Compatibility
Not compatible with the DAR version of Animated Armoury, either use
that or tick the DAR option in this versions MCM menu if you want DAR support
Note About FNIS PCEA2
In 1. 4 I fixed an issue when using this mod along with PCEA2, you have to tick a button in the MCM menu for this fix to work
it's not a perfect fix but it'll do, what it does is after you unequip a
Weapon from this mod, it will then refresh your PECA2 Anims, as if you
pressed the button in PECA2's MCM menu
If you don't want to use Nemesis, I do have a non Nemesis first person addon in the files
DAR Support has been added you need to enable it in the MCM menu, whips are not supported by DAR due not being able to adjust animation events with DAR, There are text files in the archive that explain which DAR folder is linked to what weapon, I'll also include this info in the FAQ. THIS IS NOT THE Full DAR VERSION, THIS VERSION HAS PARTIAL DAR SUPPORT FOR SOME WEAPONS
If you want to use Animated Armoury's Nemesis first person stuff you need to tick Animated Armoury FPA patch when generating your behaviour with Nemesis
The non Nemesis first person addon has built in support for the following mods, True Spear Combat, Skyrim Spear Mechanic, Archery Gameplay
Animated Armoury adds new weapons to Skyrim with custom attack animations for both the player and NPCs. This SSE version is no longer being worked on, but remains popular with over 8,600 endorsements. Requires FNIS or Nemesis to function.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (8,683 endorsements)
- Massive download count (591k) shows real demand
- Adds fresh combat feel with custom animations
⚠️ Cons
- No longer updated since May 2020 — may have issues with current Skyrim SE versions
- Requires FNIS or Nemesis setup, which can be finicky for new modders
For Skyrim players who want to spice up combat with new weapons and unique animations. Perfect if you're already using FNIS or Nemesis and want more variety. Skip if you prefer vanilla combat or don't want to deal with animation mod dependencies.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to run FNIS or Nemesis after installing to generate the new animations, or the weapons won't animate correctly.
- Check the mod's posts section for compatibility notes with other animation mods — load order matters.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement, but you'll still need to run the animation tool manually.
