📋 About This Mod
This mod fixes the wrong recoiltimed animation for warhammer, battleaxe, quarterstaff. It works both in vanilla and MCO animation framework.
Fixes a Skyrim animation bug where NPCs using two-handed axes or hammers play the greatsword recoil animation when staggered. Uses OAR to rematch the correct animation, with a negative priority for compatibility. A small, focused fix with 143 endorsements and 13,076 downloads, last updated April 2024.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes a real immersion-breaking bug that's been bothering players for ages (143 endorsements).
- Tiny, focused mod that does one thing and does it well—no bloat.
- Negative priority means it plays nice with other animation mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires OAR (Open Animation Replacer) as a dependency, so you need to have that installed.
- Only affects two-handed axes and hammers—doesn't touch other weapon types.
- Compatibility risk with other animation mods that modify the same recoil animations, though negative priority helps.
For Skyrim players who notice and hate the janky stagger animation on two-handed axe/hammer NPCs. If you're a stickler for realistic combat animations, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use OAR or don't care about NPC animation quirks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure OAR is installed and enabled before adding this mod, or it won't work.
- If you use other animation mods, check their load order—this mod's negative priority should keep it compatible, but test in-game.
- Since it's a simple replacer, you can easily remove it if you don't like the effect—just uninstall and the vanilla animation returns.
