But then came this mod, which not only gave us ladders but much, much more. For years, I believed I would never see one. I honestly believe that functional ladders aren’t too much to ask for, but apparently Bethesda’s attempts never went well. I’m sure I’m not the only one who noticed that ladders don’t work in any Bethesda games. Even if you choose not to use that one, this alone will make the in-game female NPCs look a lot more lively and believable. I can’t complain with that approach, because the facial animations do look very nice. The author of this mod wanted to make the expressions a little more exaggerated so that they’re more pronounced during the game. The expressions appear to be a lot more noticeable. While the author of the last mod has one that does that same thing, I think this one does it better. I have another facial expression mod, this one for female NPCs and player characters. It’s a very minor thing in the grand scale of things, but it’s a change I can’t play without. There are subtle changes in the movement of eyes, lips and brows that make these facial expressions more animated. While Skyrim has decent facial expressions, this mod tinkers with the facial morphs to make these expressions more distinct. So I don’t have to elaborate on why this mod is nice. And in Skyrim, we spend a lot of time talking to people. Without facial expressions, you might as well be talking to a robot. Expressive Facial Animation -Male Edition-įor starters, let’s begin with expressions. But before I jump in, the list doesn’t include Nemesis or Dynamic Animation Replacer, but almost all the mods depend on them.ġ5. The ones I’m covering are going to really change things up. I’m going to skip mods that replace animations, those are a matter of taste. Every now and then I’m seeing things that I never thought were possible in Skyrim. While Skyrim modding is as old as the game itself, the animation category is going through a Renaissance of its own right now. But thankfully, the power of modding lets us fix that. To be frank, they weren’t excellent to begin with. But as the game grows older, the outdated animations haven’t aged too well. We all love Skyrim, and we all love modding Skyrim.
