with having to alternately press the right and left mouse for every swing.
The animation from the linked mod from Orakin2020 does not need to have right and left mouse buttons pressed alternately or even at the same time, if that was, what you meant. As the description page of the mod itself and my own gaming experience with it says, it is a replacer for the left-hand forward power attack and even works, when only 1 weapon is equipped, namely in the left-hand. The name of the mod is derived from the way how the animation looks like. It just looks like an attack chain with both hands, but it is just a left-hand forward power attack with several hits (4 with axe/sword, 5 with dagger iirc).
Animation replacer for the left hand attack power forward. Source: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/103320
I'm using MO2 and it says the data looks invalid. I tried setting "03 dual wield" as directory but the problem was still there. Help would be much appreciated.
late reply but I just noticed that at the time when I made this comment I completely ignored the installation instructions. Instead of putting the files in my nemesis PCEA directory I installed it through the mod manager, which is why it didn't work.
When I press left, it swings each weapon after one another, if I press right, it only swings the left weapon. I am using dual wield blocking mod and put the block key on caps. So I guess there is no benefit to adding these animations, spamming power attacks aside? Which I can do if I hold down and move forward - I have two different forward power attacks attached to the left and right mouse button.
when you wield two one handed weapons you need to press the left mouse key/button to attack with the left hand. if you have a weapon equipped to it, the same goes for the right hand. which is the Default hand, this slight mod eliminates the need to pressing each keys/buttons after each swing of the other. by pressing a single mouse button/key. causing your character to perform the said power attack as a normal attack animation. the whole purpose of this mod. is to eliminate that rather tedious method especially to people who has a problem when pressing the left mouse button. since the vanilla left hand attack animations when dual wielding tends to be sometimes slow or delayed. although this mod does not entirely eliminate the left hand attack animations when using this mod. this mod is just a convenient way of performing a dual wield attack as a normal attack.
