On Animation

[CorneliusC]

Animation in Skyrim is a rabbit hole of its own. This is an annotated list of the 'Animation and Physics' Mods currently in discussion on the SE forum, listing their respective forum links but also their (possible) prerequesites and dependencies with other mods. This is for me to keep track of developments and the mods i am already using in addition to Step, but also hopefully it might restart some of the discussions and also might give others a better view on how to test and play with different compilations of animation mods and how this might develop on to the next iteration of Step.

The color-coded annotations signify mods I already play with as an extension to current Step 2.3 without any further conflicts or need for patches. Thank you.
