A mod forThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimhas been posted by a player on Reddit, showing a comical change to NPC animations.Skyrim’s idle animations have always been rather simple, consisting of head nods or small gestures, with nothing particularly fancy. Now, however, a mod for the title introduces new dynamic animations that can appear at the most inappropriate and hysterical moments.
There arenumerous mods forSkyrim, many of which have become popular among players. These mods can make the fan-favorite title more challenging, change the graphics, or even add new quests. But there are a few unique mods forSkyrimthat seem to serve no other purpose than to amuse players. And the mod recently posted on Reddit is one such addition to the title.

Reddit user Defy_All_Odds has posted a video to theSkyrimsubreddit that allows for ridiculous idle animations. These dynamic moments can apparently occur at the silliest times. Indeed, the clip shows Karliah fromSkyrim’sThieves Guild questsdoing a lively jig while she is talking to the player. Fans ofThe Elder Scrollshave been quick to comment on the video, stating that they too have the animations mod or that the funny movements should have been available in the original game.
Of course, the dynamic animations change is not a very impactful addition. SomeSkyrimmods add new magic, while others help turn the title into a survival game. But not every mod toSkyrimhas to alter the gameplay or add new content. Mods are, first and foremost, a way for players to have fun. And it’s hard to deny that the dances and jigs implemented with the animations mod are entertaining, especially when they affect characters in the most random and outlandish of circumstances.
Some fans ofSkyrimplay with hundreds of mods, while others play with none at all. Some download small additions, and some utilize content that completely changes the game. The details don’t matter so much as the ability to playSkryimin numerous different ways. After more than a decade in the hands of fans, Bethesda has not only focused on delivering great content to gamers but has also allowed gamers to create their own experiences. Now, as fans patiently wait for the next installment in theElder Scrollsfranchise, they have a wealth of mods at their fingertips to play whenever they wish to experience something new.
