I fell in love with Skyrim when I first played it in 2012. A big part of my enjoyment came from the modding community. Recently, I decided to contribute with a very simple conditional animation mod called “Lifelike Idle Animations DAR Version”.

Check it out on Nexus Mods!

This mod uses the Dynamic Animation Replacer (DAR) framework to set conditions for an animation to play. Simply put, I assigned a condition that only a female player character can use this idle animation.

I didn’t create the animation itself, so I took care to properly credit and follow the open-permissions set by the original creator.

As of May 2023, there have been over 3,000 downloads. I hope to create more mods in the future and see Skyrim modding continue to grow (it’s never going to die lol).
