I know this is an older mod and I don't know if the mod author is still around, but this mod has a terrible bug. A lot of the time when an NPC enters ragdoll mode, they will get immediately stuck in a sort of T-pose, usually floating, and you can't loot or activate them at all. The only fix is to open console, select them, then disable and enable them back, in which case another NPC of the same type will spawn and drop to the ground for you to loot.
This issue plagued one of my recent new playthroughs so badly that I stopped playing it and started scouring through my load order trying to find the culprit. I mean one enemy in almost every fight would freeze, floating, and it got so annoying that I couldn't stand it. This mod is definitely the problem, and I have been able to recreate it by playing the Helgen intro sequence with only this mod enabled. One of the archers on the wall will T-pose freeze every time with this mod installed, replicating the bug.
In the older comments, the mod author said there was a way to make the effects player-only, which would fix it I think, but the link he posted is now gone. Here's a picture of the guard and what it looks like:
I'm just throwing this out there since this is a great mod and essential for older modders as well as new ones just getting into it.
Are you using the right version? If you're using the oldrim version in SSE or vice versa, this is what would happen. I've been using this mod for over 4 years and I've worked with it; never have I had this bug occur to me and it would not be featured on G.E.M.S. if it was that bugged.
Edit: There's also a chance this happened because you had too many scripts going off.
Yea, this is what is happening to me, too. First I thought, that it was a problem with Wildcat, because it would only happen, when I injured an enemy and he ragdolled down because of it. It never even once happened in my archery playthrough though, where I didn't install various combat mods. During that playthrough, I often killed enemies while they were trying to get up after getting hit by my Unrelenting Force. So it probably has something to do with compatibility issues or something.
Hey guys, I am not really "around" anymore. But I have over 100 people that have this in their load order for years, including myself when I play. Some of those guys are streamers so they are doing this basically for living and not once was any of them complaining. And they promised me they will let me know if something goes wrong. If you take a look at my mods I have NO bug reports, cause I work real hard and drill into the very basic details when I am creating my mods. Then you take the number of downloads nearly 500k and I then count the people talking about the "bug". You can count them on your fingers. Which brings me to thinking that this is a specific bug when something goes wrong during installation of animation packages. Trust me I tried to replicate this bug for weeks. Nothing. And my game has nearly 500 mods so if something goes wrong it should be on my game.
You said you were able to replicate the bug. Pls give me a detailed guide how to do this. Thx D13
lmao. That's hilarious and accurate at times, but unfortunately in this case there's some merit to it. If you have FNIS but don't generate new behavior files, these animations seem to have problems. And while you should always generate new behaviors after adding new animations to your game, it's still weird that it's a problem in this case because it's just two animation replacers that should otherwise be identical from the perspective of Havok Behavior. But the pile of FNIS user reports suggest otherwise. /shrug
Does anyone have some installation instructions for this mod? There isn't a read me.txt file anywhere and the main description is completely lacking in those as well, it simply talks about how popular this is.

I'd check your load order and mods installed first.
Though it's not mentioned in the description page, Ultimate combat has its own getup animation pack built in and thus conflicts with this mod.
