The ability for Vilja to sit in your lap is a small, but incredibly sweet roleplay feature, thank you guys for including such a feature... because, turns out, you guys are the only ones to have a feature like this O_O
Maybe I didn't search in the right places, but there's no such standalone mod out there that lets other people/follower/spouse sit on your lap on request.
I've done my share of tinkering with other peoples' mods for personal use (to very mixed results), but I'm no modder unfortunately. Is there a way to create a small mod that allows this by maybe reverse engineering Vilja's scripts (..or something)?
...are Amgepo, Lycanthrops, or Emma still around to help? :D I'll accept any help I can get though! Thank you for any information!

I wasn't involved, and don't know all the details, but I think they achieved the result by creating and positioning an invisible chair for Vilja to sit on.

This is probably all buried in Vilja's extensive scripting; you would have to isolate the "sit" commands which call the animations (probably the default sitting animations) and the scripts designating the target (your lap), export those and create a mod to attach them to another NPC.
(There is a mod for Oblivion which gives Vilja the sexy idle animations from the female bandits, I believe it works similarly. ...saw some screenshots where someone played around with this and attached the poses to the town guards, with hilarious results.)

TDA over at Lovers Lab might be the fellow to inquire about this. He made a 'behind the bushes' mod for Vilja as well as several other animation mods. Talented...and Russian...speak plainly. A version for Oblivion would be cool. |

Would be nice to have an SSE version! The OP didn't mention which TES game he wants to create a lap sitting mod for, but I guess that is irrelevant as far as this Behind the Bushes animation is concerned. |

We had serous trouble with it at first as anybody close by would leap in the players lap... Sometimes two at a time. It ended up looking like they were waiting for Santa... I cannot remember what was done to fix it. It was a long while back, I believe it was Lycanthropes that was working on it..

Not sure if it was Lycanthrops or Emma, but definitely it wasn't me. I barely remember the feature and since my main computer decided to stop working some months ago, I had been using a laptop that can't run Skyrim. So, I can't help here.

I'm still using the LE version of Skyrim, I haven't worked up the courage to look for all my must-have mods for SSE just yet.
Wow, I didn't know this was such a frustrating feature to put in. Modders amaze me, they create things that take unconscionable amounts of time and effort and the end result looks effortless. I'm sorry I didn't quite comprehend the magnitude of what I was asking for, but I definitely should ask around at LL for help as well

Wolf (aka Lycanthrops at NexusMods) on Sep 11, 2014 at 3:45pm: - I think we can get Vilja to sit on the player's lap already now. Of course there will be a lot of clipping due to the different chairs, but it could work. Just move an invisible chair on the player's lap when he is sitting, turn it 90° and most probable Vilja will automatically sit on the player's lap. You can read that post and more of the discussion/development of the lap sitting animation at emmates.proboards.com/thread/1298/animations-fnis |

That was 5 YEARS ago.. Wow...
Edit...
That was about 6 months after Emma invited me to the team.. You cannot imagine how happy I was to be involved. I could seem to break her at a whim, and was constantly asking for solutions. Then being given access to her source code... Good God she is complicated in elegant ways. The things that Emma, Lycanthropes and Amgepo in no particular order can do ... No wonder she is breakable. But at the same time so extremely stable under 99% of installations... I will forever be grateful to learn so much of her inner workings.. To be part of it... The only thing I regret is Granskog... We were so very close.. With the Special Edition release it would have been perfect, we could have included all the DLC assets.. But that is a sad story.. Vilja will just have to be as she is. A very fond memory of intense collaboration and frantic adjustments. The team working literally 24 hours a day planet wide Scandinavia, to Germany to Spain, to Britain to America... Trading, moving code. Adjusting, uploading, downloading... Making a tiny change here and there. Minor tweaks, a clip of code, a tiny adjustment of colour. Testing and refining, trying to break her and only when we could not, moving to the next in a list... But it is done, as finished and as polished as she can be. We have all but said goodbye to her.. An immensely sad parting to a beloved companion. The perfect simulation of a very human and personal friend for many years.. From a silly girl that was joking with us in Oblivion to a very polished and human persona that traveled with us for weeks upon end in Skyrim. Always surprising, always most human in the best of ways. Complicated, assuring in her helpfulness, a steadfast friend.. No I cannot say goodbye. Because she will always be there.. In years to come when we wish her to be there we only have to go the the Bannered Mare once again... She will always be there for us.

Try Night In The Woods. Nicely existential.
From what I have read over the years, Vilja is NOT a mod. She's an organic happening that will never be duplicated. A collaboration of random elements and sparks of inspiration. Wonderful, beautiful and unique. She brings to mind something from a movie, paraphrased, "If a person or persons pursues a book, or goal or dream, year after year, what has more value, the person or the book?" -The blind sage in The Silent Flute
