📋 About This Mod

Complete remake of the old Vanargand Animations - Male Idle Walk and Run on Kars' rig.

Can be installed either as a simple replacer with no requirements (make sure no OAR/DAR based mod replaces your locomotion animation if you choose this option), or as a "Conditional Armor Type Animations" addon which can be used alongside other CATA addons to change the actors' animations depending on their armor type, both versions will affect both the player character and NPCs, this mod is now also included in my All-In-One Collection to replace the Vanargand male animations when wearing light armor.

Version 1. 0:

  • Check the mod's posts section for any known compatibility notes with other animation mods before installing.
