📋 About This Mod
Drawing, sheathing or shouting while sprinting/sneaking may cause the game to set incorrect movement data on the character, causing it to slow down or speed up. For example, NPC_Sprinting_MT should be set while sprinting, instead NPC_Default_MT is applied when a weapon is drawn. Apparently this is due to mistakes in behavior graphs.
Check if the movement type that the behavior graph wants aligns with actual sprint/sneak state. If that's not the case, choose and apply the correct one instead.
Other similar fixes already exist, why make this?
The ones I found either fixed it partially by patching behaviors or applied a workaround through scripts that had side effects. I wanted to be completely rid of this glitch so I had to come up with a different approach.
Prerequisites and installation
SKSE64 and the address library are required. Install manually or with a mod manager.
If you want to apply the fix to NPCs too, set ApplyToNPC=true in SSMT_Fix.ini.
Compatibility issues
None that I'm aware of, let me know if you find any.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 10,527 endorsements and 3.7 million downloads — clearly a must-have for many.
- Tiny, focused fix that solves a specific annoyance without bloat.
- Active maintenance (last updated December 2023) suggests ongoing compatibility.
⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who are tired of the movement speed glitch when drawing weapons or shouting while sneaking or sprinting. If you use SKSE64 and want a clean, performance-friendly fix, this is for you. Skip if you're playing without SKSE64 or prefer all-in-one bug fix packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SKSE64 is installed and launched via skse64_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the plugin won't load.
- Place the DLL in your Data/SKSE/Plugins folder — no ESP or load order management needed.
- If you're using a mod manager, you can install it like any other mod, but manual placement works just as well.
