📋 About This Mod
In the vanilla game, Lich's do not have any hand to hand animations. When they get disarmed, they stand in place and accept death. The unofficial patch addresses this by allowing them to actually move around and cast spells. A set of broken hand to hand animations for the lich exist in the games files, I'm no animator, so I cannot re implement them. However, I made a compromise by giving the Lich the skeleton's hand-to-hand animations, it does stretch it's model in the animations sometimes to meet the skeleton's "skeleton," but this will have to do.
This mod replaces the Lich's missing hand-to-hand animations with the skeleton's, fixing a gap in the base game. It's a small, focused fix for players who want the Lich to have proper melee animations. With 257 endorsements and 72,942 downloads, it's a popular utility mod, though it hasn't been updated since 2018.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap—Lich had no hand-to-hand animations, and this fixes that.
- Community-approved with 257 endorsements and 72,942 downloads.
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says, no extra baggage.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—may be outdated for current game versions.
- Only affects animations; if you wanted new moves or effects, this isn't it.
For players who use the Lich creature and want it to have proper melee animations instead of standing idle. If you're a modder or roleplayer who cares about creature immersion, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or new combat mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple animation replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no extra setup needed.
- If you're on a modded setup, check load order to ensure this mod loads after any mods that alter the Lich's skeleton or animations.
- Back up your original animation files if you want to revert, but this mod is small and easy to remove.
