📋 About This Mod

A Simple 4 combo, light and Heavy Attack moveset for 1 handed Swords

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

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

Adds a simple 4 combo Light and Heavy move set for swords.
Light and Heavy Attacks can combo into each other.
Last two heavy attacks have a slight damage bonus.
Adds 2 shield bashes when a shield is equipped in the left hand: a light stagger bash and a rush attack that knocks enemies flying.
Original moveset (without shield attacks) is still available for one-handed with empty left hand.
OAR only, not compatible with DAR.

📊 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.
🎯 Is This For You?
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.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 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.
