✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 2k endorsements and 67k downloads — clearly a lot of people wanted this.
- Does exactly what it says: no more slouching. Simple and effective.
- Tiny mod, so it won't bloat your load order or cause performance hits.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2009 — ancient by modding standards, so it may not work with current game versions or other animation mods.
- Beta status means it might have bugs or unfinished polish.

For players who want a more upright, alert idle stance for their character without any extra bells and whistles. If you're a purist who hates slouching and wants a quick fix, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for modern animation overhauls or compatibility with current mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2009, check if your game version is compatible before installing — it may not work with the latest patches.
- If you use other animation mods, load this one after them to ensure it takes priority.
- Back up your original animation files if you want to revert, as the mod may overwrite them.
