📋 About This Mod
If you've installed the older version of Stop On Slash before, Delete StopOnSlash.ini in your overwrite/MCM/Settings folder. I've reworked MCM structure so the old version of ini will cause weird glitches.
-<|HitStop&ScreenShake|>- One of a modern action game's goal is to make the player feel the "action"-the force of its punches and swings-through visual means. One of the means to achieve it, is hitstop. A well-tweaked hitStop mechanism makes every hit feel unique and visceral, and this feature has been lacking from Skyrim for 10+ years. Stop On Slash(SOS) brings the feature to Skyrim.

There are two key factors that affect the punchiness of a hitStop: stop time and stop speed.TIME AND SPEED
Stop time: the length of time of a single hitStop, in miliSeconds. longer stop time == heftier slash
Stop speed: the proportion of your attacking speed to your normal attacking speed. lower stop Speed == more solid hit
SOS offers per-weapon hitStop multiplier. For example, having both multipliers of dagger set to 1 simply means its stop time and speed are identical to the base stop time and speed.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 3,602 endorsements and 758k downloads
- Tiny mod that punches above its weight—adds game-feel without bloat
- Last updated April 2022, still relevant for AE users
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects melee hits—no feedback for ranged or magic
- Requires SKSE, so not for console or non-SKSE setups
For Skyrim players who want melee combat to feel weighty and impactful without overhauling the whole combat system. Perfect for modded playthroughs where you're already running SKSE and want a quick, lightweight addition. Skip if you prefer vanilla combat or don't use SKSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the correct SKSE version for your Skyrim edition (AE vs SE) or the plugin won't load.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install, and check that the plugin appears in your load order.
- If you don't feel the effect, verify SKSE is running by opening the console and typing 'getskseversion'.
