📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD IS OUTDATED AND WILL NO LONGER BE SUPPORTED, USE kNVSE BASED MODS INSTEAD
This mod was created back when kNVSE didn't exist. While it still works, it is not recommended to use this anymore, plugin slot is precious in FNV. I myself do not use this anymore.
I may one day create another one using kNVSE, but I do not consider it necessary to do so for now. Idle animation mods generally use kNVSE these days anyway
========================================================================================================
This mod provides 4 IDLEs for female player character and 4 IDLEs for male player character. The idles are chosen at random.
The idle is only played when you're not moving. Basically, this "replaces" the basic, gender-shared mtidle.kf with more idles.
To that end, this mod supplies you with animations taken from the game's sources.
\Data\meshes\characters\_male\idleanims\femaleidle\femaleidleA.kf (originally dialogbodyshiftrightfemalelistena)
\Data\meshes\characters\_male\idleanims\femaleidle\femaleidleB.kf (originally ttpntrlarmscrossedlistena)

\Data\meshes\characters\_male\idleanims\maleidle\maleidleB.kf (originally ttpntrlarmscrossedlistena, duplicate of the one for female)
\Data\meshes\characters\_male\idleanims\maleidle\maleidleC.kf (originally ttpcolautumhandbehindtalk, duplicate of the one for female)
\Data\meshes\characters\_male\idleanims\maleidle\maleidleD.kf (originally sirelaxedc, duplicate of the one for female)
Except for dialogbodyshift animations, all supplied animations are gender-neutral. In practice, currently male and female look the same. You need more idles for actual variety between male and female
Each idle has 25% chance to play. If you have any idle that you want to use, simply overwrite any of the provided idles
You can reset the playing idle by drawing your weapon (any weapon will do), holster your weapon. After a few moments, a random idle will be chosen again.
