Dynamic Animation Framework SE

Dynamic Animation Framework SE (DAF) lets you trigger custom animation chains in Skyrim Special Edition when certain in-game or menu events happen (pick up, drop, equip, activate, open inventory, etc.). You add simple JSON files that say: “When event X happens, and the item / actor matches these filters, play these animations in this order.”

Animation entries can use either an animation event name or a Skyrim IDLE record. The Preset Creation Guide explains both.

Mods can also define custom events in JSON and trigger them through the DAF API.

No Papyrus or coding required.
