Description:
This mod has provide more different style to replace vaniila female stand idle, just try it and I wish you like it. If you like it don't forgot comeback to endorse for support me, Thanks.
OAR updated Description:
The combine oar version are including most of PFI style, you can download it from here, it use different folder name, so you can use with popular oar and extension oar together.
for combine oar, the path is : OpenAnimationReplacer\PrettyFemaleIdles_AIO
for extension and original pfi popular collection oar, the path is :OpenAnimationReplacer\PrettyFemaleIdles,(extension and popular collection share same main folder, but you have no need to worry to replacing each other, becuase they have different sub folder).
As you see even I install all oar version of pfi, I can still toggle to enable/disable for each one with oar menu.
you can change default priority to any value you want, plz check oar descriptions for more information.
The combine version is easy to setup, all condition you add will affect to all idles.
The separate version (popular/extension) are more flexible to setup for each style package.
Notes:
you only can choose one style to use at same time, And all the female NPC will also use the idle when they are not thing to do. (if without dar/oar condition setup)
