✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid niche fix for UAPNG users (233 endorsements).
- Adds a layer of realism to combat—NPCs actually disengage to heal.
- Recent update (Dec 2025) means it's actively maintained.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you have UAPNG installed—no standalone value.
- Retreat behavior might feel odd if you're used to NPCs standing their ground.
- Potential conflicts with other combat AI mods that alter NPC behavior.
For Skyrim players who use Ultimate Animated Potions NG and want NPCs to act smarter during combat. If you're tired of NPCs getting one-shot while chugging potions, this is for you. Skip if you don't use UAPNG or prefer vanilla combat behavior.

- Make sure UAPNG is installed and loaded before this mod.
- If you use a mod manager, just download and activate—no manual file placement needed.
- Test with a few NPCs in combat to see if the retreat behavior feels right for your setup.
