📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 642 endorsements and nearly 14k downloads.
- Addresses a real annoyance—jittery aim—making stealth archery feel smoother.
- Lightweight and focused; does one thing and does it well.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in June 2022—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other animation mods.
- Only affects sneak crossbow animations, so if you want broader animation overhauls, this won't cover them.
For Skyrim players who use crossbows in stealth and are bothered by the jittery aim when moving. If you're a stealth archer or crossbow enthusiast looking for a smoother experience, this is a must-try. Skip if you want comprehensive animation overhauls—this is a niche fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after other animation mods to ensure it takes priority.
- If you use a mod manager, install via mod manager to easily toggle it on/off if you encounter issues.
- Test in third-person and first-person to see the animation changes; you may need to adjust your FOV for the best view.
