📋 About This Mod
This pack will replace the following animations while sneaking:
-The idle, walk, run while wielding magic or hybrid magic/melee.
-The magic equip, swap and unequip with either/both hands.
-All idles and movements while aiming with magic.
-Casting with any spell or staff with any hand configuration.
With the release of this mod, I'm happy to say that, through the Vanargand and Goetia series, all the essential ranged animations in the game have been remade, with the main goal being keeping the aim direction persistent (facing the crosshair) regardless of movement direction, aiming in 3rd person is now much more consistent than vanilla across the different ranged playstyles.
The animations apply to the PC and NPC alike.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 529 endorsements and over 13k downloads
- Fixes a real annoyance—jittery aim while sneaking with magic
- Comprehensive coverage of all third-person sneak magic animations
⚠️ Cons
- Requires DAR, which adds an extra dependency and potential compatibility considerations
- Only affects sneaking magic animations, so non-sneak magic remains unchanged
- Compatibility risk with other animation mods that also modify sneak or magic animations
For stealth mage players who are tired of janky aim and animations while sneaking with spells. If you use DAR and want a polished sneak magic experience, this is a solid pick. Skip if you don't sneak-cast or if you prefer a full animation overhaul that covers all stances.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install DAR first and ensure it's active before adding this mod, as it won't work without it.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to avoid overwriting other animation mods; check for conflicts in the left pane.
- Test in third person while sneaking and casting spells to see the new animations and aim fix in action.
