Photo Mode Poses Expanded

Photo Mode Poses Expanded

95 new poses for Starfield's photo mode

Vanilla photo mode gives your character nine poses. This adds 95 more — and the download is a single 27 KB plugin.

No script extender. No dependencies. No new animations, meshes or textures.

How a 27 KB mod adds 95 poses

It doesn't ship any animations. It doesn't need to.

Starfield is full of animation Bethesda authored for dialogue and quest scenes — characters standing, listening, arguing, reacting — and almost none of it is reachable in photo mode. This plugin makes 95 of those selectable.

Everything you pose with is Bethesda's own work, already installed on your machine. The mod is just a list.

What you get

Body language, no props:

Arms Crossed · Hands Behind · Hands Together · Hands On Hips · Wounded · Cower · Captive

Two poses the game shipped but never switched on:

Captive and Arms Crossed exist in the game files with no way to select them. They work fine. They're in.

Performance poses, one per scene so no two are variations of each other, each named for the moment it was authored for:

Alert · Alarm · Briefing · Arrival · Meeting · Conversation · Explaining · Directing · Questioning · Menacing · Speech · Greeting · Discussing · Farewell · Argument · Awe · Reunion · Confrontation · Decision · Mercy · Aftermath · Negotiation · and more

Install

Drop FieldOS_PhotoModePoses.esm in your Data folder and enable it, or install with a mod manager.

Then restart the game fully — plugins are only read at startup, so loading a save won't do it.

In photo mode, step POSE CATEGORY across to CANDID. All 95 are in there, separate from vanilla's list.

Uninstall is deleting the file. Nothing else is touched.

I'd rather you know the limits up front than find them yourself.

[]Human body type only. Starfield uses two player skeletons and each needs its own copy of every pose. Only the human one is covered. On the other body type you will not see these at all.[/]

[]No headtracking. Vanilla poses ship paired "look direction" files that drive photo mode's headtracking toggle. Dynamically loaded poses don't have those — including Bethesda's own vehicle and Shattered Space poses — so the head stays where the animation puts it.[/]

[*]These are performances, not statues. Most come from dialogue scenes, so there's some mo
