🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download and install—no load order tweaks needed for this simple mod.
Test in a city like Whiterun to see the effect immediately; your weapon should lower when you sheathe it or enter combat-free zones.
If you experience issues, check that no other mods are overriding weapon animations—this mod is lightweight but conflicts can occur.
