Description
Finger Snap is a cast animation replacer, you can choose to replace the animation for on touch spells, on self and/or on target spells. Instead of the default animation you'll snap your fingers. This also replaces the animation for NPCs.

The right handed animations, played when only a shield or torch are equipped, are not replaced.


Install
This archive is distributed in what lhammonds calls OMOD-Ready format. It allows you to manually extract and install like most other mods but it also allows you to use Oblivion Mod Manager and import this archive with all the settings pre-configured for an OMOD file. Pick which method you are going to use for installation:
