⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Community favorite with 7,864 endorsements and 275k downloads — clearly a go-to for animation overhauls.
Focused on one-handed combat, so you get a cohesive set of moves without bloat.
Standalone package means you don't need the full PCA mod to enjoy these animations.

👎 Cons

Last updated in April 2022 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other animation mods.
Only covers one-handed melee; if you want two-handed or ranged animations, you'll need other mods.
No detailed description of what animations are changed — you'll have to test in-game to see the differences.
