📋 About This Mod
Opposite Gender Animations Fix
This Mod changes the way both men and women move in Skyrim by removing the "opposite gender animations" from ALL affected NPC's (232 to be exact). Men will now use male animations and women will now use female animations.
Download and install with your mod manager of choice.
This mod must be used on a new save or prior to meeting any of the NPC's affected, due to "opposite gender animations" being stored in your game saves.
This mod needs to be installed at the top of your load order, for greatest compatibility. Any mods changing the affected NPC's, will overwrite this mod and allow that mod to work as the author intended.
If you are using the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, you must install the additional compatibility patch and let it overwrite Opposite Gender Animations Fix.
