📋 About This Mod
Fix for missing draw and sheathe sounds when using 1st person sword on back animations. It was super annoying that first person sword equip animations like in XPMSE and other mods had no sound.
XP32 or Weapons on back mod highly recomended (otherwise this mod is pointless)

If you were using version 1. 0 (scripted version of the fix) remove that version completely, it's no longer needed since I figured out how to do it without any scripting. I am keeping the old version up for posterity and in case the scripts are ever useful for something else. Def use the animation only replacer version though.
