📋 About This Mod
Simply a port of my recent-ish plugin from original Skyrim. Enjoy!
Original Non-SE Version (1. 0. 0)

Additional Information
Changes all vanilla "Disarm" type MagicEffects to "Stagger" type instead.
An attached lightweight script then simply unequips the target's weapon(s) and/or shield.
NPCs usually re-equip the "disarmed" weapons after the stagger, but sometimes they switch it up.
Compatibility
Should be compatible with anything that doesn't also mess with vanilla Disarm MGEFs.
However, any mods that add Disarm effects will need to be patched to reflect these changes.
Uninstall Steps
Simply remove the plugin as normal; no save cleaning necessary.

No Disarm's unequip was directly inspired by Wildcat's arm injury "disarm" functionality.
However, I noticed Wildcat did not affect vanilla Disarms, so I made this plugin.
Also, Wildcat is dope.
No Disarm (Unequip Instead) is a gameplay mod that replaces weapon disarms with a simple unequip, so you never have to search for your dropped weapon again. It's for players who find the disarm mechanic annoying and want a quality-of-life fix.
