The user on the old forum concluded that the problem arose from a difference in translation bone names. The female animations - located in the SFXCharacterclass files - use translation bone names Root, Prop 01, and Prop02. The male walk - located in BIOCOMMON - not only uses Root, Prop01, and Prop 01 but also Camera, God, and LHIK. So I think editing which translation bone names are used MAY solve the import error.

There's been no work done on Animation Explorer since that thread, and last I tried opening it, it wouldn't load any animations in any PCCs.
This problem is actually much bigger than the thread makes it seem. Throughout dialogues in ALL the files, FemShep (and all female squadmates and NPCs) routinely use "HMM" animations that look characteristically male. Even if FS herself could be pointed to the female animations in the other files, it's entirely possible there will be unintended consequences when combined with the animations used during dialogues and cutscenes. This is something I know from trying to restore some unique animations for Thane from ME2.
There is likely no good way to fix this. That said, I would certainly like to see someone try.

I think you may have misunderstood. All I want to do is point Fshep to the male walking anims in BIOCOMMON - no others

I thought you were saying FS uses the male animations and you want to change it. You are saying the reverse. That said, my other comments still apply. Female characters frequently use male (HMM) animations in dialogues and cutscenes and they often don't look good. In addition, there can be unforeseen consequences to making a large change like this, as the walk animation interacts with other animations. There's no way to know until it's tested. |

Omg. You should become an expert in animations and make Femshep walk like a woman. I'm not a woman, which makes me an expert in how women walk, and I can assure you, I've never seen a woman walking like Femshep walks. In fact, I've never seen a human walk that way. An ape maybe. It was a weird zoo that one... tldr: Fix Femsheps walk. Do eeeet |

Its not like we don't always make video game characters run across the map anyway. Save |

I was thinking, what if I exported femshep's walk, made some slight edits, and re-imported - if I could get it to work. Would that break the other animations in the game?
