Installation
- Use any mod manager or manually copy the content from this mod's 'Data' into your Skyrim 'Data' folder.
Disclaimer: As is the case with my previous mods, while grounded, historical accuracy and realism (ex: shield in front) are not the intent of my animations, nor do I claim that they are. The animations are simply made according to my personal taste which is inevitably skewed by video games I played in the past. If you happen to share the same preferences that I do, then I'm happy for you!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,464 endorsements and 36,957 downloads
- Simple drop-in animation replacer with no extra dependencies
- Improves combat feel for one-handed builds without overhauling the whole game
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other animation mods
- Only affects normal attacks, not power attacks or other weapon types
For Skyrim players who want smoother, more realistic one-handed attack animations without a full combat overhaul. If you're tired of the vanilla swings and want a lightweight improvement, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for power attack changes or animations for other weapon types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily enable/disable and avoid overwriting other animation mods.
- If you use other animation mods, check load order — this mod should be loaded after to ensure its animations take priority.
- Make sure to run FNIS or Nemesis if you have other animation mods that require it, though this mod itself doesn't need it.
