Animations

You No Longer Have to Feel Like a Castoff from Skyrim Bear Jamboree

Choose Your Framework:

FNIS was the only option in town for awhile, but Nemesis expanded on the theme, and now Dynamic Animation Replacer has completely changed the game. Just make sure that the mods that YOU want to use work with whichever you decide on. However, don’t assume that just because a mod description says that it requires FNIS that it won’t work with Nemesis; often that “requirement” was added when the only option was FNIS. So check around and see if others have been able to make it work, by reading the posts section on the mod page and searching Google/Reddit. (For those curious – I currently use Nemesis and DAR.)

Dynamic Animation Replacer (LE|SE) – the beauty of DAR is that it works out of the box, no .ESP, and works in addition to FNIS or Nemesis

Mod Suggestions

These range from general gameplay to combat, to a few other random things. I am an animation newbie myself, so this section will surely expand as I learn and try more. Keep in mind that if you are so inclined, there is a whole crazy, kinky, sexy world of animations out there for you to explore.
