📋 About This Mod

Reduced Procedural Slope Leaning

by Everglaid

Oblivion Remastered has a system where you & NPCs will progressively bend forwards, backwards, or to the side based on the slope of the ground.



I like this system, but the base animations in the game feature a bit of forward lean inherently. The two combined can look a bit extreme, especially when sprinting into steep slopes; your face will nearly be eating the dirt and grass. See-saw~ing can also occur when walking on stairs.

This mod reduces that system. This will not stop slouching when walking on flat ground. That's the animation. It will affect slouching when on stairs or uneven terrain.

Vanilla:

  • []Maximum 18 degrees forward

    []Maximum 8 degrees backward

    []Maximum 6 degrees side to side

Reduced (50%):

  • []Maximum 9 degrees forward

    []Maximum 4 degrees backward

    []Maximum 3 degrees side to side

Removed:

  • No procedural leaning

Was tested and is compatible with animation replacers like Alternative Sprint

Read the description to customize Female Locomotion Replacer if you want no leaning there.

on a side note: i took the comments saying "the mod is doing nothing" seriously.

so, i had the author of Alternative Sprint live stream his screen, downloading the mod from nexus and adding it to his game in real time.

the effect is subtle. if it doesn't work for you, i can only assume there's an odd compatibility issue.

Q: How did you make this mod?

A: open the spoiler below

Extracted FeetIK Humanoid blueprint using retoc into a 'legacy' .uasset (no, you cannot use FModel- the .uasset format is incorrect and it does not include a .uexp)

Edited .uasset file using UAssetGUI

Packed new .uasset & .uexp into .pak via UnrealPak

Converted 'legacy' .pak into multiple 'zen' files (.pak, .ucas, .utoc) via retoc
