My holstered weapons are huge

[cpandar]

When I equip a weapon it's normal size but when holstered they become huge. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this issue. I've tried 4 different skeletons and all of them are the same. Vanilla XP32's Enhanced Character Edit's and The Skeleton of Female Models. I have no idea when this problem cropped up since I've been playing a mage type character. I'm using a couple animation mods and have stripped all of them away to no avail.

 

I have no idea what to do other than a clean install and re-installing each individual mod separably.

 

I guess here's my load order if you're curios.

I don't see anything jumping out at me that would cause that, so I have no clue how to fix it, but I have an idea or 3 on what to do about it in the mean time. 

 

Does ECE have slider support for weapon nodes? I haven't used it in a while so IDK, I do know that Racemenu does. 

Is your custom race set at a different than default scale? (that would change your held weapon scale too so prob not.)

Have you tried opening your skeleton in Nifskope and seeing what the weapon node scales are at? <-- if you got this far and still no, do this and rescale to desired scale.

[cpandar]

ECE does have sliper support for weapon nodes. Resizing them however will make them comparatively smaller when wielded. I'm not using a custom race but do have some sliders adjusted (height, shoulder, legs, waist, head) but have brought them back to vanilla settings with no difference.

 

I guess to really know I'll have to open the skeleton in Nifskope. I have next to no experience with the program but I didn't think of doing this. Thank you for the suggestion.

 

 

 

edit: in the end it was ECE. It's to bad because I saw that mod as absolutely necessary and would not get rid of it. I guess I'm just going to roll back to an earlier version and call it good.
