Shield on back/Simple dual sheath+Immersive Equipment displays

[Claynation01]

Mods used Simple dual sheath/Immersive equipment displays + xpmsse

I am trying to get my shield to stay on back when sheathed/holstered

IE puts it on back fine when I unequip and have it favourited.

The shield but apart from that it stays on my left arm,

same with npc's. I remember xpmsse skeleton had an option

in the MCM for shield, when I checked it was not there, was it

removed? Thanks.

It seems to depend on the shield (for me). For instance, Spellbreaker will stay on the back with no issue. But some other shields will stick to the shield arm like glue (ex: shield of Andragon, apparently an end-game uber-shield of some sort, that I discovered using additem)

 

Oh, and also, (rarely) after some animations or clothing/armor changes, *sometimes a shield normally carried on the back will appear on the shield arm. un-equipping and re-equipping will put it back on my back in those cases.

 

Afaik, there's only been one "vanilla" option in XPMSSE for shield. "default". And on a personal note, I'd actually like if I could choose in-hand vs on-back.

Edit the SimpleDualSheath.ini so the [ShieldOnBack] sections has the following flags Flags=FirstPerson|Player|NPC. FirstPerson is optional, you might want to test it if you use a 1st person camera mod.

 

If that doesn't work you likely have a IED preset forcing the shields placement, but that's very unlikely. There's also a hotkey you can configure (disabled by default) to toggle between vanilla placement and shield on back. But a fresh SDS and IED doesn't use the hotkey nor presets to force specific placements.

Thanks that fixed it

The config I had was setup like this

 

[ShieldOnBack]
Flags=Player|NPC

 

Adding your Flags=FirstPerson|Player|NPC

fixed it

 

The funny thing is I don't use a first person camera mod, not in my current setup, maybe is some animations

I'm using anyway the shield goes to my back now when sheathing weapons. Thank you
