📋 About This Mod

Yes i know there are several replacers for the sitting idle out there but none of them really perfectly pleased me so i created another one (i don't say this is perfect by no means but i kinda like the result). My main issue here is the knee to knee alignment in other sitting animations that make characters cross their legs so i tried to deal with that as good as i can.

I am not an experienced animator so feedback is much appreciated.

Since this is a simple replacer FNIS is not required.

You can find a version using the Dynamic Animation Replacer here.

A Xbox One port made by skyfall515 is available here.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite (1,394 endorsements) – clearly a lot of players dig this change
  • Lightweight and focused – does one thing and does it well
  • Still relevant despite the 2020 update – proves it's stable and works

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects the female sitting idle – if you wanted more animation overhauls, this won't cut it
  • No compatibility info – might conflict with other animation mods that touch the same idle
  • Last updated in 2020 – could be outdated for newer Skyrim versions or mod setups
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a subtle, more natural sitting pose for female characters without overhauling the whole animation system. If you're a modder or someone who wants a complete animation pack, skip this – it's purely a single animation replacer.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to place this mod after any other animation mods in your load order to ensure it takes priority.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, you can preview the animation in-game by sitting on a chair or bench after installation.
  • For Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod is compatible with your game version – it was last updated in 2020, so it may need a patch for newer updates.
