Changelogs

Version 1.5.7
- Updated for Skyrim SE 1.6.1130
- Optionally redirect crossbows and 2h axes to separate nodes (WeaponCrossbow, WeaponBackAxeMace), togglable via General:DisableWeaponNodeSharing. Don't blindly enable this, it'll break things if those nodes aren't added to character skeletons that use 2h weapons (ie via IED's skeleton extensions).
- Rewrote skyrim's scabbard removal func to include ScbLeft (left-hand scabbards are removed from inventory/dropped world objects)
- Removed the largely useless left/custom scabbard toggle options from the General section
Version 1.5.6
- Fixed clenched hand patch on runtimes >= 1.6.629
Version 1.5.5
- Use the default node (hand) if a skeleton mesh lacks the appropriate left sheath node. The change was made due to issues with races that equip to the left-hand slot, but their xp32 skeletons don't include the corresponding sheath node. Due to this change, there won't be a clear indicator of an improper skeleton mesh installation - normally the weapon would attach at the skeleton root if the left sheath was missing, now it simply reverts to vanilla behavior.
- ShieldOnBack: enabled first-person processing by default ('FirstPerson' flag was added to the default configuration)
- Minor adjustment to make the equipped item appear in-hand when hands are drawn. Previously it would appear in the sheath for a single frame, then move to the hand.
Version 1.5.4
- Fixed an issue where drawn state was recognized as already sheathed while the character was still sheathing (thanks GiraPomba)
Version 1.5.3
- Fixed a rare issue where the shield-on-back toggle could be triggered even if the keys weren't pressed
- Added an interface that allows other skse plugins to read data from the plugin (currently just for detecting shield-on-back)
Version 1.5.2
- Added option to disable all scabbards. To use it, add DisableAllScabbards=true under General section in SimpleDualSheath.ini.
Version 1.5.1
- AE version independence - updated to use address library
Version 1.5.0
- AE support
- Remember shield toggle state
- Fixed some minor issues and improved efficiency
Version 1.4.1
- Fixed a compatibility issue with Skyrim Souls RE which prevented items from moving between hand and sheath (introduced in 1.4)
Version 1.4.0
- Added option to toggle shield on back via hotkey
- Fixed an issue which could have lead to CTD when equipping items in some rare cases
- Fixed NPC inventory base items not evaluated for equip (affects EquipLeft feature only)
Version 1.3.0
- Added support for left scabbards - separate nodes (ScbLeft) with geometry mirrored and aligned on the Z axis can be added to weapon meshes, it will automatically replace the default scabbard when equipped in the left hand
- Ensure that items are immediately attached to the correct node (dependant on actor draw state) when created - this fixes an issue where items would sometimes appear on the opposite node for a single frame on equip
Version 1.2.0
- Added workaround for clenched hand when shield is on back (set ClenchedHandWorkaround=true to enable)
- Added option to prevent the shield from being hidden when sitting down or on a mount (see DisableHideOnSit option in the config)
Version 1.1.0
- Added two-handed weapon support (CGO). Off by default, read the notes in config.
- Added option to make dual-wielding NPCs equip their left weapon outside of combat. (Off by default)
Version 1.0.0
- Initial release

Overview

Makes equipped left hand weapons and both staves visible. Works on the player and optionally on any loaded NPCs (configurable in the ini file). Works with any weapon, vanilla or custom without the need to generate separate meshes. Does not use body slots. Includes shield on back option.

Installation

Install prerequisites:

SKSE64
Address Library for SKSE Plugins
An XP32 compatible skeleton mesh. You don't need this if you have Immersive Equipment Displays 1.7.2 or newer. Otherwise, just install the optional file from this page (XPMSSE Left Hand Sheath Rotation Fix), it includes the required meshes with corrected left-hand sheaths.

Optional:

Immersive Equipment Displays if you want to display your gear or reposition, scale or move items to other nodes (e.g. on to back). Draw/sheathe animations are supported though Open Animation Replacer mods.

Manually extract to <Skyrim path>\Data or install with your preferred mod manager.

Configuration

All options are in SimpleDualSheath.ini, after installation you can find the file in <Skyrim path>\Data\SKSE\Plugins.

Each weapon type (Sword, Axe, Mace, Dagger and Staff) can be configured separately with a combination of flags. By default all weapon options are set to show on the player and NPCs. Shield on back is disabled by default.

Examples:

To make maces show up only on the player, remove the 'NPC' flag:

[Mace]
Flags=Player

Enable shield on back for both player and NPCs:

[ShieldOnBack]
Flags=Player|NPC

To swap sheathe positions for staves (left <-> right), add the 'Swap' flag:

[Staff]
Flags=Player|NPC|Right|Swap

You get the idea.

Added in 1.1.0:

Two handed weapon support for CGO users. Enable by adding 'Player' flag in '2HSword' and '2HAxe' sections.
Dual-wielding NPCs automatically equip carried weapons in their left hand outside of combat. Enable by setting EquipLeft=true in 'NPC' section.

Added in 1.2.0:

Workaround for clenched hand when shield on back is enabled. It's off by default since most players probably don't notice such details. If it bothers you, set ClenchedHandWorkaround=true.
Ability to prevent the shield from being hidden when sitting down or getting on a mount. This makes most sense with shield on back enabled but it will work regardless. A separate option (DisableHideOnSit) controls whether the feature is on for the player, NPCs and if it's restricted to mounts only.

Added in 1.5.2:

Optionally disable all scabbards. If you want to enable it, add DisableAllScabbards=true under General section in the INI. Example:

[General]
DisableAllScabbards=true

Known issues

Scabbard straps on weapons equipped on the left side stick out after installing 'XPMSSE Left Hand Sheath Rotation Fix' optional file. Solution: use ImmersiveEquipmentMeshGen Synthesis patcher by SteveTownsend to automatically generate mirrored left-hand scabbard nodes for 1H sword/axe/mace/dagger meshes. Zip contents of the output folder and install it with your mod manager (place at the end of your load order).

Compatibility

Obviously not compatible with other dual sheath mods.
A compatible (XP32) skeleton is required. Be careful with mods which overwrite races with custom skeletons. Left-hand weapons and staves appearing underneath the character (at the skeleton root) means that the required nodes are missing from it's skeleton. Check the base skeleton installation and if the character's race has any overrides pointing to non-xp32 skeletons.
