📋 About This Mod

Modern Female Sitting Animations SE/LE

- Overhaul -

Many things start to grow old after playing a game over a decade

One of them being overused or uninspired animations

Interaction animations seem to be overlooked for the most part in the modding scene

There are many amazing weapon animation sets out there.....

But what is your character supposed to do after the fight?

Using Base Object Swapper different furniture types are given a detection script that allows for

animation swapping on each specific piece of furniture via Dynamic Animation Replacer

Now uses my other mod Sonders Keyword Distribution Resources as a scriptless framework

Includes my own Heel Detection and ElderNPC's no longer use animations

*Update 1. 8 adds player keyword customization similar to my other mods

How to make anims player only

Tutorial steps same as my feminine idles

Step one

open the mod in oar

Step Two

Select User Mode

Step Three

Enable the greyed out PlayerKeyword condition

With this framework it is possible to change sitting animations from being one boring copy pasted animation

Into a unique set of animations with a variety for both furniture and armor types ingame

And that is exactly what this mod does

With 16 new sitting Idles that dynamically fit your characters situation and clothing

3 Chair Idles 3 Barstool Idles 3 Bench Idles 3 Table Idles 3 Throne Idles 1 Misc chair Idle

Most animations are supported by adult Female NPCS including

Female only versions of my recent Improved Table Transitions Animations

Also includes High Heel Variants supported via SKDR

or optionally with High Heel Condition Spel

  • Adds immersive variety to sitting, making your character feel more alive.
  • Uses modern frameworks (OAR and KID) for compatibility and flexibility.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Open Animation Replacer and Keyword Item Distributer as dependencies, so you'll need to grab those first.
  • Only affects female characters—male sitting animations remain untouched.
  • Last updated in March 2025, so check for any recent patches if you're on the latest Skyrim version.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Install Open Animation Replacer and Keyword Item Distributer first, then this mod, and make sure they're all active in your mod manager.
  • Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to handle file conflicts—this mod should overwrite default animations, but let it win conflicts.
  • Test sitting on different furniture types (chairs, benches, thrones) to see the variety in action.
