Looking at the number of players who are still happy to travel to the northern province of Tamriel, it becomes clear that Skyrim will stay afloat for a very long time. It is no secret that modders (people involved in the creation of various unofficial add-ons) play a large role in its support, which account for a huge amount of the most diverse content: from working on new hairstyles and clothes to improving textures and adding whole story arches.
Today we’ll talk about a separate category of Skyrim mods for carrying weapons behind their backs. What is remarkable about this modification and for what audience was it created?
If you are interested in various equipment in Skyrim, then you must have seen an assembly called Armed to the Tooth on the Internet. It allows you to work with a wide variety of combinations of equipped daggers. This mod is really very convenient and loved by many players, but there is one “but”. The fact is that you can carry all these cool weapons only on the belt, which is not very practical.
The mod, which will be discussed now, is able to change the usual way of wearing swords, blades and axes in Skyrim. Now all your wealth can be safely transferred behind your back, and you can do this with all objects at the same time. The choice of the location of the weapon here is optional, that is, if you wish, you can leave yourself the option of the back of the thigh instead of the back.
Fashion compatibility
The Skyrim weapon mod behind the back (one-handed and two-handed) gets along well with the following modifications: The Skeleton of Female Models (TheSkeletonOfFemaleModels), a plug-in for more believable deaths and realistic physics (RealisticRagdollsAndForce) and the Armed to Tooth mod (WellPlacedQuons) .
Installation Tips
In order to prevent compatibility errors from appearing during the plugin operation, it is necessary to carry out a custom installation. You can download the file with the addition on the thematic forums, in the section of modifications. The archive contains a folder called Main, in which you can select the modification that suits you:
Vanilla Skeleton - install only on a “clean” game, that is, on a game without any third-party mods for changing skeletons or for carrying weapons.
Female Skeleton - this Skyrim mod for weapons behind the back is installed on top of a bug fix compatible with the modification for female skeletons (we talked about this modification in more detail above).
Realistic Ragdolls and Force - installs on top of the plugin for more believable deaths and display realistic physics.
Well Placed Weapons and Quivers - installed on top of the mode "Armed to the teeth."

Weapon mods behind the back on Skyrim - The Witcher
No less legendary game "The Witcher" also boasts a large selection of a wide variety of swords. Thanks to the efforts of skilled modders, now these weapons can also be transferred to Skyrim using a special modification, which is called “Assembling Swords from the Witcher” game.
Inside the supplement are models of one-handed and two-handed swords, which are divided into two more categories: silver and steel. Some swords have additional damage against monsters. Plus, there are leather cases and the ability to create this or that weapon in the game forge. You can craft if you have several perks from a wide variety of materials: steel, silver, wood, metal, leather and much more. Some swords will be hidden in chests all over Skyrim. All assembled models have 1K and 2K quality textures.
This witch's Skyrim mod for weapons behind his back has about two hundred new items. This modification also extends the choice of carrying weapons. If you want your sword to hang behind your back (or on your side), as in the original game, then change the settings to the appropriate ones or install an additional XPMS mod for new skeletons.
Installation of the modification is carried out in the standard order.
