Lively Bars

Description
I wanted the bars in the game to feel a bit more lively and like actual bars, so this mod adds 4 variants for basic furniture pieces (Stool, Sitting Box and Bench) that have different drinking animations.
This furniture is placed in the bars of the main factions' cities, and will be used by NPCs just like any other chair.
Other than that, it can be unlocked for building by getting the Basic Furniture blueprint, and will be found in the building menu under the Lively Bars category.

Additionally, this mod includes the shopkeeper's cleaning animation from the great mod CMKillingTime ( https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1870773796 ), which originally inspired me to make this one. This has also been placed in bars around to world, so that NPC shopkeepers will start cleaning the counter at random times in the day. Note that the download of CMKillingTime is not required for this mod to work.

Technical notes:
This mod works by replacing the interior layouts of bars with new ones, identical to the original except for the replaced furniture. This means that it will probably conflict with any other mod that changes the layouts of those buildings. Also, import is required to see changes to the cities bars.

Shopkeepers status will appear as "reigning" due to this mod, if you find yourself wondering what is going on with that. This does not however break any functionality, you can still interact with them as usual and they will do all their stuff. It was only necessary in order to make them cycle through the standard shopkeeping activity (i.e. stand still doing nothing) and the table cleaning :)

Some of you need to read the description, check you load orders and mod lists before commenting.

Love this mod but can't get it to play friendly with immersive non-combat animations mod. For that reason, I'm out.

Careful with this mod, something with it and my game or possibly other mods is making me crash every time I attempt to enter the Bar in Clownsteady. Prob effects other places too.

Hmm, some kind of error with the Jrpg racing mod (https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1605171674) , visitors added by jrpg cannot sit on the chairs that this mod adds and just stand, and from time to time the game crashes when entering the bar (https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784991207)

In some places trying to sit on a chair will result in the player laying down on it as if they were in a bed.

Met a bug, and the bug was gone after unchecking the mod in the launcher.

It always lets the bartenders not go back to their spots after throwing someone out of the bars. And once the bartender leave the bar, you can't talk to them, hence you can't buy or sell anything. :lunar2019deadpanpig:
After starting the game without having this mod, I loaded, and saw the bartender went back to the right position from where they used to stuck for an eternity.

If it crashes at a specific bar, or bars of a shared layout, try repairing navmesh. That can sometimes prevent or otherwise greatly reduce the amounts of crashing when entering bars. At least in my experience, that is.

I do wonder if there is a link between that and the rare odd bartender behavior. Also makes me wonder if there is any connection between the crashes and moded races, since they don't use animations from other mods, if that might be causing something to derp out.
