While you guys are rewriting evolutionary theory, could someone try to ad-dress Vilja's legs clipping in those elven gowns? Cute. Didn't think we were rewriting anything but it does kinda fit. As for the outfits that's a different subject and requires a 3d modeler that's better than me to redo the vertices weighting to prevent the clipping. animations isn't the cause of clothing and armor clipping, it just shows bad vertices weighting. take a thigh for example, to not have clipping it needs to have the same vertices weighting as the leg or close enough since the vertices count in that area wil not be the same. Cheap and easy trick is to not have a body under the clothes but with nightgowns and dresses that will look odd. I shouldn't have used the word theory but it very much evolution. It's honestly amazing to me to see how far body animation and function has come. I feel reasonably certain I'd be hurling my monitor out the window trying to make things look right. I don't know how you people do it. Or maybe there are a number of rubber rooms filled with used graphics programmers. Sitting in the corner on the floor humming one note tunes to themselves and periodically banging their heads against the walls and letting loose with a primal scream or two. I had one program. I can't even remember what it was, where the females had some simply stunning outfits. I got some ad ons for the program and upgraded it. Meanwhile someone with a feminine hiney fetish had made improvements. Every damned one of the figures had their butts clipping through the back of their dresses. A friend and I were running the program one evening when her mom came in to be treated to female gluteus maximus maximus over and over on the monitor. She had the most peculiar look on her face. From that time on she viewed us both as just a little more mental than baby brother who fed the VCR PB&Js on a regular basis.

That is really strange.

That is really strange. You need to try it. Push the sammich slowly in then suddenly it sucks it in and the door shuts with a small satisfied smack sound. We gave him his own dead VCR to play with that can easily be opened to remove the impaled remains. Works best if the bread is lightly toasted.

I don't mind off-topic posts, but I think it would be really good if this particular thread stayed on topic. Pretty please...

This may sound silly, but Vilja is a bit childish and it might be fun if she could skip on one leg. If it could be done also with smaller persons, her sister Tindra could do it, too.
som other ideas...
- looking scared by putting her hands on her cheeks the way people do when they are scared or embarrassed.
- wiping a tear from her eye (in vanilla one can only wipe sweat from ones forehead)
- I'm not sure if there already exist an animation where an npc makes potions "the oblivion way", i.e. by holding up a potion and looking at it as if he/she had just made it.
- blow a kiss

- facepalm - turning her back to a person or the PC in frustration and folding arms on chest (already in use) - hands on hips, scowling or smirking - flounce arms - Rolling eyes - stamps foot, hands on hips, scowling - stares fixedly at person (are you out of your mind??) - walks away, shaking her head - sits, flops on ground, scowling - refuses to move - up in your face minx - just what did you mean by that comment/action - brows raised in surprise - say what???
- Offers a skeever tail, mammoth snout or whole large fish between two slices of bread. "I made you a snack!" - When drunk, wields a mammoth snout as a club, weapon, as she explains she fit and ready to fight. - waves hand in front of face (accompanies comment, 'Was that you? What did you eat?)

So many good ideas here! I have only a couple more in mind. Waving (goodbye or hello ), resting one of her hands on her chin (thoughtfully?), running one of her hands through her hair (or on top of it), rocking her torso from side to side slightly (cute and playful?), tilting her head to one side and sitting on the ground with her arms around her raised knees. What do you think?

First one I thought of as well. Maybe over the top pretend male posturing and she can tease male player characters by saying "I am the Dragonborn" and walk about like that for a few moments then laugh. Covering her mouth and yawning.

- throws arms in air (Oh forget it, I give up!) - scratches head (perplexed) - checks fingernails - looks down at herself, turning from side to side (checking her attire) (Do I look fat in this outfit) - shades her eyes, gazing into the distance. (works with present comment 'are you sure you know where you're going?')
One I have thought of from nearly day 1 with Vilja. She looks down at her side as if to check her bag/purse/satchel. A gigantic bag large than her suddenly appears. Happens when DB asks to check extra storage. Bag vanishes when menu is closed.

Convenient horses has a wave and a beckoning animation, so both of those might be useful.

If horses wave and beckon, I'm going to quit the game and rethink my life. Oh... the mod has that. Should also have Vilja, halter and lead rope in hand, trudging across mile after mile of the landscape as her horse prances and teases, refusing to be caught. Add Vilja picking up a rock and considering throwing it at the horse.
-When Vilja is given the opportunity to take the lead and the PC followers her it would be nice to be able to ask where she is going. Vilja would then point vaguely in some direction. -Have an Inconvenient Horses mod where the horse spooks at every rabbit, fox, deer or other animal, sometimes bolting for the wide open spaces, refusing to rein in. -After camping, telling Vilja 'Let's go'. She says 'No' and goes back to bed.

OOP. Forgot one that really is needed. Riding double on horses. It's either that or a horse for every person following.

Just in case this hasn't been covered already.
- hugging animation while sitting on player's lap. - kissing animation while sitting on player's lap.
(at present, a hug can only be performed by standing up)

I was riding along with Vilja and there was poor Tindra running along behind us trying to keep up. It occured to me that it would be nice if she could ride on Vilja's horse behind Vilja, hugging Vilja's back. That is unless Tindra could be given her own small pony.
I'm not sure if that would require an animation, but I'll post it here for now.

I'm not sure if that would require an animation, but I'll post it here for now. That's why I suggested riding double. Today Vilja, Sindra and Tindra were following. Ran from Dargonpoint to Amber in Falskar then told Vilja to wait there. Ran back to the road coming up from the lower region and waited. Almost 10 RL minutes later, here comes Tindra.
