📋 About This Mod
With all of our advancements in modding Skyrim, it seems there is one weapon type that has been left out. The Scimitar was even neglected by its creator, with no recipe and even an error in its value. Five gold? When weapons of the same caliber are worth forty-five.
This mod aims to show the Scimitar and other Curved Swords the attention they deserve.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 529 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads
- ESL-flagged plugins keep your load order clean and don't eat up slots
- Dual Sheath meshes mean your scimitars look right when sheathed on your back
⚠️ Cons
- Requires ADXP I MCO or BFCO for the animations, so if you're not running those frameworks, you miss out on a big chunk of the mod
- Only touches keywords and meshes—don't expect new weapon models or stats here
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter weapon keywords or animations, so you'll need to check your load order
For Skyrim players who love curved swords and want them to work with modern animation frameworks like MCO or BFCO. Also great if you use Dual Sheath Redux and want proper scabbard placement. Skip if you're looking for new weapon models or gameplay overhauls—this is a compatibility and animation patch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have either ADXP I MCO or BFCO installed before adding this mod, or the animations won't work.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 to install and let it handle the ESL flags—don't manually merge plugins.
- If you use other weapon keyword mods, put this one lower in your load order to avoid conflicts.
