How Do You Install Solid Project?

[CollieCloud]

So I found out about this neat mod Solid Project, and I found the download link to the dropbox as it's not on Nexus anymore. But the directions on how to install the mod are so vague and inconsistent with what's in the folder. It says drag and drop the "data" file. Note that singular "file" word, and drop it into the New Vegas directory. Do I just drop the RAR file in there or what? Because there's multiple files in there, not just one data file.

extract the rar and drop all files to data folder, it's recommended if you use mod manager

It's not on Nexus because it's a broken mess.

If you're dead set on using a save breaking mod, as the previous poster said, use a mod manager. Preferably MO2. That way at least you can remove the mod thoroughly in future.

It is not on Nexus because it was removed by author. The last update was in early 2021 with a lot of script cleaning and optimization. However, it is still... Not really optimized. As long as you don't need specific function of SP, JAM is better choice.

Sorry, I should have been more specific - it's not on the Nexus because the author removed it due to it being a buggy mess. Many of his other mods are still on Nexus.

My original post does sort of imply that Nexus removed it for being broken. Unfortunately, Nexus doesn't actually do that.

And yes, JAM + Animated Player Interactions/Animated Ingestibles and a couple other mods are a great replacement that actually works correctly.

I wouldn't install Solid Project.
It was never finished, it never worked well, and it may even outright cause your save game to die.

Aah. Thanks all. Would there be another animation mod you'd recommend?

For which types of animations?

If you want the first-person stuff like interacting, Animated Player Interactions and Animated Ingestibles are good.

Other than that, for weapon and locomotion animations, any of the modern kNVSE stuff on the Nexus is great.
