📋 About This Mod
This mod allows you to swap any great katana model for another one, for example, you can play with the Dragon-Hunter's Great Katana using the model of the Rakshasa's Great Katana. The changes are only visuals, there is not any gameplay changes.
I recommend that you use Anti-cheat toggler and offline launcher, you must be in offline mode to use this mod.
INSTALLATION
Install Mod Engine 2.
Select the katana you want to swap, and place the folder parts in to the mod folder of Mod Engine 2.
Start the game using launchmod_eldenring.bat, inside the Mod Engine 2 folder. You can make a shortcut if you want.
If you only want the scabbards removed, you can take a look at my other mod, Great Katanas No Scabbards. Or if you want to remove the scabbard of the Bastard Sword, Bastard Sword No Scabbard.
