📋 About This Mod

Fixes just about every 3rd person animation issue there is, from the stuttering at the end of the animation cycle, to limbs popping and shaking, to broken fingers bending at inhuman angles, you name it. 99% vanilla friendly, minimal reanimation unless necessary. Outside of fixes, the mod also improves the blending of some of the animations, like when one is melee attacking while standing. That should look a lot less wonky overall.

Some of the fixes, like the holstered sneak animations, are carried over to many other weapon types, because a lot of them don't have their own weapon specific animations and just share the holstered ones.

Lastly the mod fixes the long standing issue of character gliding when movement is stopped while turning the camera.

Highly recommended to use Aim Transition Patch (NVSE) and 3rd Person Camera Overhaul to improve 3rd person mode even further.
