📋 About This Mod
This is the bowlegged jump animation fix for Skyrim Special Edition. The original author mirap who made the original mod hasn't been online since January 2016 so I decided to convert his animation files to work in Skyrim Special Edition. So all credits to him. If he comes back online he can take over this mod.
How to install: Use NMM or unzip the archive and copy the "meshes" folder into Skyrim Special Edition/Data folder
The first image is the vanilla one and the second picture is modded one. It's kinda hard to capture the difference in pictures so I made a video of showing the difference.

This tiny animation mod fixes the awkward frog-like jump animation for both male and female characters in Skyrim.

Ideal for players who want smoother, more natural movement without any gameplay changes.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with nearly 7k endorsements and over 192k downloads—clearly a go-to fix.
- Does exactly what it says: kills that silly frog jump for both genders, no bloat.
- Lightweight and easy to install; just drop it in and you're done.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be compatible with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter jump animations.
- Only fixes the jump animation—if you're looking for a full animation overhaul, this isn't it.
- Potential conflicts with other animation mods that touch jump or movement behavior.
For Skyrim players who are tired of the goofy frog jump and want a quick, no-nonsense fix. If you're a modder or someone who wants more animation variety, skip this—it's purely a single animation correction.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use a conversion tool—this one is from 2016 and may need tweaking.
- Place this mod early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other animation mods.
