What this mod does?
Are you tired of the vanilla Dummy-like standing waiting mode? Ever want to replace it with a more immersive way? Ever want to have a Witcher-like meditate waiting mode in Skyrim?
Well, this mod is made just for that! By pressing a custom hotkey, your actor would enter meditation automatically, the waiting menu then will show up automatically after you sitting. After closing the waiting menu (waiting or cancel waiting), your actor would then stand up automatically, whole thing working is exactly likes in Witcher 3!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 445 endorsements and over 10k downloads.
- Adds a cool Witcher 3 vibe to waiting, making it feel more immersive.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the waiting animation; no other gameplay changes.
- Requires a hotkey setup, which might conflict with other mods using the same key.
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches.
For Skyrim players who love role-playing and want a more immersive waiting experience, especially fans of The Witcher 3. If you're looking for gameplay overhauls or combat changes, this isn't for you—it's purely a cosmetic animation tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Set the hotkey to something you don't use often, like the 'B' key, to avoid conflicts.
- Test the meditation animation in third-person view to see the full effect.
- If you use other mods that change waiting or sitting animations, load this one after them to ensure it takes priority.
