📋 About This Mod
Hi everyone, it's been roughly a year since I quit making animations for Skyrim. I made a retirement video, but I still get DMs and comments on my YouTube channel asking about OAR conversions or how to install the latest updates.
I decided to make a statement here and shamelessly plug my game project (Click the Image). If you're a mod author or someone looking to convert, update, or pack my animations into another mod, feel free to do so with my permission.
To game developers considering using my animations (I've had a couple reach out to me before), I advise against it. While some animations are original, many are remakes of existing game movesets. They're not ripped, and I have the blend files with keyframes as proof. They're not of a quality that would be mistaken for the originals anyway, but using them might still attract unwanted attention and criticism. It's better to purchase assets from the Unity asset store or hire an animator for custom work.
I still occasionally browse Skyrim to see the incredible mods people are creating, and I'm still managing the costumes blog. However, I don't know if I'll ever return to making animation mods for Skyrim. I enjoyed making them (especially in the beginning) and received a lot of support over the years from this wonderful community. But now, it's time for me to move on.
Thank you for your support over the years, and I hope you've enjoyed some of my work these past few years.

My Other Released MCO Animations
This mod replaces unarmed attack animations for MCO (Modern Combat Overhaul) in Skyrim, catering to players who want new fist-fight movesets. With 1,480 endorsements and 737,439 downloads, it's a popular, straightforward animation replacer, though last updated in October 2022.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 1,480 endorsements and 737k downloads show this is a trusted mod in the community.
- Focused on unarmed only, so it doesn't affect other animations.
- Last updated October 2022, so it's a finished mod rather than a work-in-progress.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires MCO, so if you don't use Modern Combat Overhaul, this mod is useless.
- No updates since 2022, meaning any newer MCO changes aren't accounted for.
- Only modifies unarmed animations; all other weapon animations remain vanilla.
Skyrim players who use MCO and want a dedicated unarmed animation set for fist-fighting builds. Perfect for players who already have MCO installed and just need a drop-in unarmed moveset. Skip if you don't use MCO or want a complete animation overhaul beyond unarmed combat.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install MCO first and ensure it's working before adding this replacer.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily install and remove the animation files.
- After installing, run your animation tool (like Nemesis) if your mod setup requires it for MCO.
