   Wrist-Binder
    
   Features
   A quick and easy way to "bind" and "unbind" a character's wrists at will Allows any set of cuffs that does not already do so to appear to bind your character's wrists Designed for player but will also work on followers Works for men and women Works for all vanilla races Uses slot 46 (Devious Devices yoke/armbinder slot) No scripts
   
    
   
   What?
   Wrist-Binder is a tiny little mod that allows bound-wrist idle animations to be toggled on and off at will. It allows you to craft three types of binder. When equipped on your character, or any NPC, the standard Wrist-Binder will apply the bound-wrist idle animation used by most of the cuffs in the ZaZ Animation Pack (ZAP). The Crossed Wrist-Binder will apply an alternate idle, also from ZAP, where the wrists are crossed rather than held side by side. The Arm-Binder will apply an idle where the arms are folded across the spine. Your general idle animation will still play, just with arms bound behind the back.
    
   The wrist-binders can be worn without cuffs but might look a little strange, as they are invisible. They are much better used with restraints. Devious Devices cuffs work well. Given that all of the ZAP cuff sets apply their own bound idle I have added in craftable versions of each set that are purely for show and don't actually do anything. This means that you can wear a set of cuffs for general gameplay and be completely free to move about, fight, sprint and anything else, then equip the wrist-binder of your choice to effectively "fasten the wrist cuffs together" behind your back.
    
   Why?
   Basically, I wanted to have my cake and eat it.
    
   ZAP cuffs always force the bound idle, slow your character down, prevent sprinting, jumping and fighting, and force a facial expression. This means you can't really wear them purely as a "fashion statement." Devious restraints, on the other hand, lock on but don't actually bind visibly - with the exception of the yoke and armbinders. I wanted to be able to wear my cuffs for normal, unrestricted gameplay some of the time and to be nicely bound and helpless (at least visually) at others.
    
   Wrist-Binder is the solution I came up with. It doesn't add in quest-related bondage or slavery. It's a "just for show" mod, a roleplay mod that allows the appearance of being bound without too much restriction and will need imagination and fantasy to fill in the blanks. For example: when my submissive character Sif is trotting around Skyrim in a set of cuffs with her owner by her side I want her to be allowed to fight when needed but be kept bound at other times. The wrist-binders are simulating her owner clipping Sif's cuffs together and releasing them as and when required. In my imagination, this is what I use them for.
    
   I've been using Wrist-Binder in my own game in one form or another for months. This file is a tidied up version. It was designed to use on my player character, though Lydia and Jordis have spent a fair amount of time trying it out. I hope other people get a kick out of it, too.
    
   How, Where and When?
   Go to any blacksmith's forge or anvil. If you possess at least one roll of paper you should see a recipe to make "The Handy Wrist-Binding Manual." It requires one piece of leather and one roll of paper to craft. Once you've made the book and have it in your inventory some more crafting recipes should appear. Both types of wrist-binder require just a single iron ingot. The arm-binder requires a single leather strip.
    
   With the manual you can also craft cosmetic versions of the main ZAP cuff sets - leather binds, rope 01 and 02, simple black and brown, iron black and brown, GSB and the handcuff-only wrist irons. These sets do not bind you, do not slow you down or stop you sprinting, jumping or fighting, and do not change your facial expression. They are purely for show and entirely optional. Depending on the set, they require iron ingots and/or leather strips and/or linen wraps.
    
   If you do not have the manual in your inventory you will not see the crafting recipes for the new cuffs or binders. The manual can be read. It includes further instructions and illustrative images of the three idles, as well as giving you a skill boost (that is useless to you when wearing a binder!)
    
   The wrist-binders themselves will not slow down your jogging speed or set a facial expression. They will prevent you from sprinting, jumping and fighting/drawing weapons/readying spells.
    
   As with the original ZAP cuffs, NPCs wearing a wrist-binder can still sprint and fight, breaking the bound idle. If the idle does not reset after these events (it should with the sprinting) remove and re-equip the wrist-binder to "bind" them again.
    
