Yeah, that would be a good start, I use that mod myself and I love what it does for the one-handed short spears that were modded in, looks pretty cool with swords too (although axes suffer but I don't use them much anyway although I am sure many do) and yeah Immersive animations is another gem, I just hope a talented animator can pick this up, it would add a whole new kind of combat to the game.

To start off I know new animations can only replace current one's and that as of now there has not been a way to implement standalone animations through the creation kit. I also know that many do not care much for spears as a weapon and that's cool but many mods cater to a minority so hear me out. Recently I E-mailed Bethesda asking them if they could release spears and their animations as a patch or download (like the High-Def tex pack) seem as they would not be making anymore DLC for Skyrim (a mistake in my opinion but their choice) They replied with some legal banter about it belonging to Bethesda and so forth so I left it at that, no harm in asking right? Now seem as a weapon motion must first be replaced by a new one, in this case spears, I was wondering if anyone out there has considered making full, smooth looking spear anims (or is currently doing so) I know there are a few out there that change the odd power attack but what I'm asking for is a complete set that yes has to overwrite others but can be turned off easily enough through the mod manager. Another note is lore, Spears should always have been in Skyrim, Norse culture utilized spears for Boar hunting and EVERY culture did so for warfare. Skyrim isn't about viking raiders with longboats sacking towns, it's about their homeland, their culture and of course their standing armies. Forgive me for the long post but little details are what gets me into a game, finding the little nods to real world things (which Skyrim is full of). TL;DR Can anyone undertake the task of producing full, working Spear animations, I've played so many mods that make Bethesda look sloppy (I love them as Developers but some things are just blatant laziness) and I know that out there, there are talented animators who could do this and once again prove just how awesome Skyrim mods can be. Thank you for your time.

Hi all, I've been playing around with the creation kit after I downloaded a few mods that add spears, in the mods they use standard two handed animations so I thought I might switch them to one handed but no matter what I do they won't use those animations, I can kind of glitch them to work but as soon as I unequip then equip them again it messes up and goes back to two handed, does anyone know whats going on or what I've done wrong, any help would be gratefully recieved. Thanks in advance :)
