How Do I get IA, XPMS, And DSR to work together?

[lostami]

Okay all the install instructions are confusing, especially that video on the Description page...

I am using XPMS, and want to use IA and DSR... so I need to get these three mods working together.
I want shields on back, daggers on hips and shields on back.
I want the animations to match that and, and I want IA to dominate the overall animations.
I don't intend to mix and match weapons so that is not a problem.

So the question is, what order do I install what, I'm using NMM and using the installers of all three mods.

 

I Just can't find any instructions that don't confuse me, So I was hoping someone else who has had to figure this all out can help.

I never seem to get a reply until there is at least one post in my threads, why is that I wonder >.> So sorry about this but.

BUMP!

 

Really though this is freaking confusing, there is no up to date install instructions.
These three mods CAN and DO work together if done right, I see many people using it, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I have tried doing it myself, reading some instructions I could find, but there all very muttled and confusing.

Each of these mods has an actual installer now when using NMM so I can pick options and such.
So how exactly do I go about this?

Hey,

 

I personally have XPMS and DSR installed and working perfectly. I think I have a pretty good grasp on what needs to be done so here's my take: (ALSO I recommend using the complete installers whenever available)

 

First, install XPMS. To do this, you will also need to install Realistic Ragdolls and Force by dDefinder. Since you claimed to have XPMS installed and working already, I won't go into detail. Just be careful to either back up your files before installing these types of mods, or be prepared to reinstall your game if you want to uninstall XPMS, or similar mods.

 

Second, install DSR. Simply follow the install instructions on the mod description page. If you installed a specific version of XPMS (e.g. 1h sword on back), then make sure you install the compatible version of DSR.

 

Finally, Install IA. Again, I recommend installing the "NMM Installer - Complete Pack" version of this mod. The installer should provide you with all of the information to make sure the mod is compatible with XMPS and DSR. If the installer doesn't say anything, then the mod should have a built-in compatibility, and you shouldn't worry. Also, there are optional IA files. Read their descriptions to determine if you want them and if they are compatible with XPMS and DSR.

 

Remember to carefully read the file descriptions before downloading the mods. If the description makes a reference to a mod or a version of a mod that you don't remember specifically installing, don't install it. If you're not sure what version of the XPMS skeleton you installed, you may want to consider uninstalling it and reinstalling it (assuming you backed up your files, otherwise you will need to reinstall Skyrim totally to get the original skeleton files, you can still backup your data files though so you don't have to reinstall all of your mods).

 

Let me know if you need further clarification. The installations should be fairly easy and problem free. The only thing that's annoying is using the reproccer that comes with DSR.
