have you also Ever wanted to use The Stances mod to have multiple animation folders but felt like its kinda cheating to have access to multiple animation sets out of the box ? well, now there are specific conditions that need to be met for each weapon specifically in order to access Each new Stance's Animations.
Read further on how it all works down below.
INSTALLATION
1. Drag and drop the contents of the Archive into your Skyrim Directory.
2. you will also find a text file called "instructions" in the archive which is will give you further information on where to put your animation files.
3. Done.
HOW TO USE
So here's how it works, each weapon from the Vanilla game + the weapons added by the Animated Armoury + the Twinblade from Twinblades of Skyrim Mods have their own specific Folders, for all movement directions (Standing, Forward, Left, Backward, Right) + all 4 Stances (Neutral, Low, Mid, High).
once installed follow the "instructions" text file to find where the animation folders are located, then head to that location inside your Skyrim Data folder and look for Text files with the name of each weapon on them, once you open the text file for a specific weapon, you will see the list of all Folders for that specific weapon and their folder name.
simply put the Animation that you want to put in that specific movement direction + stance in the Folder and there you go, its ready to play.
but hold on, that's only for the animation mods, there are now 2 new conditions in each Stance's folders (other than the neutral stance's Folders which is always ready to go as soon it is set up) to add new requirements in order to have access to the 3 new Stances and their corresponding animations:
Each weapon will now require you to meet a Skill Level threshold in the corresponding Skill tree + a specific Perk from that Skill tree in order to access the new Stances. starting with the Mid stance, then the Low stance and the High stance, each one will require a specific skill level and perk for that specific weapon's animation sets to be used.

COMPATIBILITY
Open Animation Replacer: OAR is backward compatible with DAR, meaning all DAR based mods, folders, animations are out of the box compatible with OAR. you can continue using these folders for your animations and OAR will keep reading them and playing the animations in the game.
BFCO: Fully compatible. you just need to place the BFCO animations in these folders and they will function exactly as they would for MCO, as these folders use DAR commands that are based on Vanilla skyrim, so really, any framework, as long as they read animation files inside your animations folder are fully compatible with this mod.
