Combined Installation Walkthrough (Dual Sheath Redux + Immersive Animations) by Slider6996: mn2J0m2a8kg

(Left video) Here is another one of my crappy rendered videos. I use HiAlgoBoost because my computer is an abacus. If it is unbearable, skip to 0:57 for a clearer picture and animation showcase. (Right video) Here is a showcase of some animations coming in V2. 0.

Here are a couple videos showcasing the one-handed/dual wielding animations. The first video is very dark because I suck at rendering. The second video was made by DarkAngel13.

To install: First, backup your Skyrim/data/actors/character/animations folder just in case you do not like these animations (particularly if you're installing manually). Then, use Nexus Mod Manager to install, or copy the meshes folder into the Skyrim/data folder and overwrite when prompted. To uninstall, remove the .hkx files from the meshes/actors/character/animations folder. Use the zip file you downloaded as a guideline.

FAQ and common complaints:
My weapon sheaths are not in the right position!
You need to explore the XPMS file page and find the appropriate XPMS version for you. There are several versions for different weapons sheath positions. Just read the descriptions and pick the version that best suits your desires.
My character does not block while running!
That is a problem with XPMS. If you're not using FNIS, you need to download the magic-shield arm patch from the XPMS file page and install it. If you are using FNIS, you need to check the skeleton arm fix patch before running Generate FNIS for Users.
My left handed weapon is wielded backwards!
