Request Torch+horse animation fix

I can't believe this still hasn't been touched by any modders... It's probably my biggest and most longstanding issue with Skyrim. Who wouldn't want to be able to ride around on their horse and hold up a torch properly meanwhile? The only "temporary solution" for me was Wearable Lanterns, so... now I get to have a lantern attached to my butt when I need light while riding, instead of awesomely holding a torch.

it is an irritation, but it poses a dilemma.

 

if your character holds his torch aloft in one hand, then draws a sword with the other, he no longer has control of the horse.

 

at the moment, the character is holding the reins and a torch in the same hand, kind of a compromise i guess.

Amazing that no one can fix this when its so many talent modders out there that also can do new models or edit old ones.

WTF? I believe I've left a comment here. Where did it go?
If someone is unhappy that I am bumping this thread, will you be happy if I'll make a new one with exact same contents and a link here so that people can see that I'm not the only one who wants such a mod? Feel free to split this message into a separate thread if you think this will be better. Shouldn't be more work than deleting it.

Okay, take2:

This torch thingy is just a oversight from Beth, if not to call it a bug. Unless I missed a fix for it, will be cool if someone can try to make one.
Would be nice to have it in something like SMPC, but a standalone mod is ok of course.
If Falskaar really have this fixed, maybe it is possible to extract just this fix from it. Cause installing it only for the sake of torch is an overkill. Also I believe Oblivion had these torches (while mounted) at the correct position, maybe it is possible to use that somehow.

As for the argument that you can't control a horse while holding a torch, this argument is invalid. Firstly you do can control a horse with just legs. Depends on the rider skills and horse's training, but more importantly in vanilla skyrim character has no problems using a BOW, so torch shouldn't be a problem at all.

Hi. I would also like to voice my opinion that this would be a great mod/fix. The current vanilla torch animation while mounted on horseback is very immersion breaking
