📋 About This Mod
Replaces the standing idle animation for the player and NPCs. I made this mod because I was tired of the odd standing posture of characters in this game. People don\'t stand around with their knees bent like that! I tried Backsteppo\'s alternative (http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/5067), but found that a bit too much like standing to attention for my taste, so decided to try my hand at making an animation. This idle is a modification of the default standing idle and retains its movement. Installation To install, unzip the file and move the mtidle.kf file to your data\\meshes\\characters\\_male\\locomotion folder. To uninstall, simply delete the file.
