📋 About This Mod

This is the male counterpart, of my animation replacer set which currently consists of :

-30 seconds long idle cycle that evolves from a tense poise to a relatively relaxed one.

-Forward and side directions for walk.

-Forward and side directions for run.

The aim of these animations is to give the character a less janky, more intimidating and battle ready feel while out of combat.

Animating tips and insights are welcome.

      Compatibility/Issues

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 to easily toggle this on/off and avoid overwriting other animation mods.
