📋 About This Mod
This covers the idle, turns, walks, runs and strafes in all directions, sprints, equip and unequip animations with fists out/unsheathed with no weapons equipped (Unarmed) and while out of combat/during exploration, which means that your existing unarmed stance/movement animations will still play while in combat.
The animations apply to both the player character and NPCs.
This mod is now also included in my All-In-One Collection.

Vanargand Animations II replaces unarmed non-combat locomotion animations—idle, turns, equip/unequip, walks, strafes, runs, and sprints—with new ones. Requires Open Animation Replacer. A popular animation overhaul for Skyrim, with over 5,000 endorsements and 1.5 million downloads, last updated in November 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust: 5,085 endorsements and 1.5 million downloads—this is a proven mod.
- Covers a full set of unarmed locomotion animations, so your character moves consistently.
- Last updated in late 2023, so it's likely compatible with recent Skyrim versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Open Animation Replacer, so you need to install that first—extra step.
- Only affects non-combat animations; combat unarmed moves are untouched.
For Skyrim players who want smoother, more natural unarmed movement when not fighting—like when exploring towns or walking around. If you're into immersion and use Open Animation Replacer already, this is a must-try. Skip if you only care about combat animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Open Animation Replacer installed and enabled before adding this mod.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to avoid overwriting other animation mods.
- Check the mod's files for any optional patches or compatibility notes if you use other animation overhauls.
