📋 About This Mod
This mod adds approximately 60 ingame animations as new poses in Photo Mode under three categories, character creation (class intros), dialogue, and idle animations. (The new collections will appear at the bottom of the list)
I plan to add many more including spellcasting and animations of specific cinematic scenes. I also hope to add weapon animations however they're proving difficult to get working currently.
