📋 About This Mod
Do you know the sign of Chinese zodiac of 2014? Take a guess. It's the horse! So I decided to make something related to horses.
This mod replaces horse riding animations with sidesaddle, a way of ladies riding. The subtle change provides you more immersions and helps your role playing.
- []Sidesaddle makes your female character look elegant. []Covering most of horse riding animations. Idle, Walk, Trot, Run, Sprint, Jump, Swim, Rear up, Mount and Dismount. [](T)BBP Compatible
- []Mounted combat is not covered. Sidesaddle doesn't suit for combat.
- All NPCs do the same animations. But it is rare to see NPC riding on a horse.
Activate and follow the instructions of installation wizard.
Open Installers tab, right click, select "Wizard", and follow the instructions of installation wizard.
Open the archive, choose exactly one folder, rename it "data", then copy "data" folder to your "Skyrim" directory. Each hkx file should be placed in "Skyrim/data/meshes/actors/character/animations/horse_rider/", but only "paired_mount.hkx" and "paired_dismount.hkx" should be placed in "Skyrim/data/meshes/sharedkillmoves/human&horse/", because those two are paired animation.
UninstallationThis mod has no esp, no script, no havok behavior, so never dirty your save file. You can uninstall it whenever you want.
Simply deactivate this mod.
Open Installers tab, right click, select "Uninstall".
Delete the files you installed.
Known Issues None. I did test play for an hour. There was no critical issues such as CTD. Though this is the first mod which replaces/modifies horse riding animation, I think. So unexpected issues might occur. If you find weird behaviors, please report at forum. Showing pictures or videos would be greatly appreciated.
- All NPCs do the same animations. In short, male characters also ride in sidesaddle.
- If you think this brakes the immersion, please do not install this mod.
- Or, there is a solution that can separate
