📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 877 endorsements and 290k downloads.
- Adds meaningful VR interactivity without breaking immersion.
- Simple concept that fills a real gap in Skyrim VR's default controls.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not work with the latest Skyrim VR updates or mods.

- No detailed instructions in the description, so you'll need to know your way around VR modding.
For Skyrim VR players who want more natural weapon handling and already use HIGGs and VRIK. If you're new to VR modding or prefer minimal setup, this might be a hassle. Skip if you're playing on flatrim — this is VR-only.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the latest versions of HIGGs and VRIK installed first, as this mod depends on them.
- Assign the swap spells to VRIK gestures in the VRIK MCM to get the full functionality.
- Test the drop and equip features in a safe area before heading into combat to avoid accidental weapon drops.
