📋 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.

A simple animation replacer that swaps the vanilla female sitting idle for a new one. With 1,394 endorsements and 36,911 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking a subtle visual change. Last updated in December 2020, it remains a stable, lightweight option for Skyrim.
✨ Key Features
📊 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- Last updated in 2020 – could be outdated for newer Skyrim versions or mod setups
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.
💡 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.
