📋 About This Mod

This is a vanilla replacer version, to be used as is, or to be placed in your folder structure of choice (Nemesis PCEA, Combo/Stances Animation Framework, etc...) and contains the following One-Handed animations:

-Standing power attack.

-Forward power attack.

-Backward power attack.

-Left power attack.

-Right power attack.

These animations have been adjusted throughout the past weeks to account for and avoid clipping with most types of equipment (or the lack thereof) on the left hand without compromising the animation quality.

My next animation project will mainly be focusing melee dual wielding.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust (12,600 endorsements, 1.8M downloads)
  • Adds variety to combat without changing gameplay mechanics
  • Works with Animation Motion Revolution for smoother motion

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires Animation Motion Revolution as a dependency, which may not be installed by default
  • Last updated in 2021, so may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates
  • Only affects one-handed power attacks, so other weapon types are unchanged
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want more dynamic and varied power attack animations for one-handed weapons. If you're tired of the vanilla swing and want a fresh feel without overhauling the entire combat system, this is for you. Skip if you use a comprehensive animation pack that already covers power attacks.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure Animation Motion Revolution is installed and loaded before this mod in your mod manager.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other animation mods.
  • Check for compatibility patches if you use other animation overhauls that affect power attacks.
