Skyrim SE Mods For Casting Magic Whilst Moving Sideways During Combat (Third Person)
I have been scouring the internet looking for any mods or suggestions to help the issue i have ran across in my modded Skyrim SE, which is:
Whenever I am in third person during combat and I am jogging sideways while trying to cast a spell at the same time (as to be harder to hit and not stationary/just moving backwards), my character will point the animation in the direction I am moving, but the spell will following the cursor, which is aimed at the enemy, so it will do this weird animation where my character will be moving sideways and pointing his hands sideways, but the stream of magic will be going at the enemy, which is directly in front of my character.

It is extremely awkward looking and just weird, since my stream of fire is literally coming out of the side of my hands and hitting the enemy, yet my character is just facing towards his right, arms outstretched at the wall. The ONLY fix I have seen is that of just pushing CAPS LOCK and forcing my character to walk extremely slowly during combat, which just forces me to dodge constantly against many different foes to simply move my character. Is there some sort of mod that just makes it so my character can still walk normally during combat, only he faces wherever my cursor is, so that his legs r moving sideways and his upper body is conjuring magic wherever the cursor is placed. Maybe there could be a mod that just makes it so when you push caps lock during combat, your character just moves the same speed as if you hadn't pushed it? It is such a silly issue, but takes away from my enjoyment in third person. All help is appreciated!!!

Weird, I've never seen this happen, my character always faces the direction of the camera during combat. Do you have any animation or combat mods? I believe there are some mods that cause what you are experiencing. I believe it's an animation re-placer or a combat mod that is causing your problem.

Yea you're right! I figured it out shortly after my previous comment and forgot to follow up. Magic Casting Animations Overhaul was the culprit. It had animations that changed the way your character moves left or right while casting spells. I just went ahead and uninstalled.
