📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces the running, sprinting, and jumping animations for male and female, all except for backstep because I thought that it looked fine.
The running is reflective of a natural jog, and the sprinting is more motivated. The arms are better synched with the legs. Please, watch the video. I apologize if it is dark during the female part. I encourage you to give the animations a try and see how they look first-hand.

To get the muscular offset that I have in the video, you need the mod No Heavy Muscular Walk and Idle, link provided below.
To have the camera centered whilst unarmed, you need to add the following line to your Skyrim.ini:
fOverShoulderPosX=0. 0000

Run Sprint and Jump replaces the default running, sprinting, and jumping animations for both male and female characters with more natural-looking movements. It's a simple animation overhaul for Skyrim, popular with over 14,000 endorsements, though it hasn't been updated since 2013.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 14,605 endorsements and 336k downloads show this mod is a staple for many players.
- Simple and effective: just swaps in more natural animations, no complex setup or gameplay changes.
- Works for both genders, so you don't need separate mods for male and female characters.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other animation mods.
- Only covers run, sprint, and jump—no other movement animations like walk or idle are included.
For Skyrim players who want a quick, no-fuss improvement to character movement without overhauling the whole animation system. If you're a modder looking for a base to build on, this is a classic. Skip if you need modern compatibility or a full animation suite.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an old mod, check if you're using Skyrim Legendary Edition or Special Edition—this may only work on the original version.
- If you use other animation mods, load this one early in your load order to avoid conflicts.
- Test in third person to see the new animations; first person won't show them.
