I am wondering if this is the best bet, or if there is a better animation replacer for walk/run.

Thanks in advance.

I would not say, there is the best replacer at all. It is upon you to decide, which one you like the most, concerning your likes/dislikes. But overly, this is a quality replacer.

I would not say there's much choice at all. Go for it!

It's the one I use. Animations are smooth and look great.

Check http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1071872-animation-mod-list/page__hl__animation for all your other animation needs.

Awesome, I will install it now and try it out, and I will most definitely check that thread for any future animation questions.
Mods can close this now.
