***********************************************************

***********************************************************I've played on the TES3MP server JRP Roleplay for a year, and the lack of animations for sitting stuck out to me as a huge thing missing from TES3MP and Morrowind in general. Mods like Animated Morrowind added some animations, but none for the player to use. So, I decided to make this mod to remedy this problem. No longer will characters need to stand awkwardly next to chairs instead of sitting in them properly. I had the idea to make this mod almost a year ago, but I never had the time or help to do it until now. Enjoy!

***********************************************************

INSTALLATION

***********************************************************

There are two ESP files included. Use only one, and install it and all meshes in the normal way.

Sit Down-Singleplayer. ESP  - Use this in Morrowind or OpenMW. It adds the animations, changes certain chair collisions to allow them to be sat on, and provides an amulet which allows you to use the animations.

Sit Down-TES3MP. ESP  - Use this for TES3MP. It adds the animations and the chair collision changes. It does not add the amulet as animations need to be run through a server-side script on TES3MP.

Before using this mod in Morrowind, you will need to run the Morrowind Code Patch's "Improved Animation Support" function, otherwise you will get major issues. If the animations glitch into frozen standing poses when you play them, you have not patched your game. It can be found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/19510

Additionally, I highly suggest running the "Fix Animation Errors" function of Liztail's Animation Kit (http://mw.modhistory.com/download--6027) before using this mod. This will prevent harmless animation errors from occuring while using it. If you are lazy or are including this mod on a server, I have included patched files with this mod which should be put into the meshes folder (backing up the files previously there) which should do the same thing, though I make no promises about them. If they cause any problems, restore the old files and use the AnimKit.

In the singleplayer version, an amulet is added on top of the barrel where Fargoth's ring is found at character creation. Equipping this amulet will allow you
