📋 About This Mod

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MODS Introduction:

I used MCO's sword animation. I thought it was very real, but now it is too inflexible. It's a little slow and uncomfortable. So I made this

One of the basic animation package series I plan to release. What is the basic animation package? It is the most basic animation used to cover up all weapon types, including the armory. I plan to make 20 different weapon animations as the foundation

It can be converted to skysa version, but I don't recommend you to do so, because the fluency will be very different

Use with Elden rim:

If you use it with Elden rim of 1. 94, you will get the strike fly effect (some people have CTD on 1. 94. Don't worry. We found the problem and will fix it on 1. 98)
