- NOTE on Skyrim Special Edition versions of my mods:
- I do not plan to update my mods to work with Skyrim Special Edition (SSE) any time soon myself, because I do not expect to have the time for that (just like I haven't had the time or interest to read comments and update any mods for the past few years already).
I do, under the following conditions, give others permission to update my mods to work with any SSE version (PC and/or consoles):
- Please send me a PM on the nexus forums first, describing which of my mods you are planning to upgrade, for which versions of SSE, and await my response before uploading. If you have done any Skyrim modding that involves scripts before, please also include links to that. In case there are multiple people interested in upgrading the same mod, I'd prefer the most qualified (in terms of experience) person to do so, instead of having multiple people racing to be the first to upload the same mod.
- You must clearly mention my name in order to give me credit for the work I have done developing the original version of the mod
- You must clearly mention that I am not responsible for supporting, updating, or otherwise commenting on the SSE version of the mod. I will not have time to do that in an adequate manner.
- If I ever do find the free time and the interest to actively start working with these mods again, I reserve the right to upload my own versions of these mods using the same (or similar) names. It would also be nice if you give me access to the files of your version of the mod, and/or the page where you uploaded it.
- In the case of the Deadly Combat mod: Please make sure to immediately deal with the issues described in this thread of comments (in particular, Nazenn and EnaiSiaion's comments): https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/3yvez8/about_script_heaviness_also_a_dangerous_mods_list/cyh79mv/

Dodge Mod adds a dodge mechanic to Skyrim, letting players sidestep or backstep with a configurable key (default Sprint). Requires SKSE and integrates with SkyUI 3.0+ for an in-game menu. A classic combat enhancement with over 11k endorsements, though it hasn't been updated since 2013.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 11,412 endorsements and 238k downloads.
- Simple, essential combat mechanic that fits seamlessly into Skyrim's gameplay.
- Configurable keybinding means you can set it to whatever feels natural.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — likely outdated for the latest Skyrim versions and may need patches.
- Requires SKSE, which adds an extra setup step for modding newcomers.
- No built-in animation variety; the dodge uses the default sprint animation, which might look clunky.
For Skyrim players who want a more action-oriented combat feel without overhauling the whole game. Perfect for melee builds that need a quick escape. Skip if you're on the latest Skyrim version and don't want to troubleshoot compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE is installed and launched via skse_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
- If you have SkyUI 3.0+, use the in-game MCM to adjust the dodge key and behavior; otherwise, you'll need to edit the INI file manually.
- Test the dodge in a safe area first to get a feel for the timing and distance — it can be a lifesaver in combat but takes practice.
