WHAT?! I know right? I make REAL mods now! This is a relatively small mod that adds one base sneak animation, with 8 (for now) additional variants, and one-of-a-kind transition animations between standing and sneaking. This is my very first animation mod so go easy on me. This mod will recieve updates as I progress, though in its current state it is fully functional and suffers from no serious issues that I'm aware of. If something crops up do let me know and I'll look into it. All animations are unisex and work for both male and female characters, as well as NPCs.
Compatibility:
INCOMPATIBLE with other sneak idle animation replacers.
COMPATIBLE with weapon-drawn sneak animations as well as movement animations until they are covered by this mod. Should be compatible with pretty much everything else, let me know if there are any issues with overhauls or other gameplay related mods. I'm not a huge sneak person in Skyrim, so I don't dabble much with extensive stealth overhauls, there shouldn't be any problems though.
Troubleshooting:
Currently, this section is only dedicated to a clarification on the Sneak EXIT animation. This animation is different from the others in that it is technically a standing idle, rather than a sneak idle like all the others (It is set to go off only once when you exit sneak, so it shouldn't interfere with any other idle animation replacers, even if they have a lower priority). In order to make sure it plays, I gave it a very high priority in OAR, if this is insufficient in your load order (i.e. another idle replacer mod has a higher priority than it), simply raise the priority of the submod, bigger number means higher priority, just make sure it has the biggest number of any idle animation mod.
Known issues:
1. With some setups, the camera will move slightly down when moving in sneak, currently believed to be a slight mismatch between my animations and the movement ones, this should be resolved when I add movement animations to the mod. I don't think it's a huge problem, I didn't even notice it until it was pointed out to me, but I will fix it when I add movement animations.
2.The character will move backwards slightly when entering sneak. This is a simple placement issue that stems from my much more flawed earlier animations, but correcting it properly will require me to rework every animation individually, and I think it's subtle enough that it's not a huge issue until I get around to it. Personally I think it's still infinitely better than no transition. Nobody has complained about this yet but it irritates me. Fixed in v1.5!

Future Plans:
Next update: Movement animations, resolve Known Issue #1
Future updates: Redo most of the idle animations/Weapon drawn support for the enter and exit animations, and probably other stuff too.

New Transition Animations in v1.5
Two of the eight idle variants:
IMPORTANT! True Directional Movement Users! (So, basically everyone)
If you use TDM's headtracking, it is highly recommended you set the MCM option pictured below to DISABLED! Otherwise there will be visual issues whenever the headtracking kicks in (namely the hand resting on your knee will move with your head, and it looks really stupid.)
