Forsworn sword is completely broken

[Asterix Ace]

Having an issue with "Armor and weapon fixes remade" where it seems to have completely broken 1 specific item, that being the forsworn sword, every-time you go to equip it within the inventory menu, its either invisible or if you have had to scroll down your inventory menu, it will take the model of the item prior to it, its base damage of 10 has been cut in half to 5, it has zero weight, zero value, and when attempting to use/draw the weapon, your character just switches to fists, meanwhile the sword is visible on your characters belt. It also retains its model when dropped too. Anyone know how to fix this extremely bizzare and annoying bug? I tried going to tes5edit and deleting the changes that the mods make to that specific weapon, and yet it does nothing. Only fix I have found is removing the mod entirely

I've used WAFR for years and never experienced such a thing, and since kryptopyr is a very experienced author making stable mods I doubt it's the culprit. Even though it might seem like this mod is the cause when it is fixed by removing it, it is more likely a conflict with and caused by another one.

I see you made a bug report on WAFR's mod page[www.nexusmods.com] and posted your loadorder there. There were 2 things I noticed:

aMidianBorn_ContentAddon.esp already contains an updated version of aMidianborn_Skyforge_Weapons.esp, making that .esp not only redundant but a conflict. While not directly related to your issue, it will cause instability.

The problem you're describing sounds like something that might happen if LootandDegradation.esp is facing a conflict with another mod (again unlikely with WAFR though). If you can still reproduce the bug on your save with WAFR reinstalled, you might want to check if unchecking this mod instead fixes it too.

@Op do you have the LVL list plugin loaded last that comes whit the mod?
WACCF_BashedPatchLvlListFix.esp

I have only run in to few issues that have not been fixed in next version and your issue should not even be there
I have as @Mutenear also used that mod for atleast 6 years now.
Check his/her suggestions, and also make sure you place the LVL list plugin more or less last.

You can see his loadorder in the link I posted (the bug report "Forsworn sword broken" at the top).

He uses Armor_TrueOrcishWeapons.esp and Armor_TrueWeaponsLvlLists.esp that come with WAFR and made a bashed patch, even though the leveled list file is in the middle of the loadorder that should not matter, and also not related to his issue.

Yeah dw i found the culprit, while WAAFR was responsible for the bug, so was immersive sounds compendium, i remove all records of edits to the forsworn sword in tes5edit and it fixed it.

And yes I am aware that I have the skyforge and the content pack, but for some reasson the content pack never seems to include the skyforge model changes, so I installed it seperately.

Well that's another sign of a conflict from another source I'm afraid.

What mods were affecting the Forsworn sword according to xEdit?
I can imagine conflicts between WAFR and ISC since both edit records for weapons, but neither should introduce a bug like you ran into.

Take it or leave it, but if you continue with this loadorder that is clearly not stable, you'll run into more trouble down the road. And while LOOT helps a lot, for a big loadorder such as yours it requires manual conflict resolution in xEdit to merge everything together nicely.
