📋 About This Mod
Hello Everybody,
Great News
My three other mods named Spears - Skills & Perks Tree and Throwing Weapons - Skill and Perks Tree and Halberds - Skills and Perks Tree are now fully working, so please don't hesitate to give them a try.These two mods are part of a series of mods i'm working on, which will add Skill trees and perks for new weapon types. The first one i released is themed around Spears, and adds a new skill tree for them along with a dozen of new perks. The second one is about Throwing weapons, and the third one is about Halberds. This series will integrate compatibility patches for True Spear Combat, Skyrim Spear Mechanic and Animated Armoury - New Weapons with third person animations. as well as other mods.-----------------------------------

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,045 endorsements and 178k downloads.
- Covers a whole weapon class—spears, tridents, halberds, javelins—so you get a lot of variety in one mod.
- Works for both you and NPCs, so enemies and followers look just as good with polearms.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires FNIS or Nemesis, which adds setup steps and potential conflicts with other animation mods.
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods.
- If you're not using a mod manager, getting FNIS/Nemesis set up correctly can be a pain.
For Skyrim players who want to make spears and polearms feel more dynamic and immersive, especially if you're doing a spear-focused build. Also great for modders who want NPCs to use these weapons with proper animations. Skip if you're not interested in animation overhauls or don't want to deal with FNIS/Nemesis.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Run FNIS or Nemesis after installing to generate the new animations, otherwise they won't show up in-game.
- If you use other animation mods, make sure to run the patch tool (FNIS or Nemesis) every time you add or remove animation mods to keep everything working.
- Check your load order—this mod should be loaded after other animation overhauls to avoid conflicts.
