📋 About This Mod
In Vanilla Skyrim, trying to sprint while sneaking does nothing (except triggering a sneak roll if you have the perk).
This mod fixes that.
Press your sprint key while moving and start sprinting -- no need to manually exit sneak mode first.
You will need to hold the sprint key slightly (0. 2 sec).
No esp/no scripts. Install/Uninstall/Update whenever.
Works in SE (1. 5. 97) and AE (16. 1170, 1. 6. 1179). Not tested by me in other versions.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,059 endorsements and over 672k downloads — clearly a well-loved fix.
- Does exactly what it says: one key press gets you out of sneak and into a sprint, no extra steps.
- Tiny mod, no bloat — just the behavior change you want.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you have a dedicated Sprint key bound; if you use toggle sprint, this might not behave as expected.
- Last updated in January 2026 — could break with future game patches, though it's recent enough for now.
For players who are tired of accidentally staying in sneak when they want to sprint, especially in combat or exploration. If you're a stealth player who frequently transitions between sneaking and running, this is a must-have. Skip if you never use sneak or if you prefer to manually exit sneak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a Sprint key bound in your game settings; this mod uses that key to trigger the exit.
- If you use toggle sneak, test the mod in a safe area first to see how it interacts with your keybinds.
- Since it's a simple mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your game's Data folder — no mod manager needed.
