Skyrim - Fores New Idles Mod is a free video game utility that enables you to add in different types of custom animations to the popular epic RPG, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Developed by fore, this tool is considered the foundation of almost all animation mods for Skyrim and is a highly-extensive modding tool that both mod users and modders need for animation work. This mod is mainly called “FNIS Behaviors” by its community.

For both modders and players

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a 2011 action fantasy role-playing video game developed by Bethesda. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and had been released on various consoles. Due to its popularity, the number of mods made for it is nearly limitless—especially since there are loads that you could add or improve upon the in-game assets.

One such favorite asset is the in-game models for characters and objects. However, animation mods can be hard to handle as they may break your game, especially if you have other similar mods. This is where the Fores New Idles Mod comes in handy. Abbreviated as FNIS and known more colloquially as FNIS Behaviors, this mod allows you to easily install and run any type of custom animation to your game.

This is because this isn’t a mod at all, but a tool that most Skyrim animation projects use to create their own. By this alone, FNIS Behavior is considered one of the most popular downloads in Nexus. Due to it being the main component in most of the animation mods, using this tool can be quite complicated but you can always refer to the numerous video tutorials and the developer’s own extensive documentation on FNIS.

No pirating allowed

Skyrim - Fores New Idles Mod is a highly-recommended download if you plan to enjoy various idle animations, custom dances, new kill moves, and even new creatures added to Skyrim. This is also a must-have tool if you want to try modding yourself. It can be pretty overwhelming for beginners but the tool itself really proves its reliability with the number of mods that depend on it. Plus, it doesn’t support pirated copies of the game.
