What's this?
The Advanced Animation Framework (AAF) provides custom UI, XML configuration, and various other tools for modelers to play animations from a scalable number of animation packages. Additional behavior controls, relationship features, user interface elements (menus) and statistics tracking are also planned.
AAF has some similar features and technical strategies with CE0's Skyrim mod OSA - Skyrim Ascendancy Engine.
Do I need an AAF theme?
Technically, AAF themes are not required (see below for details). However, it is highly recommended for most users to use one. There is a basic theme here: Basic Animation Theme.
What is an AAF theme?
AAF attempts to provide a lot of flexibility to mod authors and users. Therefore, there are many complex configuration files that are almost optional. The use of these files just depends on what you want to use AAF for. For those who just want to get up and running quickly with AAF, the system may require too much information to know.
Therefore, to make AAF easier to install and use for these users, the concept of themes was introduced in Beta 38. Themes simply group configuration files into an AAF installation. By packaging these files into a gameplay theme, the complexity of the files can be hidden. Users then just need to know that the theme they are installing covers the gaming features they are looking for.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
