📋 About This Mod
Introduction
Wash off your Dirt and Blood... with style
This mod patches Dirt and Blood or DnBE to use gender specific and situation accurate animation.
You can see the animation here (female) and here (male)
Features
Gender specific animations
No more of your manly hunk Dragonborn daintly washing himself! Now he can exert his masculin charm while bathing.
NPC compatible
NPCs use appropriate animations based on their gender, location, and inventory items (inventory detection only for DnBE).
Just because you want your female dragonborn to wash with beautiful styles, doesn't mean you want Kaidan or Inigo to use the same animation. ...... Right?
Context accurate animations
Washing with soap? Check. Washing with washcloth? Got it. Washing with just water? No problem.
Whatever situation you are in, this mod got you covered. No more loss of immersion because of magical soap out of thin air!
(limited support for DnB version. Read the detail at the bottom of the description!)

Questions and Answers
Q: This mod doens't work. My character just stands there!
Run FNIS or Nemesis
Q: The soap textures are not changing depending on the soap I'm using. Literally unplayable!
Sorry, I didn't feel like implementing 7~15 new animated objects.
Q: How long are the animations?
The whole animated sequence takes about 40 seconds. To be more specific:
Female: 40. 1sec or 40sec or 47. 5sec animations (random)
male: 40sec or 39. 5sec or 56sec animations (random)
Both: scrubbing yourself with just water: 20 seconds
The animation takes a bit longer than the original mod. I've made it so the longer version plays more rarely.
As of version 1. 2. 0, the longer version only plays when you are very dirty or very bloody.
Q: Why not just upload as an optional file at DnBE page?
To avoid putting nsfw tag on DnBE.
Q: Why are you obsessed with bathing so much?
... Maybe be
