📋 About This Mod

Summary/TLDR
Adds some "fluid" animations to the roofs of various market stall assets that appear in rivet city - although this mod was intended for use in FNV, the assets are of course from this game and therefore work with it, however this does mean the animations were made without considering the environments that fallout 3 places them in, meaning it might look a bit silly considering they appear mostly inside. but its here for you to use if you want, even if it is a bit wacky!
hope some of you get some enjoyment from the animations.
Installation
just Install with your Mod manager or do it manually. This mod has no requirements and will simply work in a vanilla game as its just some mesh edits and will just take the place of vanilla stuff, meaning it also does not use an ESP. very easy to use!

"Overall, the animations didn't impact anything."
"I was surprised how well it worked"
so all these guys tested this mod and pretty much all said that these had no noticeable impact on performance or loading times. I myself also did some extensive testing and had no issues.
huge thanks to all the fellas from the discord for play testing, and making sure this all works correctly.
