📋 About This Mod
Serana has a unique crossed arms idle. During this idle, her shoulders become unnaturally pointed. All I've done is adjust the shoulder and upper arm poses during the multiple iterations of this idle, which should fix the problem. Should be compatible with everything.
A tiny animation fix for Skyrim that corrects Serana's overly pointed shoulders during her crossed-arms idle pose. With 1,473 endorsements and 223,902 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tweak for players who notice the awkward stance. Last updated in October 2021, it remains a simple, effective fix for a common visual annoyance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 1,473 endorsements and over 223k downloads show it's a go-to fix.
- Does exactly what it says—no bloat, just a clean animation tweak.
- Works for players who want a subtle visual improvement without overhauling Serana's look.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or mods that alter Serana's animations.
- Only fixes one idle pose; if you're looking for broader animation changes, this won't cover them.
For Skyrim players who notice Serana's stiff shoulder pose and want a quick, no-fuss fix. Also great for modders who appreciate small polish tweaks. Skip if you want major animation overhauls or if you're on a version that might conflict with older mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it'll handle the file placement automatically.
- Make sure to load this mod after any mod that changes Serana's appearance or animations to ensure the fix applies.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check that the mod's file structure matches your game version; if not, you may need to manually place the files.
