📋 About This Mod
This is based on veedaville's Elf Running Animations released a few days ago. With respect, I think it's an improvement because it removes the hitch in the animation. Instead of swapping GR2 files, this mod changes the code, so there's no mistiming associated with the GR2 swap.
I never would have figured this out without that mod, so much thanks to veedaville! Prior to this the only modding I'd done with this game was some light spell modifications and weapon swaps. I was surprised it actually worked!
Run Swap is a compact animation mod that replaces the default run animation for body 1 human, half-elf, and tiefling characters with a seamless elf run. With 125 endorsements and 2,866 downloads, it's a niche choice for players wanting a more graceful movement style. Last updated June 2024.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 125 endorsements and nearly 3k downloads.
- Simple, focused mod that does one thing well.
- Last updated June 2024, so it's relatively recent.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects body 1 human, half-elf, and tiefling — other races or body types won't see the change.
- Small niche mod; may not be actively maintained beyond the last update.
For players who want a more elegant, elf-like run animation for their human, half-elf, or tiefling characters. If you're into role-playing or just want a subtle visual upgrade, this is for you. Skip if you play other races or want a more comprehensive animation overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only affects body 1, make sure your character uses that body type in the character creator.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the animation in-game to ensure it fits your character's style.
- Check if your game version is compatible with the mod's last update (June 2024) to avoid issues.
