It's still a ton of work involved when you take a pre-existing mesh and 3D model from one game and then try incorporating it into another. The meshes have to be updated, the skeleton might need changed, the animations may need tweaking, the textures might need updating, the games run on completely different engines.

It's still not as simple as clicking Ctrl + C and then Ctrl + V. Taking resources from one game and putting it in another does not work that way.
