📋 About This Mod
SMELLY'S OPENMW 1ST PERSON HEAD BOB
' it just works'
For ultimate immersion you could use this with my blinking mod. The world is your oyster.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Requires OPENMW 0. 45 or above. This mod won't work with mwse/vanilla as they do not support adding animations via this method. Install like any other mod. Either by manually editing the openmw.cfg or selecting the data directory from within the openmw launcher.
It needs to be directed to the folder that contains the animations folder. For example:
C:\GOG Games\Morrowind\Openmw\Mods\Smelly1stbob
That's you done! There is no .esp or .omwaddon or anything else to tick in the launcher.

This mod replaces Morrowind's first-person animations with third-person run, jump, walk, and sneak animations, adding a headbob effect to each step and jump. It's a simple, lightweight cosmetic enhancement for players using OpenMW who want more visual feedback during movement.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny mod with 11 endorsements and 519 downloads — a niche pick for OpenMW players
- Simple concept: no complex settings, just install and get headbob
- Last updated March 2025, so it's fresh and likely works with current OpenMW builds
⚠️ Cons
- Only 11 endorsements — not widely tested, so you're an early adopter
- Headbob might not suit everyone — could cause motion sickness for some players
For OpenMW players who want a more immersive first-person feel without overhaul mods. If you're tired of static first-person movement and want a subtle visual cue for each step, this is for you. Skip if you prefer a steady camera or play on vanilla Morrowind.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's for OpenMW, make sure you're using the OpenMW engine, not the original Morrowind executable — this mod won't work on vanilla.
- Place the mod files in your OpenMW data directory or use a mod manager like Mod Organizer 2 to keep things tidy.
- If you experience any weird animation glitches, try disabling other animation mods that might conflict.
