  []The look and timing of each transition can be adjusted via configuration files.

  []Purely a visual effect and has no influence on gameplay mechanics or timings.

• Compatible with all mesh and animation replacers.

  Details

  💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure to install the mod after any other animation mods to avoid overwriting changes.
  • Test in third-person view to see the blending effect clearly; first-person may not show it as much.
  • If you use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2, let it handle the file placement to keep your Data folder clean.
