✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 947 endorsements and 39k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Simple, focused fix that solves a common visual annoyance without bloat.
- Actively maintained (last updated October 2024), so it's likely compatible with current setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects long arms on horseback—if you wanted broader holstering tweaks, this won't cover them.
- May conflict with other mods that alter weapon visibility or horse behavior.
- No detailed description of installation or compatibility, so you might need to test with your load order.
For Skyrim players who hate seeing their bow or staff vanish when they mount up—this keeps your gear visible for screenshots and immersion. Also great for roleplayers who want their character to always look ready. Skip if you don't care about weapon visibility or use mods that already handle holstering.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this as a regular mod and let it overwrite if prompted.
- Check your load order to ensure no other mods alter horse or weapon behavior—place this after them if needed.
- Test on a save with a horse and a long arm equipped to see the effect immediately.
