Immersive Weapons

skyrim — Mods & Enhancements

Immersive Weapons (IW) adds over 200 new, lore-friendly weapons to Skyrim's leveled lists, including polearms, halberds, scimitars, rapiers, and unique variations of existing weapons, distributed across bandits, guards, merchants, and boss chests. It integrates these weapons into the game's economy and combat, making them available at appropriate levels and ensuring they scale with player progression. Players install it to break the monotony of vanilla weapon types and to add medieval fantasy variety without breaking immersion, but it requires compatibility patches with mods that overhaul weapon stats or leveled lists.

🎯 Tips & Tricks

Merge IW's leveled lists with 'Skyrim Immersive Creatures'

After installing IW, open the Bashed Patch in Wrye Bash. Right-click your Bashed Patch, select 'Rebuild Patch', and in the 'Leveled Lists' tab, ensure 'Immersive Weapons.esp' is checked. This merges all weapon additions into a single list, preventing missing weapons on high-level enemies. Rebuild and activate the patch.

Use 'Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes' (WACCF) with IW

WACCF changes weapon stats and tempering. Download the 'IW - WACCF Patch' from the IW Nexus page. Install it after both mods. In MO2, place the patch's ESP below WACCF and IW. This ensures IW's weapons have correct damage values and can be tempered with the right ingots.

Disable IW's 'Unique Weapons' plugin to avoid conflicts

If you use 'Unique Uniques' or 'Artifacts of Skyrim', the unique weapons from IW (like 'Grimsever's Replica') may conflict. In the FOMOD installer, uncheck the 'Unique Weapons' option. Alternatively, delete the 'ImmersiveWeaponsUnique.esp' from the mod folder. This prevents duplicate unique items in the world.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Weapons from IW not appearing in merchants' inventories with 'Economy Overhaul'

Economy Overhaul modifies merchant chests. Use the 'IW - Economy Overhaul Patch' from the IW page. If not available, manually add IW's weapons to merchant lists using xEdit: load both plugins, find 'MerchantChest' records, and add IW weapons to the leveled list entries. Save and exit.

CTD when equipping polearms with 'Animation Mods' like 'Pretty Combat Animations'

Polearms use unique 1H or 2H animations that may not exist in custom animation mods. Install 'Immersive Weapons - Animation Patch' from the IW page, which adds compatible animation files. Load the patch after your animation mod. If CTD persists, disable polearms in the FOMOD installer.
