There should be a feature where you can hang the body of someone you killed like in the movie and an animation which your character can pull out a dead bodies spine
give the NPC predators you can recruit as companions some custom pred noises. i personally think it breaks the immersion for me when you got predator companions who can speak like a normal human NPC.
If you've ever played AVP3 Predator campaign then you should know about the ancient mask you achieve at the end of the game. I think it would be cool to have that in the mod. I take it the next update will enhance the standard Yautja model The ghoul hunter mask is nice too, you should be able to find it on google. New PredAlien model as well. Sorry for being super needy
Enhancing the standard body model will often require an entirely new skeleton and maybe even skse, and plus his armors may or may not fit correctly anymore. I honestly don't know how the scaling for the armors he made works, but as far as I can tell he can't just up and do that.
Look at bottom page for Support and to clear things up for you, suggestions are in the body below
Hello, I have a number of theories for your mod and request quarrel upon entry. I understand that you have had much content put out since the past 4 years, but might I say, you've come at it all the wrong ways. You haven't had structure in the mod, the heads are oddly shaped, you didn't bother to look back at the movies did you? Also, If you look back, the mod hasn't really gotten much attention. The race simply isn't aesthetic enough to make it to people's load orders. You haven't bothered utilizing skse or xpms or xp32 or even fnis. All of this could have worked well for you at the very beginning. You really do have your work cut out for you, but the fact remains that you simply aren't doing anything extraordinary. I don't know much about file types, I do know of esp esm plugin addon and a number of classifications for them, but as I can see here your mod is simply too loosely based. Perhaps it isn't best that you add rough scripts into the build but I would certainly like it with more functionality. I don't know if you could classify the yautja race as a new base race with a plugin file. I don't know if there is anything that would be better. But, I do see that you have decent armor put out, but you simply have not utilized xp32 or xpms and so the predator race is essentially the orc race with a predator head, making for clipping issues with vanilla helmets but completely fine with vanilla armors. That simply would not do, let's say you that a plugin file could accomplish what I'd think it to be able to do, if you could put in a couple of add ons or extra files that consist of animation sets with fnis, and if that can be targeted to the plugin, perhaps that could work. I don't know how any of this works but I certainly see that with lack of aesthetic structure, not only is no one willing to keep the mod but it simply isn't all that unique. And also, you poorly executed the beginner chests that you put in helgen. I think you should have made it so that gaining the armors for the predator race depends on if your level and if you are a predator. Or most likely the place you are in, but you did add the drop box and that wasn't a bad move at all. People have integrated armor balancing before for their mods, I don't know if you can do it for a specific race as well, but you certainly haven't been looking around at other mods as so seemingly? So let's say you began anew, you recently experimented with the skse load order options, and have a couple ideas on how to tackle this. Few weeks later you have finished experimenting with xpms and xp32 and maybe xpms is more functional with your race mod but is less of a compatibility rate, assuming you have mechanics ready for the race mod. You make a body that is more fit for the predator race and now you want to give it 4k textures. Now you might not be able to give it 4k textures but you would certainly be able to get someone to do HD for you. All you would have had to do was make sure the head is shaped as in the movies and less awkwardly while also in a very lore friendly fashion. Also, if I might mention, making this go with requiem and skyre and frostfall with hypothermia, a number of reshapes of the fur hoods and cloaks for the race, you could make this essentially reasonable to have in anyone's load order. All that there would be left to do is to balance and scale everything. So, the race might start at a level or just statistics wise, comparable to that of a werewolf, troll, or giant. Also being less prone to succumb to weather, could also make for a good tankard. And maybe EVEn some minor tweeks to make it more potent in combat with tk dodge and also a movement mechanics. Perhaps it accelerates or decels in a less linear way and more realistic but advantageous, fast and gets to the line faster. And maybe more consistency in stamina consumption. You could truly make this spread far, with plenty of roleplay concepts that would give a completely new way of playing skyrim. Also, I wouldn't really see a yautja using magic, so that could also be a downside. No magicka bar. Also, things such as no females, perhaps females can wear the helmet, but no females. It's not a thing, it's never been a thing. The helmet can have dreadlocks or whatever it is, but no females. If people want a female predator, just make it so that other female races can use it but no females. Just disable that as an option, somehow.
All these are in theory, but let me know what could really work for you and which ones are even possible, I really don't about this stuff, friend, but I do hope that perhaps someday your mod becomes successful. P.S. if or when you do come up with a lot of content that is worthy of 1st page, ask mxr and brodual to showcase it. Mxr, is strictly for nexus mods and gets a lot of people to know about certain mods and brodual can get you descriptive explanations. Unfortunately Gopher has left skyrim and won't be back for quite a while and well, Smike has ditched. There was another guy but I don't remember. However, I wish you best of luck with your mod!
the Idea from spadeoner is good. I am a big fan and I like your mod. You're doing a briliant job. I would like more Tombs or maybe even a little Quest. But its your choice and do what you think its awesome what you created with this mod.

New PredAlien model as well.
