📋 About This Mod

Crawl on all fours for Fallout 4.

This mod replaces the vanilla sneak, sneak walk/run animations, so all the characters will now CRAWL on all fours.

See pics and videos for how.

This is NOT A PORT of the skyrim / SSE Crawl on all fours mod. I just named them because people can find it better. I created this from scratch.

I really liked the mod, Crawl on all fours SSE by alhaquin ported from Crawl on all fours for Oldrim by DarkAngel1265. I wanted one similar for fallout 4 but didn't find any.

I Just used this AMAZING mod HkxPoser by user opparco and took out vanilla animations from fallout 4 - animations ba2 file. Then using this tool I modified the vanilla idle/sneak animation, vanilla run animation, vanilla walk animation. I will detail a step by step on how to below so you can create your own animations. A handstand walk instead of normal walk? DOABLE. A flying animation instead of the walking one? EASY PEEEESY

1) Extract Fallout 4 - Animations ba2 archive file from your Data folder inside fallout 4 main directory. Copy / Extract to some other folder this has all animation hkx files

2) Install the AMAAAZING hkxposer mod from nexus

3) Then open any animation (hkx) file you want after you install the hkxposer tool (read the posts/description of that mod on how to install)

4) After you install, just click on the dots (blue dots) and they will turn red. Now this is similar to how our bone joints work in our very own skeleton. Click on the x y z and just drag around using your mouse. Play around till you find all skeletal joints (dots) are in correct way you want. And SAVE. That's all. All it does is take time and effort. You can create your own. For me it took 6 hours to create this mod.

NOTE: I don't know if sneak can be changed only for one gender. I just did to the neutral animation. So all npcs/ Followers, men, will now use this to sneak. I just play as female character and have PIPER follower. so for me it's good. Also enemies don't sneak ( atleast without weapons) So this only replaces normal one. IF  you have weapon in hand you will still have the normal vanilla weapon sneak animation. So if you don't want your male follower to sneak like this. Keep a weapon in hand and sneak you will be good I think.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since there's no ESP, you can drop the files directly into your Data folder or use a mod manager—either works fine.
  • If you're using a mod manager, make sure to enable the mod after installing to see the animation change in-game.
  • Test the sneak animation in third-person view to fully appreciate the crawl effect.
