✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 281 endorsements and over 10k downloads
- Adds subtle variety to your character's idle stance without overhauling animations
- Unarmed only means it won't conflict with weapon-specific animation mods
⚠️ Cons
- Limited to unarmed idles, so you won't see changes when holding weapons
- Only 5 animations, so the variety is modest
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC
For Fallout 4 players who want a bit more life in their character's idle stance without a full animation overhaul. If you're into roleplaying or just like watching your character in third-person, this is a nice touch. Skip if you want weapon-specific idles or a complete animation pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's unarmed only, make sure your character is unarmed to see the new idles.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, install it there to easily enable/disable it.
- Check if you have other animation mods that might override idles; load order may matter.
