Ok. I will explain this in step-by-step form because I think this is the most straight forward. Some things might not be 'necessary' but I think they are useful and give a good result. Most links are from the Nexus. All are installed via the NMM except for SKSE & BOSS. NMM makes for easy installation & un-installation.

Wait until you are finished to boot Skyrim. I take no responsibility for your success or failure.

• 1 - Install the NMM (Nexus Mod Manager) - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager/?

• 2 - Install SKSE (Skyrim Script Extender). I prefer the Alpha 1.7.0 version as it allows you to use a memory hack to reduce crashing. Just select, copy and paste the files & folders (except 'src') into your 'Skyrim' main folder. Boot the game from the file 'skse_loader.exe' in future. This allows SKSE to run. The original Skyrim .exe won't run it. I download the .7z version (opened with 7-zip) to get the actual files, not just an .exe. The .exe version might be fine, I haven't tried it - http://skse.silverlock.org/

• 2 a - For the SKSE memory hack go to 'C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonSkyrimDataSKSE' or where ever you have installed Skyrim and create a new note file. Close it and rename it to 'SKSE.ini'. Open this with notepad or notepad++, copy this into it, save and close:

[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
ScrapHeapSize=256

• 3 - Install FNIS. You just need 'FNIS Behavior V5_0_2 -- ALWAYS necessary' or whatever version it currently is. This allows you to change character animations - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11811/?

• 4 - Install XP32 Maximum Skeleton -XPMS. This gives you additional nodes or 'slots' for equipment. Choose the options for dual wielding, shield on back and weapons on back during installation - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26800/?

• 5 - Install Immersive Animations. Pick the file 'Immersive Animations - NMM Installer - Complete Pack' on Skyrim Nexus. Download with NMM. Choose the options for dual wielding, shield on back and weapons on back during installation. Overwrite files when prompted. I don't know if there is any problem if you don't but maybe this helps? - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34950/?

• 6 - Run FNIS. If you are using the Steam version of Skyrim the .exe is located in 'C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonSkyrimDatatoolsGenerateFNIS_for_UsersGenerateFNISforUsers.exe'. It will be in a similar place if you aren't using the Steam version. Check the boxes for 'GENDER Specific Animations' and 'SKELETON Arm Fix'. This applies different animations for male & female. The skeleton arm fix option lets you raise the shield & run at the same time as well as other shield related animations. Click 'Update FNIS Behavior'. Run FNIS whenever you think you have changed the animations.

• 7 - Install BOSS. This fixes you load order so there are less conflicts with various mods. I prefer to run the 'BOSS GUI' option. Click on 'Run BOSS' with default options. Results will output to your default internet browser. Feel free to have a look. Run BOSS after install & uninstall of mods in future - http://boss-developers.github.io/

• 8 - Install Dual Sheath Redux. Make sure you have Java installed first - http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp. Installing 'Dual Sheath Redux' can be confusing. Download & install initially with NMM. Close NMM. Double click on 'Dual Sheath Redux Patch.jar' in the file location 'Data/SkyProc Patchers/Dual Sheath Redux Patch' I think. Click on 'Patch'. This will fix the slot or node option for the left hand sword on back I think. Open NMM again and make sure that 'Dual Sheath Redux Patch.esp' is ticked along with the original .esp for this mod - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/34155/?

• 9 - Maybe run FNIS again just in case. It doesn't hurt. You should probably run BOSS again too so everything is happy.

• 10 - Boot the game with 'skse_loader.exe' as mentioned in point 2.

• 11 - Good luck.

• 12 - Optional - Install SkyUI. This gives you mod options inside the game. I highly recommend this. The mod option menus will take a few seconds to load initially so give it a minute or so after booting into Skyrim - http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3863/?
