📋 About This Mod

\"I\'m going to hold my breast (Instead of ... breath...) until I turn blue\" Kelly Bundy (\"Married... with children\"), May 15, 1994 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This mod is an animation replacer which adds breathing motion to 26 of Bethesda\'s original idle animations

Check out the video to see the effect of breathing idles

This includes
  • []all 23 \"_male\" idles (like idle.kf, onehandidle.kf, or sneakstaffblockidle.kf) []horse riding idle []scan and stand1 specialidle.
The animations are intended as options to NoMaaM BBB Animation Replacer, but they can be used in non-BBB installations as well, or with other BBB animation replacers (BBB: Better Bouncing Breasts). All animations come in 6 different flavors:
  • []subtile breathing - no BBB []subtile breathing - BBB \"low-key\" (BMF 0. 6) []strong breathing - no BBB []strong breathing - BBB \"low-key\" (BMF 0. 6) []strong breathing - BBB \"moderate\" (BMF 0. 8) []strong breathing - BBB \"excessive\" (BMF 1. 1)
For a more detailed description of BBB, necessary pre-requisites, and the meaning of BMF, please refer to the description of NoMaaM BBB Animation Replacer Standard idle animation files are used for different purposes:
  • []non-moving situation (similar to \"poses\") []in the inventory menu []between combat animations
Unfortunately, it is not possible to distinguish between these situations (without doing some tricky modding). So while between combat moves you might prefer \"strong\" breathing, it\'s probably more natural for inventories to see the \"subtile\" movement. But you can\'t have both. I made NoMaaM Breathing Idles to justify breast movement for NoMaaM BBB Animation Replacer. There has always been some criticism that on idles breast moved without reason (\"invisible boob man\"). But subtile breathing doesn\'t justify breast movement either. So I personally use \"strong breathing - BBB moderate (BMF 0. 8)\". All animations are fully based on Oblivion standard animations (to keep the nice little movements they have). Only some upperbody bones have been changed. However, all short idles had to be doubled or tripled. You can\'t simply press breathing cycles into 1. 3 seconds. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ History 1. 0 - 2011/08/28 - Initial release. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Required & Recommended Mods/Tools If you want to install
