Better Sit Idle

Have you ever noticed how, when you sit in this game, your arms become uncomfortably glued to your sides? Have you ever sat like that in real life? It's awkward! Plus it makes your character's arms look absurdly short. A few years ago I fixed it for myself and now you all get to reap the benefits.

All this mod does is patch the .frames files for both characters and armour, meaning 99.9% of modded races and armour that use standard humanoid .frames files are compatible out of the box. Frackin' Universe has several armour sets that have their own .frames files, and these are also patched.

Specifically, this simple mod replaces the sit idle's front arm with the walk.2 frame, and the back arm with the run.3 frame, making it appear as though characters are resting their hands in their laps, as every normal biped with arms sitting down in a chair does. (If your character has no arms, they will not benefit from this.) If you happen to come across an armour or species that isn't appearing correctly, let me know; it's a simple 2-second fix to just copy the frame patches into the necessary folders to provide support and I'll update right away.

FAQ:
- Is this server-side or client side?
It's client-side, other players without the mod will see the original sit but it shouldn't blow anything up.
- What species is the character in the preview image?
A personal resprite of the Saturnians race. For a very similar resprite, check out Window Novashrimp's "Make The Saturnians A Cuter Yet Mothy Race" and "Make The Thaumoth A Cuter Yet Mothy Race" mods, we used the same art as reference. That said, I may upload mine someday as we went about the antennae completely differently, they let you use a range of different antennae shapes, whereas mine only has one type of antennae but due to this I was able to make them show through hats.
