📋 About This Mod
DAR animation mod that gives injury animations to all NPCs (enemies, followers, allies and player) whenever they receive an injury from the mods Wildcat or Vigor (any of its versions with injury system).
Wildcat has an injury system that gives all actors 1 of its 5 possible injuries whenever they go below a certain health percentage (configurable in the MCM), this animation mod gives animations that reflect said injuries, the 5 injuries are: Head, Chest, Spine, Arm and Leg.
Injuries last 5 minutes but can be cured earlier if you fully heal yourself.
Vigor similar to Wildcat shares many of its injuries and has some more that will be added eventually.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 667 endorsements and 36k downloads
- Covers both player and NPCs, including followers, for full immersion
- Lightweight animation mod that doesn't overhaul combat, just adds injury reactions
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Dynamic Animation Replacer, so it's not a standalone drop-in
- Last updated in March 2023, so it may not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Potential conflicts with other DAR-based animation mods that modify the same slots
For Skyrim players who want more visceral combat feedback without a full combat overhaul. If you're already using DAR and want injury reactions for you and your followers, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use DAR or prefer gameplay changes over cosmetic animations.

- Make sure Dynamic Animation Replacer is installed and up to date before adding this mod.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to avoid overwriting other DAR animation mods.
