📋 About This Mod

Main file: Rebalanced Movement (UE4SS)

Running is now x3 faster than walking (instead of x3. 5), just like NPCs.

Sprinting is not affected, x4. 5 faster than walking.

You can edit both values by opening the main.lua file with a text editor like Notepad.

Optional file: Additional Changes (UE4SS)

Greatly reduces run and sprint speed gain from the Athletics skill. Athletics now affects sprint more than it does run.

Speed attribute is untouched, because unlike Athletics which has other benefits, Speed does nothing else and I did not want to nerf it.

Reduces armor weight penalty on movement speed to compensate for the Athletics change.

This makes heavy armor less penalized while still being slower than light. It prevents heavy armor from becoming too slow on lower levels.

You can edit the values as you like in the .ini file.

In addition to the changes above, you can also control how fast you move with weapon sheathed vs. drawn. This setting is disabled by default. If you want to edit this value, remove the semicolon (;) before the line.

Misc files: These are the legacy versions of the mod without the UE4SS requirement. These files only work with the launch version of the game.

  • []Slower Run: Running is now x3 faster than walking (instead of x3. 5).

    []Slower Run and Faster Sprint: Same as above, plus sprinting speed is now x1. 65 faster than running (instead of x1. 5).

  • Even Slower Run and Sprint: Running is slowed down further to x2. 8, and sprinting to x4. 3.

    _____________________

    It is recommended to use this mod alongside Steeds of Speed which makes horses faster, and No Combat No Sprint Fatigue which allows you to sprint withotu fatigue outside combat.

    Thanks to Skar2k for helping me make this mod compatible with the latest version of the game!
