📋 About This Mod
Movement is slowed for all actors, and their turning speed is also reduced, forcing them to make parabolic turns instead of sharp ones.
Movement speed is especially slower for actors who have their weapon out. This makes combat targets less likely to dodge your bullets while strafing. The slowed movement speed and slower turning speed also makes enemies less likely to bolt out suddenly from around a corner in a jerky way.
Realistic Movement is an animation mod that makes NPCs move more smoothly, with slower speeds and less sharp turns. It has 1,992 endorsements and 135,389 downloads, last updated in May 2024. This is a simple, focused mod for players who want more natural NPC locomotion.
