📋 About This Mod
I've been a fan of NickaNak's Animated Armoury for a long time, but always wished I could use the weapons in 1st person without being forced to revert to the vanilla swinging attacks. Since not many people seemed to dabble in 1st person animations, I decided to take a crack at it myself. This mod is the result of that.

The rapier animation jab sometimes has a small delay when going from the first to second jab animation. I'm not sure how to fix this...

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 473 endorsements and 20k+ downloads.
- Gives battleaxes and swords a fresh, distinct feel in first-person.
- Simple replacer concept—no complex setup or extra scripts.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, it will overwrite the default animations—make sure to back up your original files if you want to revert.
- Check if your game version is compatible with mods from 2020; if you're on a newer patch, test it early to avoid crashes.
- Use a mod manager to easily enable/disable the mod without manual file swapping.
