📋 About This Mod
INTRODUCTION
I recently made some new animations for my other mod Weapon Styles - Draw/Sheathe Animations for IED and decided to share them for the folks that use the Style Fitting Animations from XPMSSE. The mod also contains the staff animations and the Dual Wield Draw animation fix from Extra Drawing Animations.
REQUIREMENTS
- XPMSSE: With Style Fitting Animations, either via FNIS or Nemesis.
- Open Animation Replacer: To properly replace some shield animations and some dual wield animations.
Mace and Shield
Axe and Shield
Dagger and Shield
Mace and Sword/Dagger
Axe and Sword/Dagger
Sword/Dagger and Mace
Sword/Dagger and Axe
Sword Dual Wield - Both on Left Hip
Maybe not really realistic, but I thought it was cool, requires Dual Wielding Unlocker to properly work. Enable it in the OAR menu.
INCOMPATIBILITY
Not compatible with other mods that changes equip/unequip animations, such as:
- Weapon Styles - Draw/Sheathe Animations for IED
Or any other similar mod.
Special thanks to NickaNak, for the mod Extra Drawing Animations, from which I took the staff animations and the Dual Wield draw animation fix.

For Skyrim players who want more variety in equip/unequip animations, especially those using XPMSSE Style Fitting Animations. If you're into immersion and weapon-specific details, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for full animation overhauls or don't use XPMSSE.
💡 Beginner Tips
