I do have a question, very much out of interest: I have noticed that most weapon modders do not match the weapon's inventory icon to its in-game looks. I am surmising this is a rather difficult or time consuming process? It would - at least in my opinion - complete the illusion; I am currently wearing a weapon that looks differently on my character than it does in my inventory. I should like to stress this is not a request to change the icon, nor a hint at one. I am asking out of interest.
Thanks again!
Edit: I suppose this is exactly the right time to wish people a happy new year! :D
The icon textures are kept in a file that also includes a bunch of other textures for similar weapons. E.g. all the medium shields are kept in the same one image file. So, relacing one sword necessitates changing the file for all of the swords. So, you can basically only switch one model at a time, unless the person downloading the mod is willing to download the tools needed to unpack the files, go in and manually replace the icon, and repack everything. So, it's more of a compatibility thing to my knowledge. If there is a better way, I'm not aware of it, though I expect if it existed everyone would use it. If you want to do it yourself, all the tools are freely available to download, and there are tutorials on Youtube. Would probably take you 10 minutes if you already know how to do it, or 30 to an hour if you're just learning for the first time.
The curved black and silver with the big pommel version is absolutely gorgeous, and fits in so damn well with my Knight Hospitaller surcoat. Thank you so much for making this, it is absolutely incredible!
Awesome mod, you made it historical! Is there a way to make the player hold it in a different way while twohanding it? Over the shoulder, maybe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KL1KoKv3Uc Also, how is the sword in the back??

It would be very helpful if you could provide csvs so people can add the change to scabbard position to their own regulation.bins, please.
For those needing it:In Smithbox, go to EquipParamWeapon
Find Milady in the Rows box
In Fields, look for Weapon Sheath Position ID
Change it to 23.
