DAR recommended combat animations and set up, compatiblity? Your set ups?

[Swanky]

So being the big dumdum that I am I successfully crashed my other toon by mindlessly updating dyndolod. However, this also gives me the opportunity to check some other areas that I have neglected for some time, and that is Skyrim's woefully stale combat animations.

I have SL, Creatures, FNIS and Nemesis set up and working (thanks to the talented and patient people on LL! - that set up guide was god's work in that regard),

and I'm using different DAR related mods already - Movement Overhaul and Jump Behavior. Currently using Ultimate Combat, TK Dodge and Mystic Knight for combat mods and animations which still heavily adheres to the vanilla combat difficulty curve and mechanics (also for the sake of sl defeat).

However, I keep running over SkySA Combat Behavior Compulsion. Looks pretty nifty but it doesn't give any explanations on installation, set up and compatibility.

Leaves me a bit stumped - I'm mostly a 1st person player but occasionally I switch to 3rd. Is that mod recommended or not? What set ups are you using - are those changing the vanilla combat experience and if so in what regard?

[Just Don't]

This is my non LL anim mods. Starting with Nemesis, some vanilla anim replacers and then plenty of DAR specific things. I'm sure there are some minor clashes between the mods I'm using here, but I haven't seen anything out of place in game. For combat I use Blade and Blunt with Stamina Matters and Incremental Injuries for added flavor, but mechanically it's still very close to vanilla.

Hey, thanks for that list. I went through the mods and in fact there are some that I should use as well. Regarding the DAR files, this file is set to hidden...

Maybe it's an old file. There are multiple mods from that author about smoothness in different situations. I think that system was incorporated in this mod. I should go over my mods and fix that... yeah.

A must have mod for DAR is the animation limit increase mod

[imai8312]

I reccomend DAR - Live Action (random aroused idles, tons of fun stuff, and you can add or customize different conditional movement animations from Leviathan, Vanargand, etc. . Other than that SkySA is great with either JH Combat and/or Elder Souls Collection. For a guide on installing SkySA lookup Mern channel on YT.
