Male Player Animations

12 new 50-second long idle animations for your male characters. Extra empty folder padding + optional mt_idle replacement. There is no esp/esl plug-in, only the DAR folder of self-made animations. Examine armor, rub shoulders, scratch heads, fold hands in different ways, look around curiously, shift body weight from one leg to another...

The Male Player Animations DAR mod adds a plug-and-play pack of 12 new idle animations to bring male skeletons closer to life-like characters. Each animation is 50 seconds long, which feels minimally repetitive and more interesting than the shorter animations you might use.

Depending on the situation, you can see your character inspecting armor, rubbing shoulders, scratching his head, folding his hands in different ways, looking around curiously, and naturally shifting his body weight from one leg to the other.

When your character is rested and in a good mood (or has the comfort of a lover or the care of a father), there will also be special free time to play. The bees swinging around the hive idle, doing extra immersion and animation, doing exercises to warm up when cold, this can also be noticed when standing in a companion's yard before training :)

A large portion of idle is conditional and spinning at all times. By the way, you can add this model to Endral and most of the idlers will do the work.

Necessary basics to use DAR mod you need to know beforehand:

This plug-in-free DAR mode can be installed, uninstalled or updated at any time in your game.

All my models are compatible with each other

Only the dynamic animation replacer is involved in idle gameplay, so you don't need to re-run Nemesis or FNIS if you have it.

If you use the open source DAR instead of OAR, it should handle my animations just like DAR does.

If you don't use mods to put a shield on your back, and in game your character has a shield on his left hand, like in normal game, install the shield patch from the optional files, placed after the main mod to override the default conditions.

How to install

Add the main mod archive to your mod manager and follow its standard installation process.

If you use EVG conditional idle, you can download the optional patch archive and add it there, placing the original EVG in conditional idle mode. Don't forget to activate new files :)

You can download the empty folder from this mod to add other idle animations, please read the customization section.

It is also possible to install DAR mods manually like this by simply copying the folder into the correct DAR folder, but this is not recommended as you will not be able to update properly.

How to uninstall

Delete the mod file in your mod manager.

How to update

Download the new master file version and replace all files with the new version files. Add an archive containing the optional files you want.

Possible mod conflicts

DAR folder number conflicts are the only type of conflicts my mods can have. This doesn't break the game, but if _condition.txt overwrites this file in another mode, it will cause the animation to play at the wrong time or not play at all.

If you see my mod's files overwriting some other mod's files, please tell me which one in the comments and I'll try to change the DAR folder numbers on my side to avoid conflicts.

Installing the SSE animation offset replacer without heavy muscle walking and idle will change how male characters animate in this mode. Most of them look okay, but the animation of the crossed hands might be off. If those animations don't look good, just delete the folder containing them. Or disable SSE without heavy muscle walking and idle, you can do it anytime.

100% compatible with FNIS/Nemesis based players only. If you want to add animations from sky idle mode only using DAR, use 10 empty folders and place them above the animations for this mode. Read more below.
