As you might've noticed, downloading with the mod manager is not an option, a manual download it is. For anyone who doesn't know how to manually install with MO2:
-Once you have your Zip/Rar file, on MO2 you'll need to select the "FILE" Tab on the top left corner of mod manager, then select "INSTALL MOD..." -Look for the mod wherever you downloaded it, and select it -A new window will open in MO2, saying "THE CONTENT OF <DATA> DOES NOT LOOK VALID"; you're going to click on the folder "1SwallowSE", and it'll expand with more options -On the Data folder, right bellow "1SwallowSE", you are going to right click it, and select "SET AS <DATA> DIRECTORY"
This will give you the green light and allow you to install the mod successfully.
For those looking to remove sleeves, skirt, or both:
-Once installed, right click the mod on your load order, and select "OPEN IN EXPLORER" option towards the bottom -Open the "MESHES" folder, and then the "1Swallow" folder; put this window to the site, we'll use it later. -Look for your original ZIP/RAR file that you downloaded from the Nexus, and extract the files into somewhere safe; We'll call this the Miscellaneous folder, or MISC for short -Open the MISC folder, you'll now see the dreaded "OPTIONAL" folder everyone keeps talking about. -You'll see folders for different options such as sleeveless, skirtless, or both; its time to pull back our main mod window back (which is inside the Meshes folder, which is inside the actual MO2 mod folder) -Depending on which version of the armor you want, make sure you COPY the NIF file, and paste it over at the actual 1SWALLOW folder -This will overwrite its counterpart file, and change the armor model in game;
NOTES: Its better to copy and paste the file so you keep the back up NIF files, in case you want to switch to another version of the armor; the original version should be alongside all the original files on the folder besides options, from your MISC folder
After a lot of "folder-ing" around, you will have changed the model of the armor to whatever you wanted, I recommend getting the armor in game first, having it on yourself or an NPC, and saving the game, so you can quickly go back in, look at the armor changes, and swap to the other options in case you want to check them all out.
I hope this post is of any use to any of you, I also had to scour comments to figure out how others were actually making this changes. I also recommend the following patch mod for this armor which gives it better stats, and an alternate two handed weapon, and heavy armor versions of this mod's content!
I ran into this enemy while I was at around level 14, playing Master difficulty.
The enemy must be level-locked at around level 40 or so, she could one-hit kill me while at full health -- but that's not the worst of it: she has unlimited stamina, can sprint nonstop, and has unlimited healing potions which she uses every time the health gets to around one-third. I kid you not: unlimited stamina and unlimited healing potions which get used as soon as her health drops a bit below half. It's impossible to whittle away her health because she effectively has unending regeneration. Also, she was one-hit killing me even when I was mounted on an armored horse. Frigging ridiculous.
The kick in the nuts is not appreciated.
I take issue with this kind of BS. Any sane person would.
It may be your mod creation, but have a little respect for your fellow gamer.
When i equip the helmet and unequip with helmet toggle mod the hair physic stopped. the other helmes hair's physic work just fine but three eye swallow dont
Wait, I have to FIGHT Swallow for it? She has no dialogue options, just says hello. But she does not attack me, she is not hostile at all.... am I meant to kill her?
Sorry dude, creative, but can't you just also shove it in a chest some place? I have too many clingy followers, who cannot be dismissed at key times, and some even will not wait at some moments in the game, and refuse, following me anyway. I am not ruining my relationship with half of these to get this armour. Killing a rando who is not hostile gets me real bad juju with a bunch of them.
At least make her hostile, make her a bandit or something, so she attacks, and can be killed without bad karma, and one's followers not getting pissy.
This is why all the morons on YouTube and Reddit who insist "use a mod manager no matter what, use a mod manager at all costs" over and over, ought to be shouted down.
People are so dumbed down they can't even figure out how to peacefully merge a simple mod structure into their data directory.
I've modded the heck out of this game, including some messy mods with optional files in folders laying around all over the place in disorder in their unzipped archives, and I have never relied on a mod manager, because I learned the file and folder structure by doing things manually and progressing in the complexity of the mods I added. My heavily modded game runs as expected, all mods work (and I tweaked the heck out of many animations and conditions using OAR/DAR), and I know what is where and what is what.
I'm at the point where I can slam even a heavy mod into place in a minute or two, and if I have to undo it it's simple enough to reverse what I did and know what was overwritten and apply earlier-state backups (with one or two really heavy mods I simply backed up the whole game temporarily -- but surprisingly few mods overwrite stuff, but I know going in because I learned to do arithmetic before I ever used a cheap calculator, learned to walk before I ice-skated).
If I had a nickel for all the people I've seen complaining about their games being screwed up and they cannot figure where things went wrong and their mod managers got 'em by the short hairs, I could buy a large pizza.
My game seems to crash whenever the NPC spawns in and I can't properly pinpoint the reason as to why. I'm using xtudo's edits but I'm not entirely sure if it's the issue is unique to that one. Crashlogger indicates BSDynamicTriShape for HairFemaleNord08 which may be hair/facegen stuff.

@4thUnkown, you should pin this or put it on your front page!

I really hope this gets a auto download like your later armours.
