🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have Dynamic Animation Replacer installed and enabled before adding this mod, or the animations won't trigger.
Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to install and manage the mod, and check for conflicts with other animation mods that affect magic.
Test in third-person view while sneaking and moving to see the aim fix — it's most noticeable when strafing or turning.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust with 10,155 endorsements and 2.8M downloads — this is a proven animation overhaul.
- Fixes a real annoyance: magic aim jitter while moving, which is a common complaint in third-person play.
- Covers all magic styles (spells, staves, hybrid) so you get a unified sneak magic experience.
👎 Cons
- Requires Dynamic Animation Replacer (DAR) — if you don't have it, you'll need to install that first.

- Only affects sneaking animations; if you want non-sneak magic overhauls, you'll need other mods from the same series.
