"Heroic Power Armor Idle Stance" Has two versions, one for PA and one for basic idle for everybody.) "Masculine and Feminine Idle for Player only and more" Replaces only player idles, recommend this personally even without TOTNW. If you have B42 just use the Vanilla Weight "NV Compatibility Skeleton" instead of the optional file listed in TOTNW. It's pretty compatible with Qolore7's version of the WMIM ESP listed here and works perfectly as far as I can tell, I'm not sure if you can load TOTNW over Ragdolls and have it work but it shouldn't really be compatible. You may get the spider fingers bug using these two which has a fix you can enable in the NVTF ini. It's a compromise though since the only workaround is to replace the idle completely. I don't know many but I use these and I think it looks OK. Hence we need to replace the idle with an idle replacer mod. First however, TOTNW was made in 2020 and the version of JIP as of now makes its power armor idle animation play even when no PA is unequipped making you take a "Gorilla" stance. Terrific mod that makes all power armor finally look like actual Power Armor and not a lanky man who is LARPING. However it has some issues that I wanted to address so I'm putting my own list here with a how to guide and explainations. Don't go through this list unless you understand FNV modding well or have gone through this guide and read it THROUGHLY. I absolutely recommend this guide as a reference for making FNV stable. Keep in mind conflicts when adding your mods, some could turn out to be incompatible and need patching which is the main issue with large load orders and mods in general.) Though keep in mind that they might also be wrong since load orders vary and mods conflict so be cautious. Also read the mod description page, requirements and comments for them for goodness sake, it's just good practice so that you prevent misunderstandings and install the mod correctly and inform yourself on what other users know pertaining to issues. I'm also using the direct name of the mods so be sure to type them correctly when searching. It also has some changes that I don't agree with like Unfound Loot, the ini for JSUE and the custom ini for Stewie Tweaks that has some things enabled that aren't very modular in practice for other people to use freely. Note that the guide makes you use MO2 but Vortex can be used in place as I use it myself but I would just use MO2. (*NOTE: Not a catch all mod list with the essentials, for that read the VNV guide which is far better in my opinion. Keep in mind mod authors can be finicky and depending on when you read this some might have deleted, hidden or changed the name of their mods so keep that in mind. Just niche things, some might not be your cuppa tea so feel free to cherry pick what you want since that's what this list was made for. Just my personal list of recommended FNV mods in no particular order other than type.
