About this mod
This simple mod for the OpenMW version of Weapon Sheathing places sheathed Two-Handed swords on your hip instead of your back. Drag, drop, and forget!

Background
Weapon Sheathing by Greatness7 is used and loved by many MWSE and OpenMW users alike. Given the size of two-handed swords in Morrowind, coupled with the addition of sheaths for these massive blades, some mods like Weapon Sheathing - Two-Handed Long Blade Sheath Position Edit by profile011 and Hip-Sheathed Claymores by Kellborn move sheathed two-handed swords from the back to the hip, just like one-handed swords.
However, these two mods only work for the MWSE version of Weapon Sheathing, which left OpenMW users without a mod that does the same.
Frustrated by the lack of mods like these that worked for OpenMW, I downloaded and learned NifSkope myself to make an OpenMW compatible version.
This works not just for males and females, but Khajiit and Argonians, too!

Credits
Greatness7 for his Weapon Sheathing mod and akortunov for his OpenMW implementation. Without this framework, we wouldn't be talking about sheath positions. I modified all three of their OpenMW sheathing-related NIF files to create this mod.
Kellborn for his Hip-Sheathed Claymores mod. In struggling to get his mod to work with OpenMW, I realized it isn't compatible. I modified an NiNode in his NIF file and stitched the result into those made by Greatness7 and akortunov.
