About this mod

All female NPCs and the player use gender specific animations depending on their armor type. Lydia for example uses female animations when wearing light armor/no armor and uses male animations (as in vanilla) when wearing heavy armor.

Conditional Gender Animations

In Vanilla, Bethesda decided to put a flag (called Oppostie Gender Animations) on some women (e.g. Mjoll and Lydia) which makes them use the male animation set instead of the female set. In my opinion it fits them pretty good while they are wearing heavy armor. But they look like silly gorillas when you give them a light armor set or clothing (if you're role-playing or just giving them cosy home outfits with Nether's Follower Framework).

So i created a mod that let females (NPCs and player) automatically use the gender specific animation set including the great walk & run animations of Pristine Vanilla Movement* [optional] depending on which type of armor the NPCs or you are wearing.

*Not required, but recommended to install for the males as females are already covered by my mod. It isn't just a mod but a quality-of-life improvement. Instead of adding new animations it enhances the vanilla movement animations greatly. Get it!

REQUIREMENTS
Dynamic Animation Replacer


COMPATIBILITY
Compatible with EVG Conditional Idles and EVG Animation Variance.
My mod has low priority so other DAR mods should overwrite conflicting animations. That's totally fine.


KNOWN ISSUES
You will sometimes see characters execute male / female animations although they are wearing no armor or light armor / heavy armor. Those are animations ADDED by other animation mods or the same animation is overwritten by another DAR mod in this moment. I can't do anything about it. Females with the hard coded "Opposite gender"-flag WILL use animations from the "male"-folder when the conditions of another DAR mod are met. Females WITHOUT the hard coded "Oppotsite gender"-flag WILL use animations from the "female"-folder when the conditions of another DAR mod are met. It's rare in my load order using many popular DAR mods but u will still see it sometimes.
