📋 About This Mod
In my opinion Cicero looks much better doing his normal dance, but I do like females to use Sensual Dance by Shubal and Lieto86 and by extension, UWShocks who converted the animations to SSE.
With this mod installed Cisero will dance a jig on the road. Males, and elderly females will also use the vanilla animation when prompted to dance by bard songs in taverns. Females that are not elderly or children (male or female) will use the sensual dance.
You will need to either remove any mod that replaces these animations, or use a patch that I provide in the download section which consists of the vanilla animations so that Cisero's Dance is present. Mist Skye users will definitely need the patch.
This mod uses Dynamic Animation Replacer to change Cicero's dance animation so that female non-elderly characters perform a more sensual dance instead of his normal jig. It's a lightweight, scriptless mod with no ESP, requiring DAR to function. With 394 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads, it's a niche but popular animation tweak for Skyrim.
