📋 About This Mod
Sorry for the delay everyone! Please thank EbrithilUmaroth for converting this to SSE. I was entirely too lazy. Yes, it's true...
This adds new optional animations and refines vanilla animations for players who appreciate the overall feel of the vanilla style.
Check the file page for available modules and optional files.
To install: First, backup your Skyrim/data/actors/character/animations folder just in case you do not like these animations (particularly if you're installing manually). Then, use Nexus Mod Manager to install, or copy the meshes folder into the Skyrim/data folder and overwrite when prompted. To uninstall, remove the .hkx files from the meshes/actors/character/animations folder. Use the zip file you downloaded as a guideline.

I'll eventually make the animations for while mounted. The left arm not playing the animation while moving is a behavior file issue, and there' s nothing I can do about it at this time.
