✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 4k endorsements and over 100k downloads—clearly a hit.
- Simple and effective: swaps bash for a kick, giving combat a fresh feel without bloat.
- No dependencies or complex setup—just drop it in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the bash animation—if you're looking for a full combat overhaul, this isn't it.
- Last updated in 2013, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other animation mods.
- No documentation or screenshots provided, so you'll have to try it to see if you like the kick style.
For Skyrim players who want a subtle but noticeable change to melee combat, especially those who prefer kicking over bashing. It's perfect for martial-arts themed characters or anyone tired of the default bash animation. Skip if you want a comprehensive combat overhaul or if you're running a heavily modded setup where compatibility might be an issue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in your Skyrim Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
- If you use other animation mods, load order matters—put Kick Bash after them to ensure it takes effect.
- Test the kick animation in first-person and third-person to see if it fits your playstyle.
