✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 345 endorsements and over 614k downloads
- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says
- Adds subtle variety to combat without overhauling everything
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one-handed swords, so other weapon types are untouched
- Third-person only – first-person players get nothing
- Last updated in 2022, so may need testing with newer Skyrim versions
For Skyrim players who want a bit more life in their third-person combat animations without a full overhaul. If you're a first-person purist or mainly use two-handed weapons, this mod isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you're using the correct mod manager (Vortex or MO2) to avoid overwriting other animation mods.
- Since it's third-person only, test it by switching to third-person view during combat.
- If you use other animation mods, load this one after them to ensure its animations take priority.
