Q: Is it compatible with X?
A: Should be compatible with everything, except for Archery gameplay overhaul and Scoped bows.
Q: Camera movement makes me motion-sick
A: Sad to hear this, but i won't do anything about this, because it will require A LOT of VERY boring work from me.
Q: I don't like something!
A: Sad to hear this, but i also won't do anything about this (if it's not a bug). Blender is free, you can make anims yourself.
❖ Recommended mods ❖
Every mod by Coach - coz he makes 1st person mods that make game 100x times better
Every mod by JellyFish - coz they are really cool
If you want something with different flavour and unique beast race animations - try Minemiz bow animations!
❖ Credits ❖
JellyFish - for helping with basically each step, this mod wouldn't be possible without his help.
COACHWICKWACK - for modifying Nickanak rig, listening to my feedback and making adjustments to his rig, made the whole process 100 times easier
And to my friend, who made a couple of Blender plugins to me, you know, who you are, thank u, hopefully someday you will mod something other than STALKER.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 936 endorsements and over 94k downloads – clearly a hit.
- Covers sneaking and dodging animations, so you get a full package.
- One of the best archery animation mods on Nexus, according to the author.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects first-person view – third-person archery animations remain unchanged.
- May conflict with other animation mods that alter the same skeleton or animation slots.
- No explicit compatibility notes for popular mods like FNIS or Nemesis, so you might need to test.
For Skyrim players who spend a lot of time in first-person archery and want more fluid, varied animations. If you're a sneak archer or love dodging around, this mod adds that extra flair. Skip if you play mostly in third-person or don't care about animation details.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to run FNIS or Nemesis after installing to update animation lists.
- If you use other animation mods, load this one after them to ensure it takes priority.
- Test in first-person with a bow equipped to see the new animations immediately.
