📋 About This Mod
This mod is no longer required as it was integrated directly into a recent version of EVG Conditional Idles. Thanks all for the support and downloads!
These files will enable shivering / cold animations when using EVG Conditional Idles along with Sunhelm Survival and Needs. The idle will display when you're "Freezing" or "Frigid", but not when you're "Cold".
Instructions on how to perform this have been available on EVGCI's posts since July 2021, and stickied on Sunhelm's posts pages since late September 2021, however, for those less technical folks, here is a quick download to automate this process.
Credit goes to @Fran420s for solution of this on the EVGCI posts page. Please be sure to give +kudos to this user.
INSTALLATION
Install with preferred mod manager and overwrite all files from base EVGCI install for any conflicts.
COMPATIBILITY
These are modifications of the default EVGCI version 1. 4 files. If you have already modified the files to suit your own purposes, you will need to perform a manual merge. Please see @Fran420s's original post details (quoted below) for more information:
SunHelm Survival doesn't display the Cold Idle out of the box! The lines that someone else posted don't work. If you're using SunHelm, follow these steps:
- Make a line break after line 38
- Paste these values (without the "[]"):
- Save and exit
Special thanks to Everglaid for creation of this great mod.
Special thanks as well to @colinswrath for the amazing Sunhelm needs mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros

⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who run both EVG Conditional Idles and Sunhelm Survival and Needs and want proper shivering animations when cold. Skip if you don't use Sunhelm or if you're fine with default idle behavior.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this patch after both EVG Conditional Idles and Sunhelm to ensure proper overwrite order.
- Test the shivering animation by standing in a cold area with Sunhelm's cold system active.
- If animations don't trigger, check that both mods are updated and load order places this patch last.
