Add many idle & walk animation variations to NPCs, enhancing overall atmosphere and reducing monotony.
Features
Adds over 30 idles to the game. Giving more life to the NPCs that don't use specialidle animations much, basically filling in the gaps, so they don't end up just all standing still the same way. As of 1.1, many of the walking forward animations are modified also, so there is even more animation diversity.
Named NPCs get hand picked animations. Leveled/random NPCs receive randomly distributed, character appropriate animations.
Some of the animations will continue to play during dialogue, which can help add a bit more character and create more of a sense of uniqueness when talking to different NPCs.

Requirements
Modding
For base forms, just use keywords. For example, I want to make the player look tough. Add the keyword "IV_Tough" to the player. Or maybe I want to make ThisCharacter sleepy. Simply add the keyword "IV_Sleepy" to ThisCharacter.
If you want to use the animations for specific refs with a shared base form, you would have to use other method(s) to apply the animations. Check the files "meshes\AnimGroupOverride\AP_IV_Refs.JSON" and "nvse\plugins\scripts\gr_idlevariety.txt" for some ideas.
Animation List
Most animations with the suffix "Look" are animated to look around. This may look better on background characters.
Some animations have male/female variants. Some are only for male, some for female. The Classic animations are unused by any NPCs.
