📋 About This Mod
I can\'t take credit for any of these poses! This is just an OBMM repackaging of the idle pose mod by Shaklin which can be found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=16500 Idle animation replacer for use with Oblivion Mod Manager. 3x Idle (No Weapon) Pose 3x Sword (One Hand) Pose 3x Staff Pose 3x Bow Pose Only addition is the handy install script. Oblivion Mod Manager is a great utility for managing your oblivion mods. It can be found here: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2097 The dress in the screen shots is called \"Drow\" (i think) and is part of the mod that can be found here here: http://www.leiawen.net/ceedee/BabSite/

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 972 endorsements and over 31k downloads.
- Simple, focused mod that does one thing well.
- Lightweight and easy to install via OBMM.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — may have compatibility issues with modern setups or other animation mods.
- Requires OBMM, which is outdated; you might need to use a different manager or manual install.
For Oblivion players who want to tweak their character's idle stance without a full animation overhaul. If you're into roleplaying or just want a fresh look, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for combat or movement changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with OBMM for the easiest setup, but if you're using a modern mod manager, you can manually extract the files into your Data folder.
- Check for conflicts with other animation mods — load order matters, so place this after any major animation overhauls.
- Test the idle poses in third-person view to see the changes clearly.
