Description


This collection converts the legendary Ultimate NPC Attack Variety Guide animations from DAR to Open Animation Replacer, complete with optimized conditions via Object Categorization Framework.


Every moveset is carefully categorized and assigned through a clean FOMOD installer, no manual file juggling required.


What This Mod Does

  1. OAR Conversion — All animations converted from DAR for better performance, easier debugging, and modern compatibility.
  2. Smart Conditions — OCF integration dynamically adapts to your load order, custom weapons work out of the box.
  3. Racial Distinction — Redguards with scimitars move differently than Nords with the same weapon. Every race feels unique.
  4. Clean Architecture — Refactored priority system (5000–47000) eliminates conflicts and redundancy.
  5. Debug-Friendly — OAR's visual condition editor lets you tweak anything without hex editing.


TLDR: This mod streamlines, enhances, and optimizes animations while keeping your Skyrim experience immersive and alive.
