Outdated mod and the future (2025-04-06)
Heavy armory has been updated several times since I made this mod and many of the features of this mod are already included. Some features of this mod will be ported to other mods and done in a way so that they are less dependent on the versions of the mods this mod depends mod. I am currently trying to implement as many features I can as synthesis patchers. Check the posts section for updates.

]Install this mod using a mod manager - If you are using XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended - XPMSSE, move the sword sheath to the back since the spears from Skyrim Spear Mechanic uses the sword sheath if XMPSSE is used. The option to move the sword sheath is in XPMSSE's MCM menu.
The weapons from Heavy Armory, Skyrim Spear Mechanic and Animated Armoury will be patched and tweaked to work seamlessly together and SkyUI Weapons Pack SE allows for the new weapon types to show up in the user interface. The perk descriptions in the menus will be optionally altered to fit with the new weapon types. Perk descriptions are available for vanilla Skyrim, WACCF and Adamant, Vokrii and Ordinator. The categories used in these descriptions and all weapon types are as follows:
