How to get rid of Masculine female animations?

[stumpy1975]

I’m about to build a fresh new Skyrim LE, but I was wondering what’s the best way to get rid of those horrible masculine walk/pose animation for all female npc and bandits?

Check out "Synthesis", it's a very versatile tool, that can analyze all enabled plugins and create patches etc.

Specifically look for "SynOppositeGenderAnimsTweak", it removes opposite gender flag from ALL npcs.

You mean on Orcs and female Housecarls? There are mods that do that.

I would recommend using a simple xEdit script that automatically creates a plugin patch tailored for your load order.
One such script can be found here: Mors Feminine Females, but it is intended for SSE and so it creates an ESL plugin (which afaik isn't possible to use in Skyrim LE), so if you want it to be used for Skyrim LE, you will need to find the line that contains "SetIsESL(ToFile, true);" and comment it out.

 

The advantage of using an xEdit script, compared to using some premade plugin, is that the premade plugin will very likely introduce conflicts you will need to solve, and will fix the animation only for selected NPCs (any NPCs added by a mod that premade plugin didn't account for, won't be fixed).
The xEdit script will create a plugin that won't have any conflicts you need to solve (unless you already had other conflicting plugins overwriting same NPCs), and will fix every single NPC, no matter what mod they come from (if that is what you want), and it also works for Orcs and Orc Vampires (a fix for Orc females requires changing the female behavior file on the OrcRace, and this script does that).

 

Another solution would be using Wrye Bash - i think it has an option to fix the Opposite Gender Animation flag on NPCs when you are creating the bashed patch.
But afaik that will not work for Orcs, because unless i am mistaken, Wrye Bash only removes the Opposite Gender Animation flag, but doesn't fix the female behavior on the OrcRace.

There is also a option for orcs in the menu of wrybash. I do not know, if it works thou, i did it yesterday, but not encountered any orc females yet.
