Ask your companions to please Stay still in Camp and / or Play idle animations everywhere.
Thanks to my Co-Author Alithea Ancunín for her ideas, creativity, persistence, testing, feedback, witty remarks, video, and screenshots.

This mod adds two passive features and a class action to your characters, allowing you to change the companions', hirelings', and summons' default idle behavior at will. The conditions are intended for screen archery, immersion, roleplay, or whatever else you can think of. The animations  are not necessarily lore conform or in character.

Please, do share your screenshots, we'd love to see what you come up with.

What you get:





Faerûns worst improv Troup

Alithea Ancunín beautifully displays all currently included idle animations and who uses them in this video.

An overview for quick referencing can be found under articles.


What it does:
While in camp:
  • the passive feature Stay still in Camp determines whether companions return to their tent or stay where you place them
  • when used on a chained summon, it will follow their summoner instead of staying at the usual spot
  • the additional passive feature Play animations while standing still starts elect idle animations including some from Wither's reunion after 40 seconds as long as the character idles
While not in camp:
  • Stay still in Camp has no effect
  • the companions will still follow once the current animation is finished while Play idle animations is active
Unrelated to the location:
  • activating Play animations while standing still automatically activates the passive feature Stay still in Camp
  • turning Stay still in Camp off also deactivates Play animations while standing still
  • Remove "Standing Still" and "Animations activated" from everyone sets everyone's behavior back to default (does currently not work for Hirelings, please manually toggle the passives off)
  • all conditions will be deactivated for the duration of potential fights
  • conditions are persistent when saved / reloaded, companions join or leave the active party, and during long rests
