How do I use someone's mod as my playable character?

[vortexhlp]

I'm not sure how to search for this so I apologize if it's been asked more than once but I want to use a character from a mod (Elfkko Followers if you're wondering) as my playable character. From what I gather you have to find the .nif file and somehow bring it over to skse presets but when I do it doesn't show up, probably because it's not the right file / format since .nif is not the same as .jslot.

 

So there are files here that I could use:

Data\meshes\actors\character\facegendata\facegeom\_Elfkko1.esp\0000182D.NIF and 0000285D.NIF

 

Now where do I copy those over to? I don't care so much about the body shape, I could work on it in racemenu but is it even possible to import like that? It's what I heard anyway...
