About this mod

A 3rd person animations replacer specifically made for Fallout 3, features walk/jump and sneak animations.

Permissions and credits

Updates log:

v1.1 - Now includes new female walking animation, forward/backward, created by Frozen(visualcore). You can find the original here. Truly extraordinary work done by the author, send your kudos and Endorsements to them.

v1.2 - Now includes the male walking animations created by VisualCore as well, forward/backward. You can find the original NV mod here. Big thank you to to the author for making the assets open resource. The animations are found in the files: meshes/characters/_male/locomotion/male.




This replacer comes from many different sources on Nexus, I scavenged what I could and came up with a pretty reliable set of animations. I'm sure everyone likes their own preferred third person animations but I also know it can be difficult to find something that works. The Fallout 3 engine is severely outdated and A LOT of animations just cannot be replaced without some sort of complication.

That being said, it's not guaranteed that 100% of these animations will function as intended. Sometimes it's about finding what works best for you. But I kept it simple enough so that the animations should work with the vanilla ones. Both of my "Animation Compilation" mods come directly from my personal Fallout 3, so they should work best when used together.

- The walk/jump animations were made by editing (kf) files to resemble NV animations.

As it goes with my other animation mod, this is very much a work-in-progress and will (hopefully) see updates over time. So if you have any problems, make sure to leave a comment.

Just a reminder that these are THIRD person animations only. You can find first person animations here:
