YY Anim Replacer – Princess Horse Riding
This mod replaces horse riding animations with sidesaddle, a way of ladies riding.
The subtle change provides you more immersions and helps your role playing.
Do you know the sign of Chinese zodiac of 2014?
Take a guess. It’s the horse!
So I decided to make something related to horses.
This mod replaces horse riding animations with sidesaddle, a way of ladies riding.
The subtle change provides you more immersions and helps your role playing.
Features
Sidesaddle makes your female character look elegant.
Covering most of horse riding animations. Idle, Walk, Trot, Run, Sprint, Jump, Swim, Rear up, Mount and Dismount.
(T)BBP Compatible
Downside:
Mounted combat is not covered. Sidesaddle doesn’t suit for combat.
All NPCs do the same animations. But it is rare to see NPC riding on a horse.
Installation
I strongly recommend you to use MO/BAIN/NMM to install.
[MO and NMM user]
Activate and follow the instructions of installation wizard.
[BAIN User]
Open Installers tab, right click, select “Wizard”, and follow the instructions of installation wizard.
[Manual]
Open the archive, choose exactly one folder, rename it “data”, then copy “data” folder to your “Skyrim” directory.
Each hkx file should be placed in “Skyrim/data/meshes/actors/character/animations/horse_rider/”,
but only “paired_mount.hkx” and “paired_dismount.hkx” should be placed in “Skyrim/data/meshes/sharedkillmoves/human&horse/”, because those two are paired animation.
Uninstallation
This mod has no esp, no script, no havok behavior, so never dirty your save file.
You can uninstall it whenever you want.
[MO and NMM user]
Simply deactivate this mod.
[BAIN User]
Open Installers tab, right click, select “Uninstall”.
[Manual Uninstallation]
Delete the files you installed.
Known Issues
[Critical Issues]
None. I did test play for an hour. There was no critical issues such as CTD.
Though this is the first mod which replaces/modifies horse riding animation, I think. So unexpected issues might occur.
If you find weird behaviors, please report at forum. Showing pictures or videos would be greatly appreciated.
[Minor Issues]
-All NPCs do the same animations. In short, male characters also ride in sidesaddle.
If you think this brakes the immersion, please do not install this mod.
Or, there is a solution that can separate the most of animations into male and female. Check FNIS’ page.
-If you apply FNIS’ “Gender Specific Animations” option to this mod, you’ll see T-pose on the horse occasionally.
It seems quite at random for me. I have no idea of how to fix it.
-There are 1 frame jitters in the transitions between mount and idle, also idle and dismount.
Changelog
