About this mod Machine translation

Using its extension system, 5 new menus have been added to SAM, with functions requested by the community: PoseMirror, CopyPastePoseLimbs, Spinner, BatchRunner, and Align.

Screen Archer Menu:

Updated on August 13th:

Version 1.1

Added "Arm Twist" window

Use its expansion system to add 5 new menus to SAM to meet community needs:

1) PoseMirror

2) CopyPastePoseLimbs

3) Spinner

4) BatchRunner

  • Alignment

1) PoseMirror (Mirror a single body part in a pose or an entire pose)

a) From PlayIdle:

  • Apply PlayIdle/Animation first.
  • Buttons to create pose adjustments.
  • Use the same button for removal (toggle).

b) From posture adjustment/SAM posture:

  • Apply SAM poses or pose adjustments.
  • Buttons to edit arm/hand/leg position.
  • Toggle only works with Full Mirror.

Export using the SAM export function.

Use the Current Send/Send button to toggle PlayIdle/SamPose mode.

2) Copy and paste posture limbs (copy and paste body parts between postures)

  • 8 copy buttons to add to clipboard, then switch poses and hit paste button.
  • The clipboard is saved in Straw_PoseClipboard_SamPose.json and Straw_PoseClipboard_Playidle.json is saved in \Data\F4SE\Plugins\ and can be saved on crash and save/load.
  • You can mirror limbs on the clipboard. Mirroring the center bone is not possible. Use Straw_PoseMirror to do this.
  • Use the toggle button to switch between PlayIdle and SamPose. Splints are mutually exclusive and you cannot copy body parts between the two.

3) Rotator (rotate or face character, any object/actor)

Great for display and dress up!

  • Rotation button: clockwise and counterclockwise rotation (slow, normal, fast).
  • Face player button: Makes the target face you (a little weird).
  • All stop buttons restore default rotation.
  • Up to 8 targets/actors can be rotated simultaneously. (This is a soft limit. You can increase it to 36 in F4SE\Plugins\Straw_SamExtensions.ini) Note: I recommend not saving the game while the spinner is running. While all operations are handled through the DLL rather than through the Papyrus loop, so there is no scripting impact on archives, the default object/character rotation may not be restored and objects may be jittery or blurry when loading.

4) Batch Runner (run your bat file directly from SAM)

  • List all your .txtbat files. The file must be in the Fallout 4 root directory.
  • Click on the file to run. The execution is displayed on the console.
  • If a target/actor is selected in the console, the bat will acquire that target.
  • Native game files are hidden. Add your own txt file filter in F4SE\Plugins\Straw_SamExtensions.ini

5) Alignment (Auxiliary tool for aligning multi-person poses/animations)

Pick up one target/actor and place it in the exact same position and rotation as another target/actor!

  • for matching objects/actors. (Just like in this new pose pack!)
  • Actors can be aligned for dual+poses and AAF animations.
  • Copy Position and Rotation: Stores the selected targET transformation.
  • Apply Position & Rotation: Move the selected target to the copied position.

Requirements, incompatibilities, which Fallout 4 version does it apply to?

Requires SAM and its requirements, should be compatible with all systems, only tested v1.10.163.

Are there any other SAM extensions?

Yes! Come check out the unique female pose dummy NPC and animal pose frames!

Nice mod, but can't you just do it directly?

If you have a good idea for a SAM extension, let me know!

Do you have a video guide?

Sadly not, but I highly recommend you make one :3

DLL source?

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
