📋 About This Mod
DISCLAIMER
All credits should go to aedenthorn for the mod Animation Speed.
I just copied the codes of the mod, removed console related lines that caused console bug and other weapon related lines cause I just wanted GS speed.
KNOWN ISSUES
Consecutive attacks are slower than the first 3-hit combo. (It's still a bit faster than normal speed)
You can use other motions (e.g. walk, dodge, etc) between combos to avoid this issue.
INSTALLATION
Put the .dll file to the BepInEx plugins folder. Run the game once to create GreatswordAS.cfg file in BepInEx/config folder.
Open the .cfg file with notepad and change the number in line "GSSpeedMult = 1. 15" to whatever number you want.

Last updated August 2024, it offers a simple solution for a specific combat preference.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny download (434 downloads) and simple concept—does exactly what it says.
- Great for players who want faster or slower greatsword swings without overhaul mods.
- No dependencies or complex setup—just a gameplay tweak.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 11 endorsements—small community, so limited feedback and testing.
- No detailed instructions or configuration options provided—you'll need to figure out the specifics yourself.
- May conflict with other combat overhaul mods that alter weapon speed—test carefully.
For Skyrim players who love greatswords but feel the default swing speed is off—whether too sluggish or too snappy. If you're a melee-focused warrior looking for a quick tweak without overhauling combat, this is for you. Skip if you want comprehensive combat changes or if you're not comfortable tweaking game settings.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mod, place the file in your Data folder or use a mod manager—either works.
- Test the attack speed in combat after installing to see if it feels right; you may need to adjust values in the mod's settings.
- If you use other combat mods, load this one after them to ensure your speed changes take priority.
