📋 About This Mod
Swaps Rook's inventory idle animation to an NPC's, so you can look at your Rook standing in place in new and exciting ways!
For anyone who's ever felt envious of the companions' inventory anims, or bored of Rook's own.
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE SWAPS
THINGS WORTH KNOWING:
- no lucanis because his anims are bugged for rook for some reason
- you cannot use this mod with other animation swap mods!
- if your rook is a rogue you HAVE TO use the designated rogue files. just as for non-rogues, only use one anim per race at once
- the anims for rogues also affect the CC anims (sorry)
- I would advise you to only use one anim at the same time to avoid any accidental t-posing shenanigans
- I have not tested every variation so if you see a bug or something goes wrong: sorry!
- usual disclaimer: only use mods at your own risk, I'm not responsible for any harm done to your saves, game, computer, or life etc etc

INSTALLATION GUIDE
This is a root level edit mod so you HAVE TO use a library. Give it the highest priority in the Mod Manager.
I have included a library mod if you'd rather not do it yourself. If you would like to do it yourself, you have to put the bundle(s) you need into the description file. I used the following bundles: (you only need the NPC corresponding to the anim you are using. Eg. if using Neve's anim, you add the Neve bundle) (and yes that is viEgo, don't write it as viAgo)

Special shoutout to flowersforthemachines, who figured out how to make anims work for rogues! You can check her mod about that here.
