📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 746 endorsements and over 457k downloads.
  • Seamless transitions make sneaking feel fluid and natural.
  • Unisex animations mean you don't need separate mods for male and female characters.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Open Animation Replacer (OAR) as a dependency, which may be unfamiliar to some users.
  • Only covers sneak animations—doesn't affect other movement or combat.
  • As a first animation project, may lack the polish of more experienced animators.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want smoother, more immersive sneak animations without overhauling the entire movement system. Ideal for stealth-focused characters and roleplayers who value attention to detail. Skip if you're looking for comprehensive animation overhauls or don't use OAR.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes
