LE Amazing idea ---- Mood mod

[metaton]

Hi all,

 

I have an idea, what if there would be a mood mod?

We have skyrim expressions, so somebody could create a special mod, which would be modular and with scripted expressions would be hooked to these mods:

 

 

Stage 1

 

Needs mods ------>

 

Hungry. ---->sad expression.

Thirsty -----> exhausted(?) I am not sure there is anything like that

Tired -------> sad/exhausted/ look down:)

dirty --------> disgusted

 

If all needs are fulfilled ----> smile. (just a small one not a grin)

If some needs are not fulfilled ----> sometimes fear/sad expression

if needs are seriously needs addressing -------> fear

 

 

Sickness mods ------>

 

depending on the stage ---------> sad/hurt expression

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Vanilla skyrim features

 

 

combat

 

power attack --------> anger?

hp loss -----------------> pained/fear / suprised

 

persuade somebody ---------> grin/ evil smile/ happy

 

New quest objective ---------> puzzled

 

eating stale food -------------->disgusted

drinking alcohol ----------------> smile/ happy

 

stage 2

 

 

Special expressions if could be created to suit the mod:

 

evil smile,

hurt,

high and mighty /bravado type smile

sceptic look

evil face

delighted/satisfied

 

 

stage 3

 

Full body animations:

 

Needs mods:

 

Hunger -------> hold the belly/stomach painfully

Thirst----------> exhausted look and pose

Tiredness ----> exhausted walk, if sitting then bobbing head, sometimes dose off

 

Sickness ------> weak miserable walk and run animation, idles.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Vanilla Skyrim

 

 

combat --- great hp loss -------> the character touch the wound with a suprised/ pained expression and stagger animation with hand on the wound.

 

New stagger animations for injuries, new animations for injured walk (limping, holding the side, holding head)

 

Lot of blood loss (massive hp loss) fainting/collapsing animation)

 

Unsuccessful persuasion ------> shrug

Successful persuasion ---------> leaning to the "victim" talking and smiling

 

Shaking head, nodding (accepting quest objective special lines of dialogue (recruiting follower, they can nod.)

 

Completing quest objectives ------> evil/ big /happy smile

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Stage 4

 

Voices hooked to the animations / voice recording by voice actors

 

Laughter sound/ animated laughter. (jokes head, drunken, certain comments in game, like arrow in the knee) or killcams (evil character)

 

Crying / sound and animation: follower killed, character defeated (hooked to mods like death alternate/ capture)

 

Coughing sound and animation hooked to sicknesses.

 

pained sound/voice moan, groan, whining etc... hooked to sickness, injuries.

 

Yawn sound and animation for need mods when the char goes to sleep/ waking up.

 

 

 

So this would be my idea, it could be a small project just to hook certain mods/vanilla features to facial expressions (stage 1)

or could be bigger (stage 2/3) but for that animators are needed. (to make new animations)

Or could be a massive overhaul of expressions/ poses (stage 4) but for that script writers/animators/voice actors needed.

 

It is a shame that I am not good in modding as this would be awesome to do, but I hope some of the big almighty modders will find this interesting and a mod would be made out of this.
