📋 About This Mod

This mod replaces the forward and the side directions for the female walk animation.

I wasn't originally planning to release this, I made it exaggerated to better spot and correct unnatural movement for my wip animation project (for light armor characters as opposed to "Leviathan Animations" which focuses on heavy armors/heavy weapons), so the end result will be part of another mod that is more grounded, nevertheless, someone asked me to upload this as it is before I overwrote it, if you find it to your liking, then I'm happy for you!

Previews of v1. 2 (final update):

Requirement

  • []None if using the main file version.

  • []Conditional Armor Type Animations if using the CATA Addon version. This will make the player character and the NPCs (except old people and children) play this mod's animations when wearing no light nor heavy body armor.

    Recommended

    • []True Directional Movement Highly recommended
      • []For non "Conditional Armor Type Animations" Users only: To make the animations apply only to the player character, you can use Dynamic Animation Replacer and drop the animation files in the following (DAR PCEA) folder structure: data\Meshes\actors\character\animations\DynamicAnimationReplacer\Skyrim.esm\00000007\female

        Installation

        • Use any mod manager or manually copy the content from this mod's 'Data' into your Skyrim SE 'Data' folder
