📋 About This Mod

Quality of life mod for everyone who uses my Male Player Animations and Female Player Animations idle animations or something similar :)

This OAR mod simply activates still pose while your character is in RaceMenu and deactivates when you exit. Choose between 4 versions: with completely motionless mt_idle animation, hands on hips, A-pose and with vanilla idle (imho too boring for actual gameplay, but good for making cosmetic adjustments and not so mannequin-like compared to the first variant).

This mod is compatible with all other mods!

If you use Show Player in Menus and want player character to stand still while inventory is open, add optional file. Download, install with mod manager, place after any version of main download or merge with main download to overwrite standard config file it has.

To have this pose activated instantaneously your idle mods in Open Animation Replacer have to have Interruptible box checked in submod settings. My updated Male Player Animations and Female Player Animations idles have it configured. But if you are using other idle mods that may not have this check mark in place, you will have to wait untill any of those animations is played until the end to see still pose to be played after. Simply make Interruptible box checked in OAR for all other idle mods you have and this mod will work as I intended.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Stand still in RaceMenu (OAR) is a lightweight animation replacer that makes your character stand perfectly still while in RaceMenu, overriding any other idle animations you have installed. It uses OAR for automatic conditioning, so it works seamlessly with other animation mods. Ideal for players who want a clean, static pose for character customization.

✨ Key Features

Replaces the standing idle animation in RaceMenu with a static pose.
Uses OAR to automatically overwrite other idle animations in RaceMenu.
Can be disabled at the same time, allowing you to toggle the effect.
Compatible with other animation mods due to OAR conditioning.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust with 3,248 endorsements and 1.5M downloads.
  • Simple, focused fix for a common annoyance—no more fidgeting while customizing.
  • OAR integration means it plays nice with other idle animation mods.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires OAR (Open Animation Replacer) as a dependency, which isn't included.
  • Only affects RaceMenu—doesn't change idle animations elsewhere in the game.
  • Last updated in June 2024, so it may not be compatible with future game patches.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who spend time in RaceMenu and hate seeing their character sway or shift during customization. Also for modders who use OAR and want a clean, static pose for screenshots or character creation. Skip if you don't use RaceMenu or prefer dynamic idle animations even in menus.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure OAR is installed and up to date, as this mod relies on it to function.
  • If you have other idle animation mods, this mod will automatically override them in RaceMenu—no manual load order tweaks needed.
  • Check the mod's settings in OAR's MCM to toggle the effect on or off if you ever want the original animations back.
