About
I'm a programmer, not an animator. So this whole thing is a learning process for me. I hope you're still getting something out of it.
Status
Installation
I recommend Mod Organizer, it's a really great program. I don't use NMM anymore, but I'm told that the installer works.
Known Problems
- []No cloak animations? There's finally a physics based solution: Capes with HDT physics by kryptongirlkara. []The sprint looks rather stupid with a shield equipped. -> Use a mod that automatically unequips the shield when you sheath your weapon. []You have a custom skeleton and the torch doesn't work? -> Run FNIS with the "Skeleton Arm Fix" patch enabled. []The run animation was created for normal running speed (light armor). If your heavy armor/weapon is slowing you down, the animation will look wrong. I even tried modifying the behavior files to fix this, but it's not working. This problem exists in the vanilla game and with all animation mods out there. Maybe it's just more noticeable with my mod since the focus is on being physically plausible.
Plans for the future (no promises, no dates)
Thank You

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 5,062 endorsements and 74,653 downloads.
- Simple, focused animation replacer that does exactly what it says.
- Installer with options lets you pick and choose what to install.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other animation mods.
- Only covers basic locomotion; no combat or idle animations included.
For Skyrim players who want a fresh take on basic movement animations without overhauling everything. If you're tired of the vanilla run cycle and want a simple, installer-driven replacement, this is for you. Skip if you need combat or idle animations — this mod only touches locomotion.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Mod Organizer or NMM to install — the installer lets you choose which animations to include.
- Check your load order if you use other animation mods; this mod should be loaded after them to overwrite correctly.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, this mod may need conversion — test it in a new game first.
