📋 About This Mod
This is a utility and doesn't do anything without a connected mod. Is safe to have in you load order with no anims as well.
KVT or UniqueTav is a hard requirement as this is designed to be used i conjunction with those for a fully unique Tav.
The benefit of this is, when used with an animation changing mod, the changes will only apply to the player character and not NPCs and such.
Load after chosen UT version, mine is at the bottom of my load order.
Thanks to FluffySpider, SifsDeadTrainer, and veedaville; could not have done it without following your methods.
For modders:
Included as an optional file is loose base/template files if you want to create you're own animation changes. The instructions to do so are as follows:
-
[]Take the name of an animation like "HUM_F_Rig_DFLT_LOCO_Run_F_Peace_01"index search in the multitool
[
]You'll return a long file path ending in something like \Humans\_Female_Body\_merged.lsx.[]In that file you'll find the ID associated with that animation, in this case <attribute id="ID" type="FixedString" value="9fce15c8-0388-4662-b98b-ad4ebf4a0db1" />
[]Search that id "9fce15c8-0388-4662-b98b-ad4ebf4a0db1" in the same file. and change the secondary entrie(s).
- Change the secondary entrie(s) to the corresponding desired animation to change the animation in the game for that character
Also included is a video, sorry if it not the clearest. Its basically 15 minutes of my doing the above, giving Shadowheart/Elf anims onto B1 Half-Orc
If you want to apply unique animations to your custom race you can apply it directly in your mod folder following the same idea here and then use this to ensure that they are unique.
The following are the new BaseVisuals entries applied to each race in case that is useful:
