Hey, so I was getting annoyed after having to see my bow appear out of nowhere and my sword(s) disappearing and vice versa. Ruins my immersion badly. Dual Sheath Redux alone shows only one of my swords while wielding another 2H-weapon, and I could make neither Equipment Overhaul nor Armed to the Teeth remedy that so I tried to figure something out on my own. My approach is very hacky as I couldn't find a way to just use vanilla meshes for the life of me.

This is my first mod and my first time using CK, TES5Edit and Papyrus/SKSE, and just yesterday I had absolutely no clue what I'm doing. Naturally the script isn't perfect, but I've played with it and it works at least for my needs, which is dual sheath + Bow/Greatsword. If anyone wants to take a look at the source code and educate me a bit, I'd be very happy. I might add support for back-sheathed weapons when I can be bothered to look into that, but for now it only works with swords sheathed on the hip

Anyway, installation is simple, Just unpack with whatever tool you manage your mods and make sure you have a working setup of Dual Sheath Redux that does not use the biped slot 54. (Default is 60, you should usually be good.)

The mod adds a crafting recipe for tanning racks to create a "Pair of weapon sheaths". Once you have it in your inventory, it should equip itself automagically upon unsheathing and sheathing your swords. If it bugs out for some reason, sheathing and unsheathing should usually fix the issue, alternatively swapping to a 2-handed weapon and back again.

My script relies on the meshes shipped with Dual Sheath Redux, so if you have custom non-vanilla weapons, try your luck with either A Lot of Dual Sheath Redux Patches or the guide provided in the download section of Dual Sheath Redux to create your own customized mesh. The .nif file you'll create HAS to end with *Somefilename*Left.nif, as all the left hand meshes do.

The mod will be incompatible with Equipment Overhaul and Armed to the Teeth and any mod that uses the biped slot 54. If you happen to have such a mod, you can easily change my esp with TES5edit so that it uses another slot. There's only 4 items, you'll know which to edit. Or just ask me :)
If you're switching from EO or AttT, CLEAN YOUR SAVE! Weird stuff is going to happen if you don't.

I've ran into some minor glitches myself and again, I'm very new to this, so I'll glady take advice or just feature requests.

Thanks to Neovalen for his mod and especially for the unified filename identifiers <3!
