If by file picker you mean file manager the default has never been nemo on EndeavourOS i3 as far as I can remember and this goes all the way back to here:  
[I3wm for EOS net-install - lets do it together! - Desktop Environments / i3wm - EndeavourOS](https://forum.endeavouros.com/t/i3wm-for-eos-net-install-lets-do-it-together/1406/12)  
The default file manager is thunar. What issues are you having exactly?
