📋 About This Mod

FNIS PCEA2 SE (Player Character Exclusive Animations, 2nd generation, for Skyrim SE) allows you to define animations which are dedicated to the player only.

................................................................................................... FNIS PCEA2 at 11. 50

But unlike its pre-decessor PCEA, FNIS PCEA2 allows you to:

  • []select your custom animations DURING THE GAME via MCM

    []distribute your animations into up to 10 different subfolders which can be freely combined

    []use this functionality without a custom race for the player

    And, to make things most easy for the user, FNIS PCEA2 already comes with a selection of replacers:

    • []New Animation Pack by xp32

      []Immersive Animations by Bergzore

      []YY Anim Replacer - Mystic Knight by yukl

      []YY Anim Replacer - Zweihander by yukl

      []Oriental Swordsmanship animation of East Asia by cyh0405

      []Magiska - Spell Casting Animations by Feuertin

      []Jump animations by Davjes

      []Pretty Female Idles by dualsun (1 animation)

    Many thanks to the authors of these great animations for sharing them with the community, and for giving permission to upload them whith this mod.

    These included animation replacers allow you to start FNIS PCEA2 right out of the box.

    Note 1: FNIS does "only" support 537 animations this way. Which is only about one third of all animations for character. The reason: system limitations. Animations like ritual spell, staffmagic, sitting, horse riding, killmoves, and crossbow are purposely ommitted in the interest of ALL users. You don't need to ask me. I will not add them in a later release of FNIS.

    Note 2: there are a few additional folders which end with "_EquipOnly". These files are part of the included animation replacers. They are separated however in order to not conflict with the equip animations set by XPMSE/Racemenu. If you don't use XPMSE or another mod changing equip animations using FNIS Alternate Animations, you can move these files back to their original folder.
