📋 About This Mod
This is just a replacer for existing animations. IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE WAY STAGGERING WORKS IN THE GAME. ENEMIES WON'T STAGGER MORE FREQUENTLY.
I really enjoyed my time with Awesome Staggering mod, but in the long run i think that having something more subtle is better for general gameplay. So if you're like me than this mod is for you.

Recommended mods:
Immersive hit reactions - best way to configure stagger chances imo
Ragdolls - for even better combat responsiveness
Awesome staggering - if you want more "crazy" stagger reactions
Requirements:
Nothing this time, not even kNVSE
Anims ported over Mixamo by me
