For people looking at this mod who are new to Skyrim Special Edition, or are like me and are finally transitioning over from the old version of Skryim, and are like me and have been playing without a mannequin mod since there aren't any like this for Special Edition. I have found out today through sheer dumb luck that this mod is slightly compatible without any fancy doing. There's a few bugs, and issues but that's it.
-> Manually download this mod. ->Open NMM for Skyrim Special Edition -> Top left will be a green + button to "Add mod from file", Click that, and choose the .rar you just downloaded. -> Activate the mod as you would any other mod. -> Enjoy
The only real serious bug I've found so far is if you try to use the "pack up" command while its wearing armor stuff, the game will CTD. Just a minor annoyance of having to strip it completely before packing it up, otherwise I've been decorating my house with no problems. It actually runs better than on the old Skyrim version.
Naturally the SKSE for Special Edition is required.
I tried this with advanced mannequins mod, in special edition, game wouldn't start, was all the worse that happened, ... but this mod, not to sure, its has way too much, I'm after a mannequin mod for special edition that will let me place mannequins in the black sepulcher mod.. but the things you have to go thru just to place them o.O ?? But I will give this a go, and doing a search didn't reveal anything ...
Can't find any strong box anywhere a outside the main gate of whiterun, I have tpos complete installed which add a little more wall to where the 2 guards stand, regardless tho even tcl into the ground didn't reveal a strong box
Removed tpos complete to set whiterun gates back to vanilla -- No strong box anywhere showed up left of stairs or Anywhere. not messing around with this any further, installing this way did have the game still start, just didn't show, not in my game ... Tcl ing looked everywhere No Show
To anyone reading this: do not make the same mistake I did. Do not download this mod. It almost broke my game.
After downloading it on 6th Sep, it worked...decently, for about a week, then on 13th Sep all hell broke loose. Mannequins were not displaying their equip anymore, the pedestal was visible even if I toggled it not to be, and leaving the area did not fix it; reloading did not fix it; closing the game and reopen did not fix it. So, after spending about 6hrs positioning +70 mannequins over 7 different locations, my +2.5hrs journey to retrieve my items began. I experienced all the bugs listed in the mod description, and more; none of the solutions worked. The "pack up" command made my game crash, if the mannequin still had some equip in it. Well, I should just manually retrieve the equip and then pack up the mannequin, right? No, because "some" times (+30 times, actually - yes, that's every 5 mins on average) the game would crash anyway. In one case, I saved just before a crash, and when trying to load the game would immediately crash, so I had to reload an older save (luckily, I am quite a complulsive saver). Also, sometimes after packing up the mannequin, the pedestal would still be there; moreover, other times said pedestal would act as an invisible obstacle even after I removed the mannequin. Also, I could not retrieve two mannequins; one was invisible AND floating (I could see it with Gray Cowl of Nocturnal's "Detect Life" enchantment), so it was unreachable even with console commands; therefore, I lost some items: probably nothing unique or valuable, still a pain, though. On top of it, I had to delete other 4 mods I had expressedly downloaded to use on mannequins.
All in all, the most irritating mod experience I've ever had. If a mod does not work from the very beginning, making my game crash, well, that's not a big deal: I just delete it and go on. But this mod worked for a week, and then freaked out for no clear reason. Needless to say, I'll never download a mannequin mod again, ever.
Hmm Sounds like you had conflicts not this mods fault. I used this mod for a few years with nothing you described... A note about mannequins they are buggy in the vanilla game if you use these any other ones should be deleted from that cell. Many thousands of downloads and endorsements can't be wrong ...vigilance on your part makes a stable game using other mods for this as stated for this mod is bad mojo.
he's point out you are the exception to the rule. meaning you are the only one having this issue. if this is a bug then put this in the bug section, but the advice the other dude said above sounds like the most likely reasons.
Pedestals should be removed. They clip through the ground making it knock items in it's way if you place it upstairs. And it can get in your pathway because it clips through the ground. It's better if it doesn't have a pedestal to stand on and rather stand on the ground.
Hello all: does anybody know if dead mannequins will stay where I killed them (=in this case, inside one of the vanilla homes), or if they'll disappear eventually? Thanks
Why have a platform for them to stand on, they always sink to the floor when you leave the house? They move off them as well I have tried to move them with a move object mod and lock them there, but I go out and come back and they are off the platform or up in the air.. My game now will crash to desktop when I load screen as I leave the house but not every time.. And you can only add armor 1 time, after that you can't activate them again, ya you can hit them with a sword, but I did and it died, I lost my armor and the mannequin.. I tried the live ones and they won't let you move them, they just walk back to where they started from. Would love to be able to add mannequins, but it looks like this mod is not up to date or not compatible with some other mod I have..
I did get it working with 3 mannequins.. will keep testing with junk armor to see if it works... May have been a load order thing that was crashing me, it working ok now.. I delete the platforms as no mater what I do the mannequins always sink into them or I find them standing off them somewhere they should not be.. Deleting the platforms seems to have stopped them from wondering around the rooms.. And I am using statue mode ones..
Just can't keep the mannequins where I place them. Every time I leave and come home they are moved and sometimes the armor no longer shows on them.. Anyone know how to place one against a wall? Is there a way to cut it loose after you hit it the first time and move it into the place you want it.. It seems that on the second hit to get a choice of male female and race, the mannequin always ends up behind or to the side of where I am standing.. I think it is impossible to place them against a wall with the platform.. Maybe if there was no platform you could.. And with platforms having no value as your mannequin always sinks into them, they should be taken away.. Also if you delete the platform they will come back in the spot your mannequin was first placed.. Hope I can find a better mod..
But now I've discovered that it clogs the hell out of the save, since (for some reason) it *constantly* has active scripts running, and continues to add more scripts, despite me not being around my mannequins. My mage character is now pretty much done for, since I can't seem to stop the save file from trying to run these scripts, and now I have to start my fighter again as well. Guess I'll just combine them into one.
Can't recommend the mod; it's much, *much* better to just stick with whatever mannequins a home currently has. In fact, would recommend *not* using this, considering the damage it did.

If many thousands of people downloaded this mod and faced no issues good for them. For me it did not go that way.
if this is a bug then put this in the bug section, but the advice the other dude said above sounds like the most likely reasons.
I tried alternate actors but do not save faces.
thanks
