Compatibility
Combat Gameplay Overhaul + is sort of semi incompatible with Animated Armoury, you wont get crashes or nasty issues, but even with the Nemesis version the animations may not play correctly or have incorrect timings on the attacks and swings, some animations don't even play
SkySa as far as I know is not compatible as no animations haven't been made
The DAR folders in use by this mod are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 29, 30, 31 and 32 There is an included txt file explaining which folder is what, You can switch these around how ever you want just read the text file before hand
