Swing with finesse, or raw power, feel the weight of the warhammer in your hands.
Compatible with all other animation replacers. Yes, you can install it on top of CPFAO. No, it won't break anything.
Fixed "arms in the air" bug that is present with most other animation replacers.
No over-the-top animations, no reverse grip - everything is as close to realism as possible without hurting gameplay and entertainment.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,474 endorsements and 376k downloads
- Kills the floating arms bug – that alone is worth it
- Four animation sets give you variety without needing other mods
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers greatswords – if you use other weapon types, you'll need separate mods
- No screenshots or videos in the description, so you're flying blind on the look
- Last updated April 2026 – might not be patched for future game updates
For Skyrim players who live in first-person and want greatsword swings to feel weighty and smooth. If you're a third-person purist or don't use greatswords, this isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager and make sure it's placed after other animation mods to avoid conflicts.
- Test in first-person with a greatsword equipped – dodge animations are triggered by movement keys, so try sprinting and sidestepping.
- If you use a mod that changes first-person arms, check compatibility – this mod replaces them.
