📋 About This Mod
A Simple 4 combo, light and Heavy Attack moveset for 1 handed Swords
Simple MCO Sword Moveset is a combat animation mod for Skyrim that replaces sword moves with a 4-combo light and heavy attack set, with the ability to chain between them. It adds two shield bash attacks when a shield is equipped, and requires Open Animation Replacer, Payload Interpolator, and MCO. With 298 endorsements and recent updates, it's a solid choice for MCO users seeking a straightforward moveset.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (298) and high downloads (7,632) show it's a trusted moveset in the MCO community.
- Shield bash integration adds fresh utility for sword-and-board players, with a stagger and a knockback follow-up.
- Light and heavy attacks chain into each other, giving combat a fluid, combo-friendly feel.
⚠️ Cons
- OAR only — if you're still on DAR, this mod won't work for you.
- Requires Payload Interpolator and MCO, so it's not a plug-and-play animation mod for casual users.
- Limited to sword movesets; if you want variety for other weapon types, this won't cover them.
For Skyrim players who use MCO and want a clean, functional sword moveset with a shield bash twist. It's great for melee-focused builds that want more combo depth without overhauling the whole combat system. Skip if you're not using MCO or prefer DAR-based animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have MCO and Payload Interpolator installed and up to date, or the animations won't trigger properly.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 to install this, and place it after other animation mods in your load order to avoid conflicts.
- Test the shield bash combo in a safe area first — the knockback can send enemies flying, which might be unexpected in tight dungeons.
