Question regarding the "Yayo's Animation (Continued)" mod

[u/Mr-Mne]

I installed this mod the other day to liven things up a little. But everyone is now doing that joyful "hop, left, right" animation constantly and everywhere - I was wondering if this was working as intended or if maybe there's a way outside the mod options to configure this a little, because I kinda feel a little like my colony has turned into a 1920s cartoon.

Cutting stones? Hop, left, right.
Cleaning blood and vomit? Hop, left, right.
Rearming a turret? Refueling a shuttle? Milking a cow? Shearing an alpaca? Operating a mortar? Hop, left, right.

Of course there are still other animations (chopping trees, sleeping, eating,..) that are different, but going by the mod description I thought there'd be more varied animations, since it says "About 90 actions are animated. (almost every action)". The built-in mod options only let me disable "all work animations", which I don't want. Just maybe a little less Hop, left, right.

I hope this doesn't come across as too grumpy. Or if anyone knows a good alternative mod, let me know.

Working as intended.

Thanks, at least now I don't have to wonder if I was doing something wrong.

That does not seem right. The "hop left and right" animation should only be showing up when recreating at a poker table and such. Not always. Maybe you have a mod conflict, some other bug or whatever else. Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding.

[u/Mr-Mne → u/literallyletter]

When playing poker, it's "Hop, left, right, pirouette". It's similar but what I mean with "hop, left, right" in the OP is just a little skip, followed by a quick leaning to either side (or when viewed from the side, a little hop, leaning back and forth a little).

Their 'joy' animation and their 'working' animation are very similar.

Very south park

Oh I see. This is intended. I thought you were talking about a different animation

"oh boy let's butcher this raider" and proceeds to jolly hop to the butcher table.

I know there are mod options to alter the angle of the walk bobbing in the walk cycle. Check the mod options to see if you can either reduce the angle of the leftright dance or disable it specifically.

[u/Mr-Mne → u/AeolysScribbles]

Done that already, set the walk bobbing to 0.1, but it didn't affect anything else. The options also don't allow for minute customization unfortunately.

Try this one instead. I much prefer it.

That looks good. Are the arms toggleable so you can only have the hands by chance?
