[edit] Description

This mod adds mannequins to Cyrodiil. Once in the game you can go to the following stores to buy the mannequins:

• The Fair Deal - Bravil
• Novaroma - Bruma
• Borba's Goods and Stores - Cheydinhal
• Northern Goods and Trade - Chorrol
• Three Brothers Trade Goods - Imperial City
• Best Goods and Guarantees - Leyawiin
• Colovian Traders - Skingrad

Once you have a mannequin you can drop it anywhere and a mannequin will be spawned where you are standing. Once the mannequin is spawned you will be able to activate it and a menu will popup asking what you would like to do.

From there you will be able to do the following:

• Modify the inventory
  • You will be shown the mannequin's inventory which works just like any other container in the game.
• Pick it up
  • All of the items on the mannequin will be moved to the player and the mannequin will be added to the player.
• Pose
  • Face
    • Will cause the mannequin to face the player
  • Toggle Sneak
    • Will cause the mannequin to enter/exit sneak mode
  • Toggle Weapon Ready
    • Will cause the mannequin to equip/unequip weapon
  • Toggle Shield Up
    • Will cause the mannequin to raise/lower shield
  • Casting Options
    • Self
      • Left Handed
        • Will cause the mannequin to cast left handed on self
      • Right Handed
        • Will cause the mannequin to cast right handed on self
    • Target
      • Left Handed
        • Will cause the mannequin to cast left handed on target
      • Right Handed
        • Will cause the mannequin to cast right handed on target
    • Touch
      • Two Handed
        • Will cause the mannequin to cast with two hands on touch
      • Right Handed
        • Will cause the mannequin to cast right handed on touch

In order to move the mannequin from its current position you must pick it up and move to the place you would like to set it down and then drop it again. Also you will not be able to harm the mannequin and it will not enter combat or alert others to crimes.

[edit] Known Bugs

• If you use the hold-click drop method when dropping the mannequin from inventory, it will cause you to lose control functionality (activating, grabbing, attacking, etc.). I do not know how to fix this problem as there is no way that I can find to detect when this action is taken. If you use this method jumping will restore your functionality.

• It is possible to equip a mannequin with a torch and it will light the immediate area, but the flame will not flicker. The reason behind this is because of the use of the SkipAnim function, which is used to get rid of the bobbing that would otherwise be present.

• The mannequins will not display stolen items, I am not sure why this is, but I am fairly confident that it is an AI thing. Anyway there is a way to work around this and that is by selling the item to a fence and then buying it back.

• Some poses do not work with weapon draw or sneak poses and some will only work while in these poses. Further more sometimes a pose will work while other times under seemingly the same conditions it will not. I am not sure why this is, if anyone has more experience working with the PlayGroup functions and the different animations and you know the reason why, please contact me.

• I've found that path grids placed close to the Mannequins will cause them to move to those marks. I have thought that it is an AI problem, but have removed any AI (wander) and observed the mis-placement still occurs. Possibly this can be fixed by scripting.

[edit] Reviews

[edit] Review by Smokindan

Everyone loves to display their hard-earned loot and what better way to do that than on a mannequin? Thanks to Reznod's hard work you now can and after going through a couple of buggy phases this mod is now perfect. Mannequins aren't expensive, are very customisable, can be put in distinct stances, display weapons and more!! What I like about this mod is that it's realistic. Instead of putting mannequins in every house, you have to buy them. It's also very intuitive; nothing is hard to work out and you'll be admiring your five sets of Daedric Armour in no time :) Highly recommended.

[edit] Review by NaniNani!

Ever since Morrowind's 'Better Bodies' mannequins, I've been looking for a set of mannequins that were exactly the equivalent of their racial counterparts, to no avail... However, if you are just looking for the normal bog-standard Mannequin (marble or wood,) then this module is perfect for you. Fits its purpose entirely, and is a very useful module. Use it.
