📋 About This Mod
Go to Bed - DAR patch
by Xtudo
Description
This mod will use Dynamic Animation Replacer to randomize the 04 bed and 03 bedroll animations from the wonderful mod Go To Bed by Andrelo1.
It will use the 03 new bed animations from Go To Bed plus 01 from vanilla. And the new 02 bedroll animations from Go To Bed plus 01 from vanilla.
It works perfectly with Open Animation Replacer (OAR).
All Kudos to Andrelo1 and to Felisky384 for their awesome work.
PLAYER and NPCs version added (thanks to johnwhite92 for the heads-up).
HIGH PRIORITY VERSION. Fully compatible with AE, SE, OAR and DAR. Renamed animations folder from 3000 to 2000043000, for example.
This mod will work even without Go to Bed installed: It will circle between the animations on a vanilla game too.
Fully compatible with Use Those Blankets too.
I made it for my game and now I'm sharing it, I hope you like it.
Installation
-
[]Choose your version, PLAYER only or PLAYER and NPCs (install only one).
[
]Extract the downloaded RAR file and copy the DATA folder to your Skyrim installation folder.[]IMPORTANT: When installing Go To Bed, leave the vanilla animations, select "Don't install custom sleeping animation".
[]If you already have the animations installed, go to your Data\Meshes\Actors\Character\Animations folder, and delete this five files: bed_leftsleep.hkx, bed_rightsleep.hkx, bedroll_frontsleep.hkx, bedroll_leftsleep.hkx and bedroll_rightsleep.hkx.
Requirements
-
[]Go to bed by Andrelo1 v1. 5. 3 (SE version) or v2. 0. 7 (AE version). Works with Vanilla too.
[
]Dynamic Animation Replacer by Felisky384 or Open Animation Replacer by Ershin.[]Optional: Sleeping Expanded - Animations and NPC reactions.
[]Optional: Use Those Blankets.
Conflicts
The DAR folder numbers conflict with (SGC) SkySA - Combat Behavior Compulsion, specifically 3000, 3001, 3002.
So the best thing to do is to rename the folders of my mod to 3080, 3081, 3082, 3083, and 3084, BEFORE installing them into your Skyrim Data folder. Many thanks to nousernameplease for the heads-up.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 10,703 endorsements and 1M downloads—this is a proven mod
- Adds variety to sleeping animations without breaking immersion
- Works with vanilla and other mods, so it fits into most load orders
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both Go To Bed and DAR—if you don't have those, this mod is useless
- Last updated January 2026—might not be compatible with future Skyrim updates
For Skyrim players who already use Go To Bed and want more animation variety. If you're into immersion and hate seeing the same sleeping pose every time, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use DAR or Go To Bed—this mod does nothing on its own.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have DAR installed and properly set up—this mod relies on it to work.
- Place this mod after Go To Bed in your load order to ensure it overrides correctly.
- Test in a new game or after sleeping once to see if animations are randomized—if not, check DAR's folder structure.
