📋 About This Mod

Superseded by Leviathan Animations II - Male Idle Walk And Run

---------------------------------------------

This is the male counterpart, of my animation replacer set which currently consists of :

-30 seconds long idle cycle that evolves from a tense poise to a relatively relaxed one.

-Forward and side directions for walk.

-Forward and side directions for run.

The aim of these animations is to give the character a less janky, more intimidating and battle ready feel while out of combat.

Requirement
