📋 About This Mod

     

IMMERSIVE INTERACTIONS

Those that know my previous mods know I'm a sucker for realism and making your characters feel more alive.

I approached this mod with a clear goal: Increase immersion by seeing your character perform context-aware animations when interacting with the world organically. Organic here meaning: without menus, spells, etc: Simply as a natural part of your gameplay adventure.

Most animations work this way: If your hands are free (no weapons/magic/fists), activating items in the world will play a short animation.

Huge Thank you to FLipdeezy for his help making this mod possible. If you haven't already, check out some of his gems. Animated Eating Redux SE edition and SkyJack Simple Woodcutter are great companions of this mod and they never leave my load order.

Also big thank you to Tsaxaman, a very talented animator that helped with the most complex animations in 1. 20. The update wouldn't be possible without him. He has some amazing DAR animations that are not so well known, so check out his profile cause you're missing out on some cool animations like those in UNDERDOG! An amazing mod, check it out and give the author some love!

These are some of the animations included - There are almost 30 different animated interactions

Main Features of Immersive Interactions:

  • []Highly Customizable: Enable or disable interactions via the MCM!
    • []World interactions have more weight and feel more real: Similar to RDR2, things don't just teleport to your inventory, your character must perform an animation before the activation happens. Harvesting, pickpocketing, lockpicking, activating standing stones, opening doors, picking up objects...
      • []Mod adapts to the narrative in your game: Being a Thane means guards of your Hold will salute you respectfully, if you join a side in the CW, you will salute your superior generals, etc.
        • []Bring more life to your NPC interactions: Pet your dog/horse, hug followers, applaud bards, wave hello to children, etc.
          • Compatibility-friendly: Fully compatible with Skyrim Souls, compatible with Simply Knock, auto detection and compatibility with a couple of mods... In general, the customizable nature of this mod, paired with the fact that my mod will never trigger if you draw your weapon makes it so compatibility shouldn't be an issue at all.
