📋 About This Mod
Stops your character running like a girl. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just prefer a more athletic performance myself. I also feel like the male animations are somewhat more polished, especially the jumping ones. They have more momentum to them in general, and even more so in low gravity environments.
All jogging, running and jumping animations are replaced with the male variants, except for jogging while holding a pistol, which just didn't blend well enough with the female walk. Idle, walking and sprint animations are untouched.
INSTALLATION
Use a mod manager or manually extract the archive to the game's root folder. Also, make sure you have a StarfieldCustom.ini file in your "..\Documents\My Games\Starfield" folder with at least the following contents:
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
COMPATIBILITY
Should be compatible with any mods not doing the same thing.
Stop Running Like a Girl replaces most female jogging, running, and jumping animations with male versions, offering a subtle but impactful change for players who prefer a more neutral or masculine movement style. With 86 endorsements and over 5,800 downloads, it's a niche cosmetic mod that's easy to install.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says—no bloat.
- Solid community trust (86 endorsements) for a niche mod.
- Easy drop-in install, no dependencies.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects female animations—if you play male characters, this is useless.
- May clash with other animation mods that alter the same files.
- Not updated since September 2023—could be outdated for newer game versions.
For players who find the default female running animations too 'girly' and want a more neutral or masculine movement style. Also for modders who want a base to build on. Skip if you're happy with the default animations or play mostly male characters.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check if you have other animation mods installed—this mod may conflict, so load order matters.
- Test in third-person view to see the changes immediately.
