📋 About This Mod

Hi everyone, it's been roughly a year since I quit making animations for Skyrim. I made a retirement video, but I still get DMs and comments on my YouTube channel asking about OAR conversions or how to install the latest updates.

I decided to make a statement here and shamelessly plug my game project (Click the Image). If you're a mod author or someone looking to convert, update, or pack my animations into another mod, feel free to do so with my permission.

To game developers considering using my animations (I've had a couple reach out to me before), I advise against it. While some animations are original, many are remakes of existing game movesets. They're not ripped, and I have the blend files with keyframes as proof. They're not of a quality that would be mistaken for the originals anyway, but using them might still attract unwanted attention and criticism. It's better to purchase assets from the Unity asset store or hire an animator for custom work.

I still occasionally browse Skyrim to see the incredible mods people are creating, and I'm still managing the costumes blog. However, I don't know if I'll ever return to making animation mods for Skyrim. I enjoyed making them (especially in the beginning) and received a lot of support over the years from this wonderful community. But now, it's time for me to move on.

Thank you for your support over the years, and I hope you've enjoyed some of my work these past few years.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 903 endorsements and over 31k downloads.
  • Lightweight animation replacer that doesn't touch gameplay mechanics.
  • Works for both greatswords and battleaxes, so you get more bang for your buck.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects the normal sprint attack—other attack animations remain unchanged.
  • May conflict with other animation mods that alter the same sprint attack slot.
  • Last updated in 2020, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a fresh look for their two-handed sprint attacks without overhauling the entire combat system. If you're a melee-focused character who loves greatswords and battleaxes, this is a quick visual upgrade.

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
  • If you use other animation mods, check their load order to avoid conflicts—place this mod after them to ensure it takes effect.
  • Test the animation in third-person view to see the change clearly, as first-person may not show it.
