Due to this amazing mod we are able to do some pretty cool things with animations now
Thank you for choosing CUSTOM RACIAL ANIMATION PATH
you can call it C. R. A. P for short, because this mod is the shit
Installation:
1: Download Dynamic Animation Replacer install it
2: Download this mod install it
3: Explore my mod folder to get to the custom conditions folder.
Inside you will find a folder dedicated to each race in skyrim.
For your convenience there is a text file letting you know wich folder is wich.
Basically all you do from here is put the animation you want for each race in the
proper folder, I am sure you can see how this can be a game changer
want all redguards to have a diff 1H sword style than other races? Now you can!
want all bretons to walk diff than other races? Now you can!
the possibilities are endless
And if you want to go crazy you can spend hours searching for combat animations and
making completely custom fighting styles for every race for every weapon type.
and finally the last step
This mod would not have been possible without the fine work of felisky and his
wonderful mod DAR
This mod was also inspired by the recently released Feline Movement Animations for
Khajits Only (FMAK)
so Kudos to both those mod authors
Now, go have fun and enjoy!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 280 endorsements and over 5.6k downloads.
- Opens up a ton of roleplay potential—your Orc can finally move like an Orc.
- Simple concept, but DAR integration means it's flexible for advanced users.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might be out of sync with newer DAR versions or game patches.
- No detailed instructions or examples in the description, so you'll need to figure out the file structure yourself.
- Requires Dynamic Animation Replacer as a dependency, which adds an extra setup step.
For Skyrim modders who want to give each race a distinct movement style, like making Khajiit more agile or Argonians more reptilian. It's also great for roleplayers who want their character's animations to match their race. Skip if you're not comfortable with DAR or just want a plug-and-play animation overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Dynamic Animation Replacer installed first—this mod won't work without it.
- Check the mod's file structure to see how animations are organized by race and sex; you'll need to place your custom animations in the correct folders.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
