✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 501 endorsements and over 13k downloads
- Simple install: drop files or use a mod manager, then run FNIS
- Safe to remove anytime—just uninstall and rerun FNIS
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with Joy of Perspective and other first-person idle mods, so you'll have to choose
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be actively maintained for newer Skyrim SE versions
- Only affects idle animations—if you want combat or movement overhauls, this won't cover those
For Skyrim SE players who want a more natural first-person idle stance without overhauling the whole animation system. If you're using Joy of Perspective or other first-person animation mods, skip this to avoid conflicts. Purely cosmetic, so don't expect gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- After installing, always run FNIS from your mod manager to generate the new idle animations—skipping this step means the mod won't work.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement, then run FNIS through the manager's tool integration.
- Test the idle animations in third person and first person to see the difference—if you notice any weirdness, double-check that no other mod is overriding the same animations.
