📋 About This Mod
I wouldn't download this one, I have a better version here Animated Armoury Custom ESP options (Weapons removed etc) at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community
All I did was use xedit to get rid of everything claw and whip related. For the leveled items stuff since I couldn't figure out how to just remove specific stuff I just changed the level to 233, I'm assuming this means either only enemies that level will have them or you have to be that level to find them, either way if either of those assumptions is right it shouldn't be a problem. I also adjusted the reach and speed of some weapons, for me the quarter staff and pike animations were way too fast, and pretty much all weapons had way too long of a reach so both things were lowered across the board. This does not fix the oddly large width of the reach unfortunately, I don't know too much about this stuff but if I can figure that out, I will update this to include a width range fix.
NOTE, I have not done extensive testing, just spawned in some of the weapons, and spawned in a bunch of bandits, they weren't using invisible weapons or running around bare fisted and all the weapons I tested worked, so I'm assuming this works but can't say 100 percent. Please let me know if you notice any problems, or if you want other versions with more stuff removed maybe. Also, if you know more than me and notice that I have somehow messed up something that'll cause problems, let me know so I can fix them, I'm pretty new to this
I mainly made this because I use skysa so not all the weapons work and I was having issues with the speed and reach. Also, I don't like the whips or claws. the animations I use are these (also I'm making a collection, so I wanted this to be a more automatic process)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download count (42k) shows plenty of people grabbed it

- Open permissions mean the community can pick up where this left off
⚠️ Cons
- Outdated—last updated in 2022 and the author points to a newer version
- Requires Animated Armoury as a base, so it's not standalone
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter weapon animations or stats
For Skyrim players who like Animated Armoury's weapon animations but want to ditch claws and whips. Also for those who prefer tweaked speed and reach values. Skip if you're fine with the full Animated Armoury or want the latest version.
💡 Beginner Tips

- Place this ESP after Animated Armoury in your load order so it overwrites correctly.
- Since it's outdated, check the linked newer version for better compatibility with current mods.
