conflicts
| problem | solution |
|---|---|
| XPMSSE Left Hand Sheath Rotation Fix is a skeleton replacer and will conflict with NiOverride Pose Adjustments which will prevent ImmersiveEquipmentMeshGen's left-handed scabbards from being applied | combining NiOverride Pose Adjustments's skeleton files with XPMSSE Left Hand Sheath Rotation Fix's changes might be possible with NifSkope or something |
| XPMSE's Frostfall Quiver weapon style animations conflict with Archery Gameplay Overhaul's animations | Compatibility Patch for Archery Gameplay Overhaul (AGO) and XP32 Skeleton Styles MCM |
| Immersive Equipment Displays can use FNIS to play XPMSE's style-fitting animations without XPMSE's MCM or scripts; unfortunately, it can only use FNIS' 1hm_behavior.hkx output file to do so which is also output by Nemesis and the 1hm_behavior.hkx which it creates cannot be used by Immersive Equipment Displays for some arcane reason | configure and rely upon XPMSE and Nemesis to play the style-fitting animations which correspond to Immersive Equipment Displays's selected weapon Placements for both the player and NPCs while making use of XPMSSE Weapon Styles Uncloaked to minimize its footprint when applying weapon styles to NPCs |
