🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod replaces animation files, make sure to place it in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex to avoid conflicts.
If you use other animation mods, check load order—this one should typically override base animations but not conflict with other replacers.
After installing, test by getting knocked down in combat to see the new animation; if it doesn't work, verify the file paths match your game version.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
