Hey everyone,
Let's be honest, the vanilla hugs in Skyrim are… bad. They're way too manly and look like some raw, unedited motion capture.
I just wanted to give Noemi (from OK Followers) a real, loving hug. So, I made one.
This is a completely SFW hug anim...

Hello everyone,
This week, I finished the moveset for the "bit more tactical MCO Dagger and Shield Animation." It looked sharp and clean in my 3D software, but I ran into a classic Skyrim problem when I tested it in-game.
The game engine massively speeds up dagger attacks, making the whole animation look like it's on fast-forward. It’s too fast to see the movements clearly, and it feels jerky and unsatisfying.
I'm not happy with how it turned out in-game, but I am...

Nu Xia (Dagger + Shield / Large Shield): all non-attack parts are done (locomotion etc.). I’m now building the attack animations.
I opened a separate adult Patreon and released my first OStim animations there. Details: (link to adult Patreon)

Thank you so much for your warm and continued support of my mod creation. It is entirely because of your support that I can pour my passion into creating MCO combat animations for Skyrim. I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart.
Today, I am writing to you all with an important announcement regarding my future activities, and to make a personal, more serious request.

To be upfront, due to recent changes in my life, I am facing...

Hi everyone, Kei here with your weekly update.
1. This Week's Progress & What's New
I'm happy to announce that I've finished the spear moveset, now officially named "A Bit More Tactical - For Honor Valkyrie - MCO spear Animation." It's available for you to try right now in our members-only Discord channel. 2025-10-09 14:00:34 +0000 UTC View Post
TL;DR
I released my first Skyrim MCO moveset, KEI’s Empty Gauntlet. It’s free for members. Roadmap is live.
KEI’s Empty Gauntlet (MCO) is out for members now.
“M’aiq thinks this: if the left hand is empty, the right deserves a reward.”
— M’aiq the Liar
An MCO moveset.
When you equip only a one-handed sword or only a dagger in your right hand—and keep your left hand completely empty—this mod replaces your idle, movement, light attacks, block, and related actions.
It will override the Centurion’s light attacks from F...

I just got back from Turkey. I visited Istanbul, Kuşadası, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Konya, and Ankara.
This was a personal trip paid with my own savings. I did not use Patreon funds for any travel costs.

Hey everyone—just a quick check-in. As I shared before, I’m traveling this week, so there’s no fresh progress.
But right before I left, I blocked out a small chunk of the attack set. I’m sharing a short clip here.
This is an indoor-focused attack motion.
So far it includes: left diagonal cut → thrust.
My current plan is to extend it like th...

Hey! If you’re reading this, I’m probably in Turkey like I said last week—assuming nothing exploded on the way. I worked right up until I had to leave the house, so here’s where things stand.
TL;DR
Locomotion is almost complete and playable in-game.
One rough edge: the forward-left diagonal transition looks a bit sluggish. I’ll polish that.
A locomotion HKX p...

New MCO moveset in production: Kyne’s Hilt & Horizon. Outdoor = big, sweeping, crowd-control swings. Indoor = tight, thrust-forward work that won’t snag on walls. Aiming for Valhalla Combat compatibility via proper annotations. Early rig fixes done; first idle/locomotion clips recorded. Travel break September 10–19, 2025.

Finished the base pipeline to bring MotionBuilder animations into Skyrim.
Works with AMR root motion and MCO.
Wrote a guide so you can make MCO animations from any DCC (Maya/MoBu/etc.).
No hard de...
TL;DR: I can now make animations in MotionBuilder and get them into Skyrim SE as AMR-ready (root motion works in-game). Hitboxes and combo windows aren’t wired yet, so attacks don’t deal damage yet—but I have a plan to fix that. This post is just progress + next steps. The deep technical guide for Maya/MotionBuilder animators will be a separate blog article.
↓Animate in MoBu
TL;DR
I’m teaming up with Pasquale (Albus961) and crew to build cinematic, HEMA-inspired swordplay on top of MCO. First milestone: a rock-solid MotionBuilder → FBX → HKX pipeline. Then a tiny Block/Deflect vertical slice that proves the feel—clear parries, satisfying clangs, readable rhythm. Simple version: one perfect clash that feels great and behaves consistently.
Add a touch of grace to the Female Locomotion Replacer set with elegant walk cycles—and an optional refined run.
Normal – balanced
Crossed – subt...

TL;DR:
The poll is closed—thank you for voting and sharing your thoughts.
I realized I already knew my next step: move to Skyrim. The poll still helped me learn what OBRE (Oblivion Remastered) players need.

Inspired by Better Idle Pose (Female Locomotion Patch), refined and expanded.
Reworks the female idle pose.
Fixes tail behavior for Argonians and Khajiit: no more stiff, straight-up tails—they now hang naturally.
I’ve set a simple mission for all my modding work: make it feel right.
Great in-game animation shouldn’t shout. If it feels natural, you barely notice it—because nothing feels wrong. That’s my guiding rule: if a choice makes the game feel right, I do it. It also saves time—clear rules cut hesitation.
I’ve covered the big piece...
I’ve now replaced the bulk of combat animations for Oblivion Remastered. Next, I’m weighing two directions for Skyrim:
• MCO-style combat animations — HEMA-ish, full weapon sets (core first, then niche weapons)
• 18+ animation set — OStim-friendly (core first, then niche/specialty variants)
I’m building a simple roadmap based on your votes. Please vote below and feel free to leave a comment with your reasoning. (Discord/DMs are welcome too.)
