💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod relies on DAR or MCO/SKYSA, make sure you have one of those frameworks installed and properly configured before adding the weapons.
  • Search the Nexus for 'twinblade animations' to find compatible movesets—look for ones that match the weapon type and your preferred combat style.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install the mod and keep track of any overwrites with other weapon mods.
