Modding a mod?

[kardello]

So I've found a mod that adds the generic samurai soldier to the game. Neat. The only problem is that it's a costume mod for Sasuke of all people. I'm of the opinion that Sasuke gets enough attention, but Mifune was the obvious correct choice for this skin. Is there a quick and easy way to apply this skin to Mifune instead?

The model is well enough made, but it's applied to Kirin Sasuke, and doesn't have his sword, so the character just sits there with his arm awkwardly sticking out into space. I feel Mifune wouldn't have this problem, any tips?

Edit: So I looked up a tutorial for how to do model swaps, and it was suprisingly easy to take the model from the sasuke mod and apply it to Mifune, all I had to do was rename the file and replace all instances of Sasuke inside with Mifune. Cake with a certain program. The only problem now is that the mod doesn't detail where to put the sword and sheath, so it lays on the ground at my feet at all times, anyone know how I can direct it to either stay at my side or to dissapear, as the model already has a sheath?
