📋 About This Mod
Introduction
It was too big to be called a sword. Massive, thick, heavy, and far too rough. Indeed, it was a heap of raw iron.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 526 endorsements and over 12k downloads
- Adds weight and stabs to greatswords, making combat feel more visceral
- Lightweight animation mod that doesn't require a full combat overhaul
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2022 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other animation mods
- Requires kNVSE, which adds an extra dependency and setup step
For Skyrim players who want their greatswords to feel heavier and more impactful without overhauling the entire combat system. If you're a melee-focused character and enjoy animation mods that add flair, this is for you. Skip if you prefer vanilla animations or don't want to mess with kNVSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have kNVSE installed and properly configured before adding this mod, as it's required for the animations to work.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install the mod and manage load order, especially if you have other animation mods.
- Test the animations in third-person view to see the full effect, as first-person may not show all the new moves.
