Swords On Hip When Cloaked
First off, I'd like to express my gratitude to menschfeind13 for Swords on the Hip (aka Carry Your weapons as You Want). I've been using it since I've started my The Witcher 3 playthrough along with TheRealArdCarraigh's Hoods mod. While using both (along with Accessory Slot Mod by eNoodles), I often notice myself roleplaying and removing the cloak/cape from Geralt from time to time, but wished that the vanilla placement would return when the cloaks/capes aren't in use. There wasn't anything on the Nexus like this yet (closest thing to it was Auto Hide Weapons for Cloaks, but I wanted the weapons to show up still) so I went and learned witcher script to edit Swords on the Hip's .ws file.

Installation
- Install cloak/cape mods like Hoods by TheRealArdCarraigh. (Also works with mods that are supported by Auto Hide Weapons for Cloaks)
- Install Swords on the Hip (aka Carry Your weapons as You Want) by menschfeind13.
- (Optional) Install More Presets for Swords on the Hip by lufusol for more placement options. Highly recommended to quickly setup weapons on hip placement with capes/cloaks!
- Install this mod via Manual Install or Vortex:
a. Vortex Install:
i. Download Version "A" using Mod Manager.
ii. Ensure Swords On Hip When Cloaked takes priority OVER Swords on the Hip in the load order.
b. Manual Install:
i. Download Version "B" manually.
ii. Drag and drop the Mods folder from the archive into your Witcher 3 root folder.
iii. Accept any prompts for overwrites. - Run Witcher Script Merger.
IMPORTANT:
IF YOU ARE USING VORTEX INSTALL:
DO NOT MERGE modSwordsOnHIpWhenCloaked and modWeaponsCarrying.
SET modSwordsOnHipWhenCloaked PRIORITY OVER modWeaponsCarrying ONLY! - Update filelist.txt in <The Witcher 3 Root>/bin/config/r4game/user_config_matrix/pc/. Using Menu Filelist Updater is by far the easiest way to do this. (This ensures the mod menu will show up in the in-game settings.
- Start the game and in the Main Menu, go to Mods then activate Swords on the Hip by going through "Weapons Carrying" and using the following settings (feel free to try different settings but these are the ones I use to achieve the look in the images):
a. Main -> Disable Mod: OFF
b. Swords -> Main -> Select ON BODY preset -> Enable Changes: ON -> Auto Put Swords On Roach Upon Mounting: ON
c. Swords -> Steel on Roach Pos. -> Select KILLING MONSTERS preset -> Enable Changes: ON
d. Swords -> Steel on Body Pos. -> Select CLOAKED preset (from More Presets mod) -> Enable Changes: ON
e. Swords -> Silver on Roach Pos. -> Select KILLING MONSTERS preset -> Enable Changes: ON
f. Swords -> Silver on Body Pos. -> Select CLOAKED preset (from More Presets mod) -> Enable Changes: ON
g. Crossbow -> Main -> Select ON BODY preset -> Enable Changes: ON -> Auto Put CrossBow On Roach Upon Mounting: ON
h. Crossbow -> Crossbow on Roach Pos. -> Select BACK LEFT preset -> Enable Changes: ON
i. Crossbow -> Crossbow on Body Pos. -> Select CLOAKED (R. HIP) preset (from More Presets mod) -> Enable Changes: ON - Load your save file and enjoy!
Known Issues
Massive FPS hit when crossbow is unequipped while wearing a cloak/cape (working on a fix as of 11/22)Fixed in v1.1!"Shimmering/Blurriness" on weapons when unequipping Cloak/Cape.Fixed in v1.2!
Disclaimer
I’ve only ever tested this on Next Gen as that is the version I’m currently playing on. Other items that can be equipped in the accessory slot that has the substring “Cloak” or “Cape” in it will also be considered for activation by this mod. This is also my first mod for The Witcher 3 and I believe there’s a better implementation of the tweaks on the code. Feel free to suggest some tweaks or added features in the comments on how to improve the mod - I’d appreciate the guidance!
