  • Install Zaz files with mod manager, keeping original folder structure (Data/…).
  • Install any required support mods (SLAL, XPMS patches, HDT, etc.).
  • Place Zaz earlier/higher in load order than SexLab (follow Zaz readme for exact order).
  • Apply necessary compatibility patches (e.g., for other animation packs, skeleton variants).
  • Run FNIS/Nemesis after installing/updating (use the tool recommended by the Zaz release notes).
