This is a SKSE plugin that patches the behavior at runtime to match whatever skeleton mod you have installed, e.g XPMSE.
Without any form of behavior patches, skeleton mods like XPMSE won't play the proper blending animations when moving. E.g your hands will be at your sides if you cast while moving, blocking animations straight up won't play when moving, and more.
You may be wondering why this was made when Animation Runtime Fixes already has a skeleton patch; that's because ARF was the farthest thing from stable, and I've expanded each of its features and put them into their own mods- this is the first of them.
The differences between this and the original feature in ARF:
Works with custom behaviour mods
Less janky blending
More stable (Fixed crash from BSBoneSwitchGenerators)
Includes character property patching (compatibility with vanilla idles)
Cleaner hooks, no polling or performance impact.
Requirements:
SKSE
Address Library for SKSE Plugins
Install:
With mod manager.
If you are using Pandora, do not tick the Universal XPMSE Patch; this mod does what it does at runtime.
