📋 About This Mod
Replaces the Combat and Non-Combat animations from Smooths Mod to fit my attacks better.
This is a small animation replacer for Skyrim that swaps the combat and non-combat idle animations from Smooth's Mod to better match the author's attack style. With 159 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated tweak for players who use Smooth's animations and want a more aggressive stance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 159 endorsements and over 6,000 downloads.
- Tweaks Smooth's animations to feel more aggressive and fitting for dual-wield combat.
- Simple drop-in replacer—no complex setup needed.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Smooth's Mod as a base, so it's useless without it.
- Only affects idle animations, not actual attack moves—don't expect new combat moves.
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with newer animation frameworks or game versions.
For Skyrim players who already use Smooth's animation mod and want a more aggressive idle stance for dual-wielding. If you're not using Smooth's mod or want full combat overhauls, skip this—it's purely a cosmetic idle tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Smooth's Mod installed first, or this replacer won't work.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily overwrite the animation files.
- If you're using other animation mods, load this one after them to ensure it takes priority.
