📋 About This Mod
JH Combat Animation Pack for SkySA
With 260+ animations this pack aims to create a seamless gameplay experience, where animations work together. The ultimate goal is to animate pretty much everything combat-related for a SkySA-Skyrim. Many of the attack animations included take inspiration or direct reference from Dark Souls, and overall are designed to have a similar feel.
Main module
contains:Combat idles
Blockbashes (normal and power)
Walks (2 options)
Runs (2 options)
Movesets
"Duplicate"-attacks are slightly adjusted to better fit the chain of attacks.
For instance, a normal attack chain could be Attack1 -> Attack2 -> Duplicate Attack1 -> Attack4.
I opted for less variety in power attacks (within each weapon type) to keep a consistent feel.

KNOWN ISSUES
For armors that use skirtbones (not SMP related), the skirt will clip through many of the animations. I will iron this issue out in future updates.
Issues with power attacks registering incorrectly. I will keep optimizing for future updates. For now (and in general) I recommend a mod that separates power attack input from left click.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 5,433 endorsements and 334k downloads
- Covers all vanilla weapon types, so you get a full combat overhaul
- Built for SkySA, so it integrates smoothly if you're already using that combat mod
⚠️ Cons
- Requires SkySA as a dependency, so it's not a standalone animation pack
- Last updated in November 2021, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or newer animation frameworks
For Skyrim players who use SkySA and want to refresh combat animations across all weapon types. If you're not using SkySA, this mod isn't for you unless you're willing to switch. Skip if you prefer lightweight animation mods or don't want to deal with framework dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SkySA is installed and working before adding this pack, as the animations are built for it.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to install and manage the mod, and check the mod's posts for any load order or compatibility notes.
- If you're using other animation mods, be aware of potential conflicts—test in a new game or save to ensure animations play correctly.
