📋 About This Mod
Let's face it: the Skyrim mod scene is female dominated. And, y'know, that's cool. I mean, I get it--I play exclusively as a female character. But that doesn't mean that men don't need some love and attention, too, right? When I lounge by my Lakeview pool, I don't want my husband sitting like an ugly lump on a log. He needs to be sexy, too! And that's why, as my third Nexus upload, I bring you the Ultimate sit animation, men's edition. Similar to my previous Ultimate Sit mod, but masculine style. Sit like an absolute boss.
This is intended for male characters (obviously), but anyone can use it. It was specifically designed for the SOS body, but it should look fine with any normally proportioned body (SAM, vanilla, what have you.)
This is just a replacer, so there's no hard requirements, and no need for FNIS/Nemesis. However, as before, I packaged the file in the player exclusive directory for Dynamic Animation Replacer. If you use DAR, then you should be able to just one-click install this, and it will apply this sit to only a male player character. If you do not use DAR, then you'll need to fish out the hkx file manually and put it into the appropriate directory for your setup. It should be noted that FNIS PCEA2 does not support sit animations. I am not sure about the analogous Nemesis mod. If you use some other custom animation path mod, then you'll need to follow that mod's instructions on where to put the file.
If you wish to use this sit on a specific NPC (say, your husband, for example), then all you need to do is put the hkx file in the appropriate folder for that NPC. It will inside the DynamicAnimationReplacer folder, then inside the folder with the esp name that that character is from, then inside the folder with the 8-digit NPC base ID, then inside the male folder (or female if you wanted a woman to sit with a masculine style.) The file path would look exactly like what I've made, but with a different 8-digit number instead of 00000007. If you want all men to use the sit, the file would just go in animations\male. Instructions are also on the DAR page. If you want a specific race to use the sit, try the fabulous compliment to DAR, the Custom Racial Animation Path (also the best acronym on Nexus :D).
If you wish to use the sit on an NPC, but you still want to install with a mod manager (such as MO), all you need to do is extract the archive, change the directory structure to suit your needs like I outlined about, then just zip the thing back up with any archive tool like 7zip. Then it can be handled by a mod manager.
