📋 About This Mod
Simple mod, lets you see your hands when you run in first person. Works for both holstered weapons or no weapon equipped. Check out the video below for a quick demo! I also ramble on what I believe is currently possible with the new animation tool.

There are a few options depending on how you want it to be installed.
Loose files, Recommended!:
Drag and drop into the Starfield directory. The game must have loose file loading enabled in your custom config file. To uninstall, delete loose files added by this mod. Can be removed at any time.
ESM Lite version:
Empty plugin, only to load the archive. Installs like any other mod. No DLC or Mod requirements. Install with NMM/Vortex.
Archive only:
This is just the archive by itself. You must add it to the archive list in your custom config file for the game to load it without a plugin, in case this works like Fallout. I think these are the instructions.
BethesdaNet:
Xbox and PC version on BethesdaNet
Makes no edits to any cells. Doesn't edit any vanilla records. If you choose the plugin option, it contains no records.
This quite simply would not have been possible without the Starfield Animation IO Blender plugin!

💡 Beginner Tips
- Install manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, or use a mod manager for easier uninstallation.
