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!

It updates the file structure to support all race/sex combinations, offering a high degree of animation control.

✨ 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 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.
