📋 About This Mod
Manually added katanas to the correct file from "First Person Combat Animations Overhaul 2. 0 -SIZE MATTERS" after getting inspired by the first patch provided by LunarSummit: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/45296?tab=description
I've included all katana, nodachi, wakizashi, ninjato, and unique weapons that remotely looked like a katana except tantos because I thought they fit the dagger animations more. The following mods are included:
- Armoury of Tamriel
- Legacy of the Dragonborn
- Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered
- Immersive Weapons
- Insanity's Sorrow Celtic Katanas
- InsanitySorrow Weapons Pack
- Katana Crafting
- Jaysus Swords
- And whatever was already included in the file from the original mod!
Credits go to ShoryukenBruh for the original FPCAO mod and LunarSummit for inspiring me to do this in the first place.
Let me know if I missed anything, I might add whatever's missing!