   This mod does not alter anything from ZAP, just adds a little.
    
   Requirements
   An updated copy of Skyrim
   ZaZ Animation Pack and all of its requirements.
   If you use ZAP 6.05+ you will need v1d
   If you use ZAP 6.04 you will need v1c
    
   
   Recommended, but not required
   Devious Devices Assets, Integration and Expansion - lots of cuffs that work well with Wrist-Binder. Plus loads of other tight, shiny, restrictive and (sometimes) vibrating bondage goodness
   PetCollar - be thrown down and ravished by your followers, or non-hostile NPCs if you're alone. What I use for the slavegirl and owner partnership in my game
    
   Installation
   Be sure to install the ZaZ Animation Pack and its requirements by following the instructions on its download page. Currently the textures for ZAP are in a separate file to the main download, so double check you have those installed as well Download the correct Wrist-Binder file for the version of ZAP you use (v1d for ZAP 6.05+ / v1c for ZAP 6.04) Install Wrist-Binder with your favourite mod manager, or unzip it and drop the contents into your Skyrim Data folder If you want the SexLabNoStrip keyword attached to the arm-binder, wrist-binder and crossed wrist-binder - so they will never be removed for SexLab animations - download the optional NoStripPATCH file for the version you use (either v1d or v1c) and install it over the main file, overwriting when asked.  
    
   
   Uninstall
    
   Deactivate through your mod manager and/or delete the following from your Data folder:
   wristbinder.esp textures/clutter/books/images/armbinder.png textures/clutter/books/images/wristbinder.png textures/clutter/books/images/wristbinderX.png
    
   
   
    
   Some Tips
    
   Good Pet!
    
   In real life, always practise safe, consensual and very kinky sex.
   For best results, favourite your wrist-binder of choice and assign it a hotkey. With a single button you can then toggle binding on or off.
    
   While the Crossed Wrist-Binder and Arm-Binder will always force the same pose and animation, the Wrist-Binder is a little more versatile. Look for the "Bound Hands" option in the ZAP MCM. It can be set for Default, No Struggle, Legacy or Light Struggle. Whichever setting you choose here will be applied to the standard wrist-binder. Try them out and see which one you like best!
    
   Might I humbly suggest that "Light Struggle" would be a fine choice?
    
   Naughty Pet!
    
   Never remove a wrist-binder without permission from Master or Mistress.
   Don't try to wear a wrist-binder with any other item that forces a bound idle - such as another wrist-binder, a Devious Devices yoke or armbinder, or the original cuff sets, yokes or armbinder from ZAP. It's possible nothing bad will happen if you do. It's also possible you will trigger the Apocalypse. You have been warned.

   Credits
   Thanks to ZaZ and XaZ for the wonderful ZaZ Animation Pack
   Thanks to brother number two for helping me put this together into a (hopefully) releasable state
   Huge thanks to my great friend Coopervane who had to put up with lots of silly questions over the months and without whom I never would have managed to make even so basic a mod as this. Thank you, Coops!
    
   Final Note
   If you're having problems or have requests or suggestions feel free to post in the support thread.
    
   Before posting problems please:
   read the description and installation instructions correctly install the requirement correctly install the requirements of the requirement correctly install the requirements of the requirements of the requirement read the support thread to see if anyone else has already reported the problem and any solution offer yourself in sexual sacrifice to the cruel overlords of Papyrus
   If you have done all of those things (well, all but one of those things - I can't actually expect anyone to read the description, after all) then feel free to post your issue in the support thread, but please no PMs for bugs, thank you.
    
   
   Having said all that, I can't guarantee I will be able to do much in the way of support or development. Due to a long-term illness and a serious recent accident I currently struggle to either play or mod. With that in mind if anyone wants to use this mod, or the idea, in their own project you have my complete permission. Anyone can do anything they like with this as long as it remains freely available for all to use at no charge. And a credit would be nice.
