Animation mods are extremely popular in Skyrim. Not only because people use them to create better cinematics, but also because many casual players like to improve the animations of the game to make it feel smoother.

And I don’t want you to go around like a headless chicken installing random mods hoping for the best. That should be my job!

Bear in mind that most of these mods should work perfectly fine with Skyrim SE, though some are not tested to work with the traditional version of the game. Back up your files before installing.

Fores New Idles is basically the mod of all mods, as it enables many of the animation mods on Skyrim to work as intended.

Thankfully the guy who created it has included a tutorial video in the description. Actually, just check the mod page because there’s about 5+ video tutorials and they’re all really helpful.

FNI is what will let you install other idles animations in Skyrim so this is a must-have, but also not exactly the best animation mod you can find. But definitely start here!

This mod, which has a bit of a cringey name, does improve the way all females move in Skyrim. And makes it so you can actually see the difference between the walk styles of women and men in the game.

No longer will you have to see women walk in the most uninspired way possible. Now every woman in the game will have a much realistic walk style to give far more immersive values into the gameplay.

If you want to have your game filled with new animations and reinvigorate the way Skyrim looks without altering the “vanilla essence”, this is the mod for you.

The main purpose of Immersive Animations is to make character movement feel much more realistic than it does in the base game.

You can consider IA to be an overhaul of the game’s base animations, without feeling out of touch with the game itself.

The kill moves that this mod adds to the game are absolutely insane. If you have a warrior and you want to see some epic kills, get this mod installed ASAP.

I recommend installing this mod if you have custom female characters in your game, or if you use a lot of beauty mods. It seems to be tailor-made to work perfectly with custom females.

This might not have much of a difference overall, but if you’re truly looking to see those beautiful hairs waving as you move… well you might want to give this one a go.

Not Enough Animations

Yes, this mod adds a feature that virtually every single Skyrim player has always wanted to see: moving your character towards the edges of the screen without losing sight of what you’re looking at.

This move tweaks the way movement works and allows you to have a better perspective of your character when playing in third person.

This is a very specific mod, as the creator states that it better suits battle mages or people who use a weapon in one hand and magic in the other.

They often feel separated when they shouldn’t. This mod fixes the issue vanilla has, along with improving very minor but noticeable differences.

It changes the way animations look when you cast a spell, making them much more natural and smoother than they are in the base game.

It’s such a huge difference that I really do believe it deserves this spot on my list. Just try it out and you’ll see what I mean.
