Fishing Rods are Rapiers - Animated Armoury
Support me on Patreon or Buy Me a Coffee
Description:
I felt it was weird to use a brittle stick as a sword so I quickly patched it to use Animated Armoury's rapier animation instead. Only keywords added, no change to stats. Provided in three versions:
- Vanilla: same stat as vanilla
- WACCF: Forwarded changes from WACCF patch for Fishing, load this mod after CC-Fishing_WACCF_Patch.esp
- Keyword Item Distributor: use KID system to distribute the keyword. Support both vanilla and WACCF. Support Injected Animated Armoury
This mod is also available in Keyword Patch Collection. If you already have that mod you don't need this mod
Compatibility:
This mod edits every record for fishing rod items so it will conflict with anything editing the identical records.
Requirement:
- Creation Club Fishing
- Animated Armoury (DAR or Non-DAR should work the same)
- Keyword Item Distributor for KID version
NickaNak for Animated Armoury
Bethesda for Fishing CC
powerofthree for Keyword Item Distributor (KID)
Tate Taylor for Automatic Animations - Including Icon Identification

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons

For Skyrim players who use CC Fishing and want a bit of flair in their animations. If you're a fan of Animated Armoury and enjoy mixing utility with style, this is a fun little add-on. Skip it if you don't care about fishing or prefer more substantial combat overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
