📋 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.

3 unique normal attacks + 1 duplicate

REQUIREMENTS

(SGC) SkySA - Combat Behavior Compulsion - by Distar66

Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine - By ShikyoKira

INSTALLATION

Install mod as you would any other

Run Nemesis with SkySA patch selected (no specific patch included in this mod)

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.

🎯 Is This For You?

💡 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.
