About this mod

No esp/esl! Adds 5 short idles with folding hands for NPC and makes standard "folded hands" animation overlay (offsetarmscrossed.hkx) less probable by adding 12 new variants according to NPCs armor type, personality or role in society. Works with NPC from mods as well. This is version for Skyrim Legendary Edition.

Ways to support my modding endeavors: buymeacoffee and Patreon

  • You can install this mod during playthrough and disable/uninstall/reinstall/update at any time as well!
  • This mod works without Nemesis or FNIS. Dynamic Animation Replacer needed only
  • Not conflicting: made using unpopular folder numbers in attempt to stay out of other modders way (If you`ll see in your mod manager my mod`s folders overwrite other DAR using mod`s folder, tell me in the comment section)
  • Mods that change proportions of bodies are compatible, but will affect how animations from this mod are displayed. For example with FK's Diverse Racial Skeletons Legendary Edition mage offsetarmscrossed will look off with tallest and shortest races.
  • This mod is meant to be used with NPC Animation Remix (DAR) - LE for proper balance
  • You can safely install it for Skyrim VR - I wasn`t using "IsInCombat()" condition
  • Best to use with mod like Dual Sheath Redux, but it`s not mandatory
  • If you don`t use mods like Dual Sheath Redux, install patch from optional files
  • Remove previous version of my mod with all it`s files then updating - "replace" option in mod organizer. Don`t forget to add shield patch if you need it - these files you can merge with main folder or install separately if you want
  • If you don`t like some animation from this mod, you can just delete folder with it - use folder structure info below for reference. If you deleted something you didn`t mean to, just reinstall this mod

If during/after installation some sort of error pops up or animations in your game can`t play and you see static pose instead:
Mod Organizer 2 users - rename mod folder in your mod manager to "IFH DAR" and it will fix this
Other mod manager users - extract the zip file and rename the "Immersive folded hands (DAR)" named folder to "Data", repack and install



Folder structure, if you`re interested:
Animations that are not included in "no looped idles" version of this mod are highlighted with this color

2099000923 -- animated offsetarmscrossed.hkx for FemaleSultry voicetype and female spouses with any voicetype or for someone you made wear Bond of matrimony ring (you can add it with console to use with NPC you can`t marry in Mara`s temple) and wearing cloth "armor" (looks like she is playing with her hair/necklace/collar, right hand on hip)
2099000922 -- animated offsetarmscrossed.hkx for FemaleYoungEager voicetype and potential female spouses with any voicetype or for someone you made wear Bond of matrimony ring and wearing cloth "armor" (looks like she is playing with her hair/necklace/collar, right on waist)
2099000921 -- offsetarmscrossed.hkx for powerful mages or people with influence (will play if meets conditions - skill level or by NPC ID) - for now only for males, with females looks off for some yet unknown reason
2099000920 -- mage lvl 50 offsetarms
2099000919 -- old noble offsetarms for females only (desided it looks unsuiting for males)
2099000918 -- priest and noble offsetarms, right hand on top
2099000917 -- priest and noble offsetarms, left hand on top
2099000916 -- offsetarmscrossed.hkx blocker folder with replacer with hands on hips for firm protruding chest plate armors
2099000915 -- animated offsetarmscrossed.hkx for children
2099000914 -- another offsetarmscrossed.hkx for frustrated women in robes and children with right hand on top
2099000913 -- offsetarmscrossed.hkx for frustrated women in robes: tightly folded hands, left hand on top (will play if meets conditions - wears robes and FemaleCondescending or FemaleCoward voicetype or by base ID)
2099000912 -- offsetarmscrossed.hkx for robes: folded hands, left hand on top (will play if meets conditions - clothes and not armor)
2099000911 -- offsetarmscrossed.hkx for robes: folded hands, right hand on top ( will play if meets conditions - clothes and not armor)

2002021 -- optional patch for vanilla shield position: shields - mt_idlehhrightidle as mt_idlelookingd
2002011 -- optional patch for vanilla shield position

-299 -- short idle with folding hands for robes and light armor in "female" and "male" folders
-300 -- medium long idle with hands on hips for robes and light and heavy armor in "female" and "male" folders
offsetarmscrossed.hkx in "animations" folder - acts as replacer and base for this mod (100% probability)



One of the files made by me in Blender with Animation Tools N3+28 by tktk, the rest made from animations extracted from Animations.bsa and modified with hkxPoser by opparco, when it was needed.
And of course, existence of all my mods depends on genius Dynamic Animation Replacer by Felisky384

Big thanks to attackdr0ne for backporting animations to make this mod available for LE!
