About this mod
Replaces characters' sleeping animations to make them sleep closer to each other
- Permissions and credits
Alright, I totally only made this to go along with the new hammock bed I added to my other mod, Tav's Abode. It was too cozy and tempting not to :D
What does this do?
This is an override/replacer. Meaning, as long as this mod is in the modding folder, active or inactive, it will replace almost all of the character's sleeping poses that you get when you click on a single/double bed.
Why?
I wanted them to look cuter when they sleep together, somewhat closer to a cuddle/spooning. It's not perfect, I don't have enough skills to directly edit animations and I don't want to move the two dummies too close, there's too many body variations and clipping would occur for sure.
But, I think they still look much cuter than they normally do this way ^^
A note: this works the best with M/F pairings, because by coincidence their animations are mirrored, and you can almost make them touch each other.
All animations are shared between genders, so all males/females use the same animation, meaning that 2 males will sleep in a sort for side distant spooning, and 2 females will sleep in a side by side fetal position .
Party members also behave the same. I don't know of a way to give each character a specific animation for sleeping, maybe it's possible with scripts, not sure. I'll study that a bit more in the future.
- Most characters use the human poses. I had to manually change Gnome and Dwarf females so they face the opposite side.
- I could not find any such pose for Female Halfling somehow, so they just sleep like they normally do. T_T
- Most characters move and shift during their sleep, so it ends up with cute looking moments where it seems like they drifted away from the partner and then scooted closer again. I say most, but apparently it doesn't work for Elves, even though I replaced their animations to behave exactly like the humans, they don't move during any of the 3 phases of sleep? Maybe it's something to do with the trance, I don't know :C I will keep trying to fix this (I need this for my Astarion and Tav, lol xD).
- Strong females don't seem to have the fetal animation, so I replaced it with the male side animation. You can use them to do a big/small side by side or with a body1 female combo.
- The pics should be self explanatory, but anyway, the character who clicks on the bed first will end up on the left. I recommend using most males/taller/strong people first, but you can try around and see what happens.
- If you want them to not walk away when you click the second character, separate the characters in the group. For camp, you will actually need the Stay Still in Camp mod to stop them from walking back to their tent!
- I have made this to look the best with my hammock. It will work with any other clickable bed, but the body/pillow positions might be a tiiiny little bit off :P
I haven't looked at all the available poses there are in game! If you think there's another pose that is more fitting for sleep, please let me know!
I will keep trying to polish this or add little changes if possible.
Lastly, again, this is an override, and unfortunately I don't know of a way to merge these types of lsf files, if there even is one? So, if you have other mods that edit animations, it will most likely conflict, and the mod loaded last will take charge in which animations are shown.
Feel free to download these files and manually edit/recompile them to your liking if, say, you want your Tav or specific companion to have a file that replaces more than one animation for the same character.
For instance, my other mod Sanguine Midnight replaces AA's standing pose in the same way. So, I made a personal version for myself that allows me to keep both animations, and I load this last. If by any chance you also use that mod and want to do the same, I'm adding a version that contains both in the optional files. ^^
Anyway, that's all! This is just for flair, but I hope you enjoy it even if just for taking cute screenshots. Don't hesitate to let me know your thoughts/suggestions :D
