📋 About This Mod
Nexus Skyrim File of the month May 2015
No custom animation possible for Skyrim? Wrong. FNIS Behaviors allows other mods to add different types of animations to the game: idles/poses, sequenced, arm offset, furniture, and paired animations, killmoves, and creature animations.
And, with the demonstration mod FNIS Spells the user has a means to display almost all animation files. Dance animations included.
Use animations exclusive to the player in an EASY way? Install FNIS PCEA2 and see the potential
