📋 About This Mod
Hello everyone,
with the permission of Genebriss, I have ported this mod to SSE. This is an offical port by me and tested, so everything should work fine.
The esp., animations and scripts has been converted and fixed for SSE!
I copied the description below from the Original Mod so please keep in mind that all videos and images are from Skyrim LE.
Please don't forget to Endorse his project!!!
Just install this mod manually or with your modmanager, no extra tweaks are needed for SSE. Please read the whole description of this mod!
If your animations are not working, please check in MCM if this mod is enabled!
All Credit belongs to Genebriss!
Adds animations for looting containers and corpses, harvesting plants, lockpicking doors and chests, opening doors, activating levers, praying, drinking and eating potions and food, equipping armor and opening map.

SKSE and SkyUI are required.
Dynamically attaches script and thus compatible with objects from DLCs or other mods. For example: looting animation will work for a chest added by another mod. Drinking potions animation will work for any potions from other mods as well.
Animation is choosen dynamically depending on Z coordinates and height of player and activated object. So even the same container can be opened with different animations depending on player position.
Animations aren't made by me. They are default Skyrim animations.
By default it plays animations in third person and return you to first person if you were in this mode. Can be set not to change POV in the MCM, but there are no first person animations.
Can be used with Immersive First Person View or Enhanced Camera for first person animations. //Both not ported to SSE yet!
Options in MCM:

]Disable any part of the mod. For example, you can use only lockpicking, opening and drinking animations and disable everything else.[]Length of each animation and POV for it
[]Randomisation of the animation length for looting, harvesting and lockpicking to make it more natural.
- Allow NPCs to attack player during animation.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,364 endorsements and over 81k downloads.
- Official port with permission from the original author, so it's a safe bet for SE users.
- Covers a wide range of actions—looting, harvesting, lockpicking, and doors—so it adds variety across the board.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other animation mods.
- No mention of compatibility with other popular animation overhauls, so you might run into conflicts if you use those.
- The description is sparse—no details on how the animations look or if they're first-person or third-person only.
For Skyrim SE players who want to freshen up the repetitive vanilla animations for common actions like looting and lockpicking. If you're a modder or someone who already uses a comprehensive animation overhaul, this might be redundant or conflict-prone. Skip if you're looking for combat or movement animations—this is purely for interaction animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a port of an old mod, make sure you have the latest Skyrim SE patch and consider using a mod manager to avoid overwriting issues.
- If you use other animation mods, load this one early in your load order to let other mods overwrite it if needed.
- Check the mod's posts or comments for any known compatibility patches with popular animation overhauls like FNIS or Nemesis.
