Animated Potion Drinking SE





WHAT THIS MOD DOES. 

Back when SLE was very popular a mod came out that allowed you to have an animation while drinking a potion. The mod itself however had a couple limitations. One of them being that it prevented the player from being able to move while the animation played. Then came another user by the name of migeandend who updated and modified the mod. His version introduced movement and allowed players to move while the animation was playing. This was a great improvement because it meant that you not only got the animation but now you could run and take cover if you were drinking a potion mid-combat. Now when SSE was in its early stages the mod was ported over by another author after OG author gave open permission. However, that modder has since left the modding scene, to the best of my knowledge, and the mod had not been updated since 2018. So here is were I came in with a minor albeit update to the mod. Hence me re-uploaded a recent version to it.

  So this mod is an updated version to AcceleranDog's 
Potion Animated Fix SE, which is a SSE ported version of migeandend's wonderful mod Potions Animated Fix,  which was an improved version of manaflow's Potions Animated for SLE. Confused yet? No? OK.

In this version, I have updated and removed minor unnecessary edits to the mod and updated the ESP to no be flagged as an ESL file. Now, I did this several month's ago and cannot remember what all I did. I have had this mod stored and forgot to upload it.
Things I can guarantee you is that the mod just works.


What is has;
  • MCM
  • Flagged as ESL.
  • Customization
  • Nemesis compatible.



CURRENT REQUIREMENTS

  • SKYUI
  • NEMESIS OR FNIS [Make sure to run the engine after install!]



Compatibility

  • Compatible with anything except for those mods which change potion effects. If you have some of them, please make sure this mod is below all of them, or you may have some strange issues, such as the NPCs won't drink potions and the potion effect works twice.
  • The patches for other mods will be made in the future...probably. (FB said CACO is too complex to make a patch by himself, so...)

So here are further USEFUL details of the mod based on the OG's page:


Overview

  • Faster animation.
    I've made a better animation file so that it becomes shorter and faster (1~2s).
  • Walk while drinking.
    Just like Dark Souls, you only can walk while drinking.
  • Stay in combat.
    Tackled the issue that "get character's weapon force-sheathed before drinking a potion " in both original and flee version( Drazhar753's "Potions Animated (Flee while you drink)").
  • More animated potions.
    This mod will work with all the restoration potions (Health, Stamina and Magica), cure disease, cure poison potions and vampire's blood bottles.

Other Improved Things

  • Add a MCM menu. Including a switch of this mod and some other options.
  • Make the sound and light effect appear in correct time, adapt for the animation.


Important

  • PLEASE ACTIVE THIS MOD IN MCM AT THE FIRST TIME.
  • If you already use the original mod or flee version, please start a new game, or make sure you know how to stop their scripts and make a clean save. Then you can overwrite them by this mod (we make our files have same names as theirs).
  • NPCs still will NOT be animated, because both of us don't know how to add the animation to them like tktk's Ultimate Combat does. If someone knows how to do that, please let us know.  In 1.20 they can do that.
  • Please use hotkeys to drink potions to have the best experience.
  • Due to Skyrim itself, animation can't work while jumping or falling.
  • If you're shacked, knocked down, blew away or something else interrupt the animation while drinking, you may have chance to get a BUG that makes your character cannot attack. You can tackle it just by changing your weapon. My partner has made some protective settings to "fix" this situation, but, still, try to protect yourselves while drinking.
