📋 About This Mod
All plugins are flagged as ESL.
Can be easily done in SSEEdit, but not everyone is tech-savvy enough, so I'm sharing it. Now these new weapons will properly use katana animations instead of sword animations.
All dagger katanas have not been affected. I think they should use different moveset so I don't want to throw them into one bag with "regular" katanas. Two handed katanas also have not been changed, Animated Armoury does not support two handed katanas.
Some patches might contain different weapons like spears or staves.
Adds katana keyword to katanas from various mods, plus patches for non-katana mods like spears. Optional KID support. A compatibility patch for Skyrim modders, with 1,670 endorsements and 1.3M downloads, last updated August 2023.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 1,670 endorsements and 1.3M downloads.
- Essential for modded load orders to make katanas work with perks and animations.
- Regularly maintained (last updated August 2023).
⚠️ Cons
- Requires you to have the specific mods it patches — no standalone content.
- May not cover every katana mod out there, so check compatibility.
For Skyrim modders who use katana mods and want them to integrate with perks and animations. Also for spear mod users who need keyword patches. Skip if you don't use any of the patched mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original mods installed before adding these patches.
- If you use KID, grab the optional file and load it after your other mods.
- Check the mod page's posts for a list of supported mods if you're unsure.
