📋 About This Mod
Windows GUI program for converting hkx files between Skyrim SE/LE formats and XML for modding
HKX Conversion Tool is a GUI wrapper for serde-hkx that converts Havok files between XML, Skyrim LE (win32), and Skyrim SE (amd64) formats. It replaces the outdated Havok Content Tools workflow with batch conversion, output folder options, and a user-friendly interface. Ideal for Skyrim animation modders who need to convert files for Blender.

- Batch conversion and output options make it a practical tool for animation modders
⚠️ Cons
- Requires manual extraction and running the executable, which might confuse non-technical users

For Skyrim animation modders who need to convert hkx files between LE and SE formats for use in Blender. Also for modders who want a modern alternative to the outdated Havok Content Tools. Skip if you don't work with animations or need a command-line tool.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Extract the zip to a dedicated folder, not your Skyrim directory, to keep things organized.
- When converting for Blender, always convert SE (amd64) files to LE (win32) format first.
- Use batch conversion to process multiple animation files at once, saving time on large projects.
