🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the Handsome Heart - Mesh Replacer mod installed first, or this animation won't have anything to apply to.
Since it's a simple animation replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable it in your mod manager—no complex load order tweaks needed.
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Over 321,000 downloads show it's a popular addition for OWB fans.
- Tiny mod that adds a subtle but immersive touch to the iconic heart in the tank.
- Recent update (Dec 2025) means it's likely compatible with current game versions.
👎 Cons
- Requires another mod (Handsome Heart - Mesh Replacer) to work, so it's not standalone.
- Only affects one specific object—if you don't use that mesh replacer, this is useless.
- No detailed description or install instructions provided by the author.
