🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2 to install, as the mod is optimized for that.
After installing, check your character's idle animations in third person to see the changes.
If you have other animation mods, load order may matter—place Idle Hands after them to ensure it takes effect.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

- Adds a solid 39 new animations total, giving you plenty of variety for your character's idle.
- Simple to install via mod manager, no complicated steps.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
