📋 About This Mod
WALK LIKE A WOMAN
This mod turns off the "opposite gender" animations for feminine NPCs, so they walk like women instead of men. It works for Lydia, Jordis, Iona, Jenassa, Mjoll, Irileth and Delphine. It will work with Total Character Makeover and Vanilla NPCs.
Please Note:
1. This mod only works if it is activated before any character it affects is met for the first time. If this mod is activated and a save game is played where any of the above listed characters have already been met, those who have been met will still walk like men.
2. This mod uses an ESP. This means that this will not work with any mod that changes an NPCs appearance that uses an ESP. You will have to change the opposite gender animation on the ESP that changes the character's appearance.
3. If you activated Walk Like a Woman before you met these characters, then met them all, and the animation change is working, you are then safe to add another esp. that changes the character's appearance. The characters will still walk like women.
Walk Like a Woman is a small animation mod that disables the opposite gender animations for feminine NPCs, making them walk like women instead of men. It has 1,625 endorsements and 36,752 downloads, last updated in July 2017.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,625 endorsements and over 36k downloads.
- Fixes a common immersion-breaking issue for players who notice NPC walk cycles.
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop it in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects feminine NPCs; masculine NPCs are untouched, so it's a narrow fix.
- Potential conflicts with other animation mods that alter NPC movement.
For players who are bothered by NPCs using the wrong walk cycle and want a quick, lore-friendly fix. If you're into heavy animation overhauls, this might be too subtle, but it's perfect for a vanilla-plus experience.
💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use other animation mods, load this one after them to ensure its changes take priority.
- Check the mod's compatibility with your game version, as it hasn't been updated since 2017.
