About this mod

Replace the Jarl sitting animation with the ones used by Arch Curate Vyrthur during the Dawnguard questline. Using OAR, all animations are randomized.

LEGENDARY version can be found here! Thank you Xtudo!

I always loved the animation used by Arch Curate Vyrthur as he's sitting on his throne. It's a nice balance between imposing and relaxed, and doesn't look as goofy as the default Jarl sitting animation to me. Therefore, I used Bethesda Archive Extractor to extract the animation from the BSA, and then replace it by renaming it. Very simple.

FEATURES

All 3 animations are randomized thanks to Open Animation Replacer, each with a 25% chance of playing. If none of them gets chosen, vanilla animation will be played instead.

Animation 01


Animation 02


Animation 03


INSTALLATION

Optional Files

The following files do not require OAR
  • Gender Specific: Choose between replacing it only for Male characters or Female characters. Affects all NPCs of the chosen gender. REQUIRES Fores New Idles in Skyrim SE - FNIS SE or Nemesis. Remember to check and run GENDER Specific Animations in patcher.
  • Vanilla: Simple default replacer

Old Files
The following are legacy files that will not receive any support, but I keep them up for people who may want to use them.
  • Player-Only: Replaces the animation only for the player with one of the 3 selection. Not randomized.
  • MFSAO: Randomized all 3 animations with DAR, made for use with older DAR versions of Modern Female Sitting Animations Overhaul
  • NPC AR: Randomized all 3 animations with DAR, made for use with NPC Animation Remix (DAR)
  • Randomized: The original DAR version of this mod.

COMPATIBILITY


KNOWN ISSUES
These animations aren't mine, so I won't be making any modifications to them specifically. You, however, are free to do so, as long as it follows Bethesda's own guidelines.
  • Arms may look floaty because the Jarl's chairs don't exactly have high arms. This affects even the normal Jarl animation.
  • With Animation 01, some minor clipping may occur on certain chairs, such as Windhelm's Palace of the Kings throne.
  • The start up animation will show the character using the default Jarl pose, but immediately switching after they're fully sitting.
