✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with over 1,000 endorsements and 21k downloads.
- Simple choice between subtle and strong breathing fits different tastes.
- BBB options let you match your body mod setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011 — may not work with newer Oblivion versions or mods.
- Only affects idle animations, not other movement or combat animations.
For Oblivion players who want more lifelike idle animations without a full animation overhaul. Great for roleplayers and screenshot enthusiasts. Skip if you want comprehensive animation changes or play on a modern setup where old mods might break.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your body mod uses BBB (Bouncing Breasts and Butt) and pick the matching option to avoid clipping.
- Since the mod is from 2011, test it in a clean save to ensure it doesn't conflict with other animation mods.
- Use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash to easily toggle the mod on and off if issues arise.
