📋 About This Mod

EVG:AT adds new handmade movement animations, triggered through add-ons.

This mod primarily focuses on explicit obstacle navigation with designated objects,

allowing you to interact with various types of ledges, ladders, cramped spaces and more.

Animated Traversal is a framework for modders,

and does not change the game or add new content.

If a mod requires this, this file & its requirements are all you need.

The goal of this mod is not to disregard basic platforming, but to help expand on complex level design

related to non-linearity, backtracking mechanics and verticality, inspired by puzzle/layout games like Resident Evil.

FAQ, Compatibility, Troubleshooting, Known Issues:

ESL?

Main file is .esl, second is .esl flagged (esp-fe.)

I'm super close to getting NPCs to use it without breaking. Working, just testing for update 1. 0. Other authors just need to patch.

VR?

no idea, don't have a headset

if 3rd person lever animations work in VR, then.. probably.

Script load?

No. All instances of papyrus scripts are single fire and done in both the main file and quest. No polling, cloaks, etc.

Skirt animations for vanilla clothes?

Sprinting animations?

Not breaking sneak?

Furniture in comb
