[Mod Request] Witcher Wolf Swords Model Swap

[Earrindo]

I have spent the last 48h trying to do this myself but I cannot seem to find any resources online to solve this dilemma.

 

I am trying to swap all levels of the Witcher Wolf swords (steel and silver) from the witcher gear dlc with 2 other swords.

I would like to replace the Witcher Steel Wolf sword with Princess Xenthia's Sword (with the scabbard_sabre_1_01_02, as opposed to the default for that sword)

I would like to replace the Witcher Silver Wolf sword with the Moonblade, and its default scabbard (incidentally, scabbard_silver_1_07)

 

I tried editing the XML files by hand, as well as Wolven Kit. I tried changing file names and manually replacing the mesh files. I couldn't get ANYTHING i tried to work. The only thing I managed to accomplish was changing the scabbards. Editing the final portion of the XML file seemed to do the trick. but NOTHING I did had any impact on the swords in game.

 

Before anyone mentions AMM, it was the first thing I tried. The issue I have with how AMM does this is twofold. First, during any cutscene animation, the "edited" swords go completely static, and I end up with swords clipping through Geralts head. Second, it doesn't change the inventory screen or icons. Granted, those are not as important, but in all my years of modding I have always prided myself on being thorough when editing something, and making sure the change is globally effective is part of that.

 

If anyone would be willing to assist me with this, either by effecting the swap, or pointing me in the right direction for a program that will help me get this done (ideally with tutorials or guides) I would be very grateful.

 

I view coming to the forums as a last resort, so please be assured I did my due diligence before coming here.
