📋 About This Mod

More Presets for Swords on the Hip adds several new presets for both swords and the crossbow to be worn on Geralt's body. They are designed to fit well with capes, cloaks, katanas with samurai-style armours, and for mixing different types

THIS 'MOD' REQUIRES SWORDS ON THE HIP TO ALREADY BE INSTALLED.  Do you like to play dress-up with Geralt?  Are you tired of manually tweaking a bunch of coordinates in Swords on the Hip, each time you change Geralt's equipment?  I know I was, so I designed, tested and refined several new presets for better immersion and ease of use.

Now you can quickly fit your weapons to certain armor and accessories, and switch them as often as you like without tedious manual editing.

INSTALLATION:

1. First install SotH by menschfeind13!  It's an excellent mod for customization, but my presets expand your options and ease of use!

2. Unpack my archive to your Witcher 3 installation directory, overwrite existing files (there should be exactly 17 files overwritten).

In addition to the original (unchanged) presets included with Swords on the Hip (aka Carry Your weapons as You Want) by menschfeind13, the following new presets have been added by me:

for Steel & Silver swords:

"caped" - diagonally mounted left side, mostly avoids clipping the NPC cape.

"cloaked" - vertically mounted left side, minimally clips the KM cloak, with some compromises

"samurai" - curved over and horizontally balanced on the left side

"samurai_swapped" same, but with steel on the inside, silver on the outside (see pics)

"exotic" - unique hybrid mounting, looks super cool and works really well for any two dissimilar blades (e.g. 1 straight, 1 curved)

for Crossbow:

"caped" - left-side crossbow hung from the belt is flipped around for a tight fit to match swords also using the "caped" presets

"cloaked" - strapped to Geralt's right hip/leg, this has the tightest fit to the body AND animates smoothly

"samurai" - strapped to Geralt's left thigh, it makes the most sense with Kensei armors (Samurai Attire DLC)

- and a comically absurd bonus setting, if you can figure out how to access it WHICH HAS NOW BEEN UNHIDDEN IN v1. 2 ;)

Caped - designed around the NPC Cape from the Hoods mod.  It also works (slightly less well) with the grey and brown "cloaks" (basically capes) from More Robes, which are a tad wider than NPC Cape. And then there is the !@#$%^& Crach cape (Hoods again), the widest of all capes, it's simply impossible to avoid clipping, but if the wind blows in your favor (or you just keep moving forward), this setting is still your best bet.  To fit with the swords, the "Caped" crossbow has been flipped around completely, trigger-side facing out, handle between the swords and body, and slightly rotated to avoid poking through the cape.

Cloaked - designed around the KM Cloak (Hoods), particularly when wearing heavy "dress" style armor (e.g. ursine).  Works j
