Installation
Load order doesn't matter as long as the animations are not being overwritten. If you're using 3rd Person Animation Fixpack, then Enhanced Animations should be loaded after it.
For 360 Movement, load Enhanced Animations after it, and then the 360 Patch after both.
For B42 Bows, load order does not matter. Simply install the patch.
For Titans of The New West 2. 0, load the Titans Patch after Titans. The load order between Titans and Enhanced Animations does not matter.
Compatibility
All animations are designed and calibrated for vanilla animations and Enhanced Animation sets, so they may not look correct or be outright incompatible with other 3rd person animation mods.
Patches are available for 360 Movement. B42 Bows and Titans of The New West 2. 0.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Well-loved by the community (838 endorsements) and massively downloaded (272k+), so you know it's been tested by many.
- Covers all the basics: idle, walk, run, jump, land — plus weapon animations, so your character feels fresh all around.
- Last updated recently (Feb 2026), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects 3rd person view — if you play mostly in 1st person, this mod won't do much for you.
- No mention of compatibility with other animation mods, so you might run into conflicts if you use others.
For players who spend a lot of time in 3rd person view and want more natural, varied movement animations. If you're tired of the vanilla stiff animations and want a simple overhaul without extra bells and whistles, this is for you. Skip if you're a 1st person purist or if you're looking for combat-specific animation overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to back up your original animation files before installing, so you can revert if needed.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Test the animations in a new game or a safe area to see if they feel right before committing.
