Animations

updated August 1st, 2022

The only reason why I'm making this page is at request from an Aussie and I guess it is kinda overdue since animations are kinda wanted for posing and replacing the sorry excuse of animations bethesda gave us. (Did they get some kid from a special school to model?) Obviously, all these mods are going have you need FNIS.

-Under construction-

Animations

These are mods that make you and the inhabitants of Skyrim not move like robots all the time. Note: All of these mods require FNIS to work which you should have already installed into your game already. Many of these mods conflict with eachother since they are animation packs so please don't try to mix match animations of the same weapon with another. IE: Trying to mix

YY Anim Replacer - Zweihander with Enhanced Animation's two hander animations.

(HINT HINT, THE NAME IS ALSO THE LINK TO THE DOWNLOAD PAGE)

Realistic Animation Project - Idles

R.A.P - Idles currently offers you 16 idles and around 18 minutes of animation to choose from.
But why you ask? Well, these aren't your standard idles, they are much longer and have a lot more detail than other idles.
For comparison the vanilla idles have around 200 frames (about 7-8 seconds) and then they loop and start over. These new idles have anywhere between 1200 and 3000 frames each (40seconds to 2 minutes), allowing for more detail and more unique, less repetitive movement.

Realistic Animation Project Movement

Have you ever felt like the animations in Skyrim feel a bit stiff, generic or just plain old and rusty? R.A.P - Movement offers you reworked movement animations that include complete working functionality.

Magiska - Spell Casting Animations

Magiska is an animation mod, that replaces the vanilla spell casting animations of Skyrim. The animations focus on making the character appear more proficient with spell casting and make use of a lot of hand gestures during casting. Intended for female characters, but can also be used for male characters.

Smooth Combat - Non Combat Animation Sys This mod separates the idle animation from combat and non-combat situations when the weapon is taken out.	Jarl Sitting Animation Replacer - Vanill Replace the Jarl sitting animation with the ones used by Arch Curate Vyrthur during the Dawnguard questline. Comes in as a full replacer, randomized (DAR) as gender-specific replacer (FNIS\Nemesis), or as player-only (DAR).	zxlice's ultimate potion animation - ZUP An Animated Potion mechanism-changing SKSE plugin, which makes player and NPCs to have realistic potion animation without delay, and designed to maximize the compatibility with all potions. NEMESIS REQUIRED!
SIZE MATTERS - First Person Combat Anima 60+ new animations to enhance your first person combat experience. New unique animations for katana style weapons and daggers. New block idles and block bashes. No Nemesis or FNIS patch required.	EVG Conditional Idles Handmade animations that only play in specific conditions. Unintrusive, no gameplay changes.	Rougeshot Rougeshot is currently going through the game and making custom skeletons for all vanilla creatures. We highly recommend his animation mods.
Weapon Blocking Punch Replaces either (or both) the light or heavy bash attack when blocking.	Dragon Animation Replace Now this is a bit different. This mod replaces several of the dragon animations so that they look less hunched over all the time.	No Spinning Death Animation Simply removes the spinning around dance animation that they do before death, they will now just ragdoll when killed. Works for normal deaths and dying from a high fall. It will not affect killmoves.
YY Anim Replacer - Mystic Knight This mod replaces one-handed sword and magic animations. Designed to fit a character with a sword in one hand, a magic in the other, such as Spellsword, Battle Mage or Mystic Knight, or pure Mage.	Pretty Combat Animations A collection of several different idle animations for weapons and magic. Some of them will look weird with other animations.	Pretty Sit Idles Just like Pretty Combat Idles, this mod is a collection of animations that you can switch between. This mod just changes the default character sit idle. There's a bunch of strange ones you can choose from like crouched on a chair, leaning, and even this weird prayer float.
Run Sprint and Jump This mod replaces the running, sprinting, and jumping animations for male and female, all except for back step. They all look more natural and fit perfectly with Immersive Animations because it's the same author.	Simple Sit Idle Animation New sitting animations for females only. Legs are curved differently than vanilla and one variant is cross legged.	Male Idle Animation Replacer Ever wonder why the idle animations in Bethesda games look so lifeless? Well worry no more with this mod! These are pulled straight from the vanilla animations and chosen with clipping and smooth transition in mind. They might not be for you but, if your sick of the arms of your character hanging there limply then this is for you.
YY Anim Replacer - Princess Horse Riding Changes the female horse riding animation so that they ride sidesaddle.	YY Anim Replacer - Zweihander Changes two handed weapon animations so that you hold them rested on your shoulder.	Martial Arts Animations replacer for hand to hand and jump. Your stance will be changed to a kung-fu like stance and your power attacks are replaced with kicks.
Pseudo parry animation An very strange but neet looking animation mod. This mod replaces the animation when you block or parry with a one handed or two handed weapon. Instead of just being pushed back, this new mod adds new animations that make it look like you're actually deflecting an attack.	Immersive Animations Replaces old animations with new one's that look less robotic and better looking than the original animations. This also includes multiple options and fixes.	Magic Run Animation Replaces the awkward running animation when having magic equipped.
Blocking Animation Pack Blocking animation replacer for greatsword, battleaxe, warhammer, one-handed and dual wield. This mod make it looks like we avoid and deflected the attack, push it aside to left or right. Blocking animation for third person and first person view, comes with three different variants for each state except dual wield.
