"Look alive, will you!" - my intent behind making this mod :)

NPC Animation Remix adds to your game more animations to help NPCs look more lively and dynamic:

• 4 new variants of mt_idle.hkx for NPC - reduces probability of followers going in sync drastically! My mod will be especially helpful with Inigo, Lucien, Skeever, Kaidan and any other follower with default follow package
• makes less noticable animation inconsistencies with NPCs stumbling and failing to start "casual idle" animation loop
• adds some previously unused, not often enough used and new animations with appropriate conditions... immersively, if I may

My other DAR mods: Gesture Animation Remix (DAR) - LE | Conditional tavern cheering (DAR) - LE | Immersive folded hands (DAR) - LE
See my mods combined in this comparison video




Necessary to read information:

• 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.
• Considering how safe and easy it is to uninstall this DAR type of mod, you can try it now and ask questions later...
• In my game I use EVG Conditional Idles and EVG Animation Variance and I made this mod fully compatible will default priority numbers of EVG folders
• If you`re using EVG Animation Variance with special animations for elders, install patch from optional files   no need since 1.1 version of EVG Animation Variance was released
• If you want to install any pack of replacer animations such as "Leviathan Animations - Female Idle Walk And Run" alongside my mod, you can easily do that. Install it in your mod manager and place it`s folder lower than this mod`s folder - mt_idle.hkx replacer from replacer mod will blend into my mod.
• If you want to add Sky Idles on top of this choose "Sky Idles alternative version" download in Sky Idles mod`s files
• You can safely install it for Skyrim VR - I wasn`t using "IsInCombat()" condition
• If don`t use mods like Dual Sheath Redux, install patch from optional files. Its files will overwrite shield patches from my other mods - it OK and intentional
• Remove previous version of my mod with all it`s files then updating - "replace" option in mod organizer. Don`t forget to add needed patches - 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 "NPCAR DAR" and it will fix this
Other mod manager users - extract the zip file and rename the "NPC Animation Remix (DAR)" named folder to "Data", repack and install

"animations" folder contains base replacer of idleexamine.hkx and other base replacers in folders "female" and "male" - all these animations will load outside of DAR and act as a base coat of paint to help this mod look as was intended

Plans for future updates:

• Refine animations to make it look more natural 
• Tweak conditions for even better pace
• Add more idles

This mod made with reused and previously unused vanilla animations extracted from Animations.bsa and modified with hkxPoser by opparco, when it was needed. Another mod I couldn`t make it without - More Informative Console by Linthar - I used it to reveal information about NPCs, objects and locations to apply as part of conditions in DAR
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!
