Moddable Vanilla Uniques

I'm honestly really surprised I haven't been able to find a mod that lets me attach the mods from GRA and the like to weapons like the ranger sequoia and mysterious magnum. The mod MUW just adds specific mods for the uniques, rather than implementing it so the weapons can be modified with the existing modifications. I saw a lot of people in the comments of that mod say they came to that mod hoping they'd be able to use GRA mod items with uniques, and being disappointed that they could not.

"Uniques" have custom meshes and textures that differ from those of the standard weapons. Consequently, each has to have it's own "modded" mesh and texture files for each weapon mod you want to permit. So, for each unique you would have to also provide that specific unique version of the GRA (and probably vanilla) weapon mods. And it goes far beyond just matching shape and color, getting into things like NifSkope "nodes" for aiming, projectiles, and animations. It's a lot of work, and not really something that can be done for all mods in general. Simple in concept, but not in implementation.

Honestly I don't care all that much if the weapon's appearance changes as long as the mod's benefits are added
