for some but none has for me. Perhaps it's because I'm using Vortex (which doesn't let me create the required output mods to place in the load order) and am too lazy to change to MO2 with a modlist + save worth several weeks of time combined. I'll give your link a try and see if it works.

From what I've heard Vortex is an absolute nightmare to get working correctly. The way it operates means it's constantly fighting with your system security, plus it tends to do direct file changes. Which means it causes all sorts of chaos when you need to remove a mod from your list due to genuine conflicts with something else.
