📋 About This Mod

Mod Info

Mod that allows you to change the animations of your character or any npc you want

it adds a container with multiple items to tutorial chest: multiple underwear and the flute with added passive toggles that lets you change your character's animations/idles

For example you can pick animations of a gnome or a half orc while playing as an elf. includes all racial animations and some custom ones

Mod also adds a passive toggle with a spell container that you can use either on your character or apply animation status to any npc (of a playable race)

Toggle should get added automatically as you load your save

After applying an animation status to a character, make sure to use a "Remove animation status from target" or toggle off the passive before applying a new animation status

Now some animations could be used together :

companion animations (+ durge, noble and god Gale) have a higher priority than other animation sets, so now you can mix and match one of animations mentioned above with other animations sets.

now you can combine (for example) dragonborn animations with Karlach's idles

Current list of animations:

bladesinger (weapon animations)

Custom Astarion animations

Companions (Astarion, Gale (+God), Shadowheat, Lae'zel, Wyll, Karlach)

Dark Urge Themed Idles

deva but only idles, no floating wile running

Floaty animation set

human (+ strong human)

illithid (+ player illithid)

noble (same idles as "custom Astarion animations" but without vampire sprint)

Perfect Eternal Debtor idles

Run on all fours

rogue swachbuckler (spellcasting animations)

Some animations may look weird on some characters.

like "mummy" animations can squish your beefy tavs in some moments because they are originally meant for a smaller character.

or illithid animations can stretch your non beefy tavs a bit.

it doesn't happen often, but sometimes you may still see it

Incompatibilities

Thanks to moxifer3, animations can be applied to any creature you can see. So it should work on all modded races without requiring any patches (this requires script extender)

Mod edits all vanilla "BASE" (like GNO_M_Base, HUM_MS_Base and others) of all races and companions to add AnimationSetOverrid

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Skyrim's script extender (SKSE) installed if the mod requires it, though not stated, it's common for toggle mods.
  • Test the toggle in a safe area like Whiterun to see the animation changes without combat interruptions.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other animation mods.
