📋 About This Mod

Oldrim version page

Nothing new at the moment.

This mod exists for the sake of users who couldn't 'Do It Yourself' convert from my oldrim mod to SSE.

OPTIONAL

============

Female version of the movement with exclusive path already added in v0. 7. To activate female motions so it will distinct from the male, it requires

1. FNIS installation

2. tick "gender-specific Animations" patch-in "GenerateFNISforUsers.exe" application

Of course, if you could also try other stuff like PCEA with either FNIS or Nemesis

- to fix some 'clunky' and 'unnatural' motions (probably)

"THERE ARE THAT WE LIKE BUT THERE IS THAT WE DON"T"

====================================================

I made this section just in case you want to keep some motion still looks vanilla. Look it inside

data\meshes\actors\character\animations\

just delete any file that you don't want to have

- for animation like e.g healing

mrh/mlh_preselfcon.hkx

mrh/mlh_selfconcentration.hkx

- for animation like e.g ward

mrh/mlh_preward.hkx

mrh/mlh_wardloop.hkx

- e.g flames, lightning

mrh/mlh_preready.hkx

mrh/mlh_preaimedcon.hkx

mrh/mlh_aimedconcentration.hkx

- e.g fireball

mrh/mlh_precharge

mrh/mlh_preready.hkx

mrh/mlh_readyloop.hkx

mrh/mlh_release.hkx

- telekinesis

any files that have a word "telekinesis" on the file name

any files that have a word "idle" on the file name

any files that have word "run, walk, turn and sprint"
