📋 About This Mod
Oblivion Sprinting
Add a sprint feature to Oblivion, with sprinting animations, horse galop and fixed lighting issues.
Sprinting should be a core feature of the game. Its something we all use naturally and the game lacking it is disapointing. Fortunately, the modding community has been great and has given us many implementations years after years. This is my iteration of the feature, using all previous work to give us a easy to use, configurable and light mod.

Compatibility
Should be compatible with any mods.
- Compatible with Nehrim, Morrowblivion and Daggerblivion : I have to use Oblivion.esm as master file because of event handlers. You can swap masters using Wrye Bash and it should work just fine.
- Animations
- Horse gallop
- Gamepad support
- Configuration : support LINK and got an extensive ini file
- Versatile scripting for easy extentions and compatibility patches
Adds sprint and gallop mechanics to Oblivion, complete with animations, sounds, and gamepad support. A niche gameplay enhancement for players seeking more dynamic movement, with modest community traction (67 endorsements).
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fills a real gap—Oblivion's vanilla movement feels sluggish, and this adds much-needed speed.
- Comes with animations and sounds, so it's not just a stat tweak—it feels like a proper feature.
- Gamepad support is a nice touch for controller players, which is rare in older Bethesda mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 67 endorsements—this is a niche mod, so you might be on your own if issues pop up.
- Last updated June 2025—could be fine, but no guarantee it works with all Oblivion versions or other mods.
For Oblivion players who want faster travel and more dynamic movement without breaking immersion. If you're tired of the default jog and want a sprint that feels integrated, this is for you. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or minimal changes—this adds a whole new mechanic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this adds new animations, make sure you have ArchiveInvalidation enabled in Oblivion Mod Manager or your mod manager to avoid missing textures.
- If you're using a controller, check the mod's in-game settings to remap the sprint button to something comfortable.
- Test the sprint in a safe area first—if it conflicts with other movement mods, you'll see it immediately.
