✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 773 endorsements and 408k downloads show it's a go-to for animation fixes.
- Fills real gaps left by other animation mods, making it a natural companion for Weapon Styles.
- Recently updated (July 2025) so it's likely compatible with current game patches.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Weapon Styles – Draw-Sheathe animations as a base, so you need that mod installed first.
- Only covers draw/sheathe animations—if you want other combat animations, this won't help.
For players who already use Weapon Styles – Draw-Sheathe and want complete coverage for all weapon types. If you're tired of missing animations for certain combos, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use Weapon Styles or want full combat overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Weapon Styles – Draw-Sheathe installed first, as this mod builds on it.
- Use a mod manager to avoid overwriting files manually—this mod likely replaces animation files.
- Check the mod's posts section for any load order advice, since animation mods can conflict.
