Animations

Adds animations for looting containers and corpses, harvesting plants, lockpicking doors and chests, opening doors, activating levers, praying, drinking and eating potions and food, equipping armor and opening map.

SKSE and SkyUI (MCM) are required.

Dynamically attaches script and thus compatible with objects from DLCs or other mods. For example: looting animation will work for a chest added by another mod. Drinking potions animation will work for any potions from other mods as well.
Animation is choosen dynamically depending of Z coordinates and height of player and an activated object. So even the same container can be opened with different animations depending on where the player is.
There is camera movement function for looting, lockpicking, harvesting, praying, equipping and drinking. Watch video above. Camera has two different positions that will be selected randomly. Both positions can be customised. This option can be enabled for each animation individually.
Animations aren't made by me. They are default Skyrim animations.

By default it plays animations in third person and return you to first person if you were in this mode. Can be set not to change POV in the MCM, but there are no first person animations.
Can be used with Immersive First Person View[www.nexusmods.com] for first person animations.

Options in MCM:

• Enable/disable the mod
  
• Disable any part of the mod. For example, you can use only lockpicking, opening and drinking animations and disable everything else.
  
• Enable less functional but more safe mode that doesn't use BlockActivation() function and thus prevents from possibile conflicts with other mods. More information in the MCM itself.
  
• Length of each animation and POV for it
  
• Randomisation of the animation length for looting, harvesting and lockpicking to make it more natural.
  
• Enable camera movement for harvesting, looting, lockpicking, praying, drinking or equipping.
  
• Allow NPCs to attack player during animation.

And more.

Download it like a usual mod. Load order doesn't matter. Load the game and make a new save. Then enable mod in the MCM.

Disable mod in the MCM! It's important! Only then delete files or disable it in launcher.

Doesn't change any object in the game. Only dynamically attaches scripts. But, due to BlockActivation() function can be incompatible with mods that affects activation process of objects. You can use a safe mode of this mod if you have problems with compatibility.

If you use Unofficial Skyrim Patch and Animations is freezing after activating ash piles (animations don't play, MCM doesn't work) you need to download Unofficial Skyrim Patch compatibility fix[www.nexusmods.com] from Nexus page of this mod.

Adds scrip to an object you are currently looking at by using OnCrosshairRefChange event and blocks this object from activation with BlockActivation(). When you press "Use" on this object, script selects the animation and plays it, then it actually activates an object. For looting animation it tracks taking items from container and with OnMenuClose event plays animation.

• I have installed the mod, but I don't see it in the MCM.
  - Make sure you have latest versions of SKSE[skse.silverlock.org] and SkyUI[www.nexusmods.com] and try downloading and installing this mod again.
  
• I'm not able to interact with some objects.
  - Some people have this problem for unknown reason.
  Press Emergency Button in the MCM, enable Unblocking mode and try looking at one of the objects you can't interact with. If the message will tell you that this object is blocked from activation, press unblock. Disable "Use BlockActivation" option on the main page of MCM to use a asafe mode of this mod. And use Emergency Button to unblock objects you aren't able to interact with.

• Are the required things needed to use this mod?
  - I guess so.
  
• What is MCM?
