📋 About This Mod
Nothing new at the moment.
This mod exists for the sake of users who couldn't 'Do It Yourself' convert from my oldrim mod to SSE.

OPTIONAL
============
Female version of the movement with exclusive path already added in v0. 7. To activate female motions so it will distinct from the male, it requires
1. FNIS installation
2. tick "gender-specific Animations" patch-in "GenerateFNISforUsers.exe" application
Of course, if you could also try other stuff like PCEA with either FNIS or Nemesis
- to fix some 'clunky' and 'unnatural' motions (probably)
"THERE ARE THAT WE LIKE BUT THERE IS THAT WE DON"T"
====================================================
I made this section just in case you want to keep some motion still looks vanilla. Look it inside
data\meshes\actors\character\animations\
just delete any file that you don't want to have
- for animation like e.g healing
mrh/mlh_preselfcon.hkx
mrh/mlh_selfconcentration.hkx
- for animation like e.g ward
mrh/mlh_preward.hkx
mrh/mlh_wardloop.hkx
- e.g flames, lightning
mrh/mlh_preready.hkx
mrh/mlh_preaimedcon.hkx
mrh/mlh_aimedconcentration.hkx
- e.g fireball
mrh/mlh_precharge
mrh/mlh_preready.hkx
mrh/mlh_readyloop.hkx
mrh/mlh_release.hkx
- telekinesis
any files that have a word "telekinesis" on the file name
any files that have a word "idle" on the file name
any files that have word "run, walk, turn and sprint"

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,881 endorsements and over 90k downloads.
- Simple drop-in replacer—no complex setup.
- Gives your mage a fresh look without changing gameplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects third-person view; first-person casting remains unchanged.
- May conflict with other animation mods that alter casting.
- Last updated in 2020, so no recent patches for newer game versions.
For Skyrim players who spend time in third-person and want their magic casting to feel more dynamic. If you're a first-person purist or prefer gameplay over visuals, this isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other animation mods.
- Check your load order—place this after other animation mods to ensure it takes effect.
- If you use FNIS or Nemesis, run the tool after installation to update animations.
