About this mod

Quick and dirty copy-paste of vanilla animations so you are not forced to sheath your weapon if you want to retain your sanity.

Permissions and credits
DISCLAIMER.
This is not a mod in the true sense of the word.

All I did was copy and rename some vanilla animations. It is not a good mod, but one that is necessary if you play in 3rd person. If there is a better mod around, please inform me of this in the comments section (if possible, never uploaded anything before.

WHAT IT DOES.

Basically skyrim uses an idle animation when just standing around. They are named something like xxx_idle.hkx
When turning slightly, an animation is played that changes the position of the arms, and makes a turning animation of the legs. These files are usually called xxx_turnleft60.hkx and xxx_turnright60.hkx

The problem is that when a weapon is drawn, the animation will play instantly. So if you are moving your mouse slowly or imperceptably, this will result in a back'n'forth between idle and turn-animation that reminds me more of parkinsons... only far more frustrating to watch.

This "bugg" has stopped me playing this game on multiple occasions since I always want to see my cool armor when playing RPGs.

Since modders have now fixed a lot of the issues I have with skyrim and Bethesda games in general, I felt that it was time to investigate this problem properly. Reason is, no animation mod adresses this problem. Not one! It is beyond me that I am the only one who has this problem. To be honest, I care less about good looking animations, though I would like to have them as well.

My hope is that this file will inform animators that there is a MASSIVE problem with gamebryo 3rd person animations. And that someone with some skills beyond renaming idle-animations can actually create a proper animation package that adresses this issue.

Currently, this file only adresses Great-swords, 1hand swords, sword and shield, dual weild, and bow. There is still a slight twitch because the idle animation is a loop, and turning takes control of the loop of the animation being played. Slow movement restart the animation. However, it is not mind-breaking to watch... in comparison.

If someone creates an animation replacer that fixes this frustration, there is no need to thank me, mention me, or even reference me as "anonymous". I just want to enjoy a good looking skyrim without the frustration of spazzing out.

Note: since I have not really done anything original, I have no claim to the file. However, when it comes to the question of reuploading the file, there are only two options "No" and "Yes, but credit me as the author". I would have prefered a simple "Yes"... but alas...


SOME FINAL BEGGING.
Please please please someone fix sneaking twitch, magic twitch, etc.
