Pristine Vanilla Movement
Base Animation Replacer by Everglaid



I've always stuck to vanilla movement, even with the many options out there. I just like how it looks.
After delving into making some run/walk anims for another project (hehe) I noticed little things in vanilla that I can't unsee.

This mod edits the vanilla run & walk animations, fixing broken loops, jittery limbs, 'clicking' motions, etc.
It also stylizes a bit, smoothing out arcs and changing posture. Animations are more casual looking. Run has a slight bounce.

Covers all 8 directions, walk, run, sprint, male & female.

Installation:
Please use a mod manager.
Safe to uninstall mid-game.

Requirements:
None.

Recommended Mods:
True Directional Movement - 360° movement & procedural leaning
SmoothCam - prevents any camera location/fov snapping

Compatibility:
This is just an animation replacer like other mods.
Feel free to use this as a 'base' mod and have other animation sets overwrite this one, based on your preference.
Many animation sets do not cover the 6 backward animations. (do any?)

useless animation info, what i changed if you care, FAQ:
Spoiler:  
Show

goals:

- fix broken things
- make it look the way i want lol
- look casual, calm and less intentionally 'pretty' or 'intimidating'
- but still vanilla-ish! still can be interpreted as above! but it's less in your face
- should look better on a variety of character types
- as in large/thin/timid/buff, etc

actual run changes:

- jittery, freezing legs > smooth arc
- upper body 'clicks' > softened
- most arm movement in forearms > more whole arm movement, less elbow arc
- added slight vertical bounce (insp. from SFRA :)))
- reduced stomach mesh stretching
- straighter posture
- less chicken dance looking
- broken fingers fixed???

walk:

- smoother elbow bending
- broken diagonal walk loop fixed (wtf bethesda)
- more casual posture/angles
- reduced joint snapping when foot makes contact with ground
- clavicles move less
- improved possible skirt clipping

sprint:
- broken fingers again
- female sprint has this odd right hand wave, fixed

technical details that some other movement mods leave out >:(

- skirt bone animations are intact
- as close as i can get to seamless looping (obviously)
- footstep sounds intact
