Nicos Twinblades SE
____________________
!!!!!IMPORTANT IMFORMATION!!!!!!
__________________________________
These models are designed to be used with animations made specifically for twinblades which are NOT included in this mod.

If you don't have any installed they will use the greatsword animations (which looks kinda off).
I personally use ADXP-MCO and DAR Animations from Black linked above
This mod has NOT been tested with SkySA.
If using Black's Animations linked above you can skip this as the conditions folder of his mod is already configured for this mod
In the data/ meshes/ actors/ character/ animations/ DynamicAnimationReplacer/ _CustomConditions find your animation folder for twinblades you've downloaded and installed, and open the _Conditions.txt file
Copy>Paste this in there:
IsEquippedRightType(5) AND
IsEquippedRightHasKeyword("Nicos Twinblades.esp" | 0x000800)
You can add an 'OR' after that if you have other twinblade mods installed with this one.
Handles will use whatever texture you have installed for Ebony.
Reason for this mod:
______________________
Recently I have been having fun with all of the combat animation mods being released.
I found some twinblade animations that I really liked but wanting something both unique and familiar for my weapondry.
Seeing as I have created some swords I use and enjoy The next step was to use those models I had made to create twinblade files for them in my game to use.
Figured I would release them for others top play with as well :)
What does this mod do:
_______________________
This mod is flagged as a light plug in and adds 3 new twinblades to the game.
Each can be found in locations around Tamriel as well as crafted at a forge with the Ebony smithing perk.
All can also be improved, and enchanted.
Where they are:
________________
Raven can be found in a run down shack outside Alftand on the table.
Thranduil can be found at Tumble Arch Pass giant camp being used to stir mammoth cheese.
Orcrist can be found across the water from Robber's Gorge at the stone ruins being guarded by a couple of sabre cats.
All have Ebony greatsword stats but are about half the weight as the greatsword.
Humus for the wonderful cubemap
Billyro for it's conversion for use in Skyrim.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Popular with the community – 1,528 endorsements show it's well-liked
- Nearly half a million downloads (497,986) – this mod has serious reach
- ESL-flagged means it won't eat up your plugin limit, which is a big plus for modded playthroughs
⚠️ Cons
- Requires a separate animations mod to work properly – the description links to it but doesn't explain how to install or set it up
- No details on where exactly the twinblades are located – you'll have to hunt for them without hints
- Last updated in 2022 – might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim updates or other mods
For Skyrim players who want flashy new weapon types and are willing to pair them with the required animation mod. If you're a melee enthusiast looking for unique twinblades to spice up your combat, this is for you. Skip if you don't want to bother with extra dependencies or prefer weapons that are easier to find.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to download and install the linked animations mod first, otherwise the twinblades won't have proper attack animations.
- Since the mod is ESL-flagged, it won't count against your 255 plugin limit, but you still need to activate it in your mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement – just download with the manager and enable both mods.
