📋 About This Mod
If you are like me, you've most likely gotten tired of seeing all the NPC's smoking. Whatever your reasons, this is the mod for you!
I've replaced the smoking animations with PoseA_IdleDialogue1 for Males and PoseA_IdleDialogue2 for Females. They will use these animations when using NPCSmokeIdleMarkers now.
Installation instructions
Install with your favorite mod manager such as Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex
OR
If you're the type that likes to do things manually: Install 7-Zip, extract the mod and move the contents to the data folder.
(Example: Extract R. S. A-20718-2-0. 7z to C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Downloads and then move the meshes folder to \Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data)
This mod disables 99% of all the NPCSmokeIdleMarker's in the game. The only ones left are those that are attached to scripts.
(e.g. a NPCSmokeIdleMarker is scripted to be used during your rescue of Nick Valentine so it hasn't been altered.) (only applies to the old .esp version)
Notice: If this mod does not suit your tastes, please DO NOT leave comments letting me know about it. Doing so will most likely get you blocked.
Any mod that replaces the smoking animation hkx files will conflict with this mod.
This mod requires the Automatron, Far Harbor, and NukaWorld DLCs. I have no plans to make different versions for different combinations of DLCs. (only applies to the old .esp version)
Heya Guys and Gals. I've finally taken the time to create an Xbox One version of this mod for your enjoyment. The Xbox One version requires an esp to work thanks to console mod limitations. The problem is that I've no way to test if it actually works though since I don't have an Xbox One. Let me know what happens if you decide to download it on your console!
