: The community generally considers ZAP 8.0+ (specifically "ZAZ 8.0+ UUNP HDT Rev2" or similar SE revisions) as the most stable and compatible version. Newer versions (9.0+) are often avoided due to controversy and bugs.
Use OSA (Skyrim Scripting Utility) or SexLab to control ZAP animations, not the native ZAP hotkeys. The native system conflicts with 3BA node scaling.
Either FNIS (Fore's New Idles in Skyrim) or the modern Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine to properly register the thousands of custom movement behaviors into the game's engine. Step-by-Step Installation Guide
As a framework, the ZaZ Animation Pack 3BA has a number of dependencies and compatibility considerations. Before installing, ensure you have the necessary components:

Step 2: Build the 3BA ZaZ Outfits in BodySlide Open BodySlide and Outfit Studio . Select your active 3BA Body Preset from the drop-down menu.
When you properly build your through a utility like BodySlide using the 3BA template , the armor and the body physics work in perfect unison.
