Description
This mod adds new controls for swimming and levitating. Use the jump key to float upwards, and the sneak key to sink downwards. Levitation and floating speed is derived from normal swimming and flying speed, consistent with normal movement speeds and compatible with other movement mods.
Each control set can be enabled or disabled in the MCM.
This mod does not use an ESP. This mod IS NOT compatible with OpenMW, at least until support for MWSE mods is added.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community support with 297 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Simple, intuitive controls that map to existing keys.
- Useful for both swimming and levitation scenarios.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in July 2021, so may not be compatible with the latest game version.
- Limited feature set—only adds two new control mappings.
For players who find default swimming and levitation controls awkward and want more direct control. If you're into exploration or building in watery areas, this mod gives you finer movement. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay overhauls—this is a small tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Test the controls in a safe area to get used to the new key bindings.
- Check if the mod requires any specific game version or patches.
- If you use other mods that alter swimming or levitation, test for conflicts.
