📋 About This Mod
H2H Cast Self Animation Replacer v1. 0 By Nopheros This is a modification for hand to hand cast self spell casting animation (3rd-person view only). Since I think the original spell casting animation is a little too simplistic for my taste, so I made a little animation myself and add it to TES IV: Oblivion. This animation will work for both NPC and player (but ONLY in 3rd person view). The animation will work if you are in hand to hand stance or if you equip a one-hand weapon without shield in sheath mode. Installation: Extract Meshes folder to \\Bethesda Softworks\\Oblivion\\Data\\ Known issues: None so far but will conflict with any mod that changes the similar spell casting animation. Legal: You can use this mod as you wish and no permissions required as long as proper credits are given and this mod is used for non-profit purposes. Still you are always welcome to inform me if you are using all or any parts of this mod and provide me with link(s) of the mod when released Enjoy.
