📋 About This Mod
The sword animations had a few problems.
1. When crouching, the sneak animation would not play unless you moved.
2. When the sneak animation did play, it would not use the correct sword sneaking animation, making you sneak with an open hand.
3. Sometimes if you equipped your sword while moving, your animation would revert to Vanilla unless you stopped moving first. these problems have been fixed
Fixes three specific bugs in one-handed sword animations for Skyrim: sneak animation not playing while stationary, incorrect sneak stance, and animation reverting to vanilla when equipping while moving. A targeted fix mod with 337 endorsements and 7,423 downloads, last updated January 2023.

- Community-trusted with 337 endorsements and over 7,400 downloads

⚠️ Cons
