How to reproduce: find a dwarf that has an exotic weapon in it's personal preferences.

I didn't/don't think that's possible in the unmodded game. I've never had a dwarf saying they liked scimitars or twohanded swords other than the one time I made those weapons available for dwarfdom.



Incidentally, if you did want to add all of the foreign weapons to be craftable by dwarves ready for a new world, even if that's not really a solution to your question, here's what you'd need to add to the dwarf civilization in the entity raw.

Thanks for clarifying my answer.
That would be a solution... if this save game wasn't a 15 year old multiple fortress for adventurer mode exploring world, i can't leave all the work i had to make those dungeon fortresses behind... But thanks anyways guys.

If you do want this for a later game and you want to make the items not only makeable but also usable for your stunties then you'll probably need to edit their sizes.

It's rare, but possible. The only modding I did in this game is make dwarf children grow up at age 4, and let GCS live up to 80 years.
It is very rare though. I've seen it only 2 or three times before. Perhaps a dwarf needs to have been born to a civ that can make those weapons (in this case, perhaps it's parents were  kidnapped by goblins as a child, that goblin civilization was conquered by humans, where the child is born, the humans then are conquered by dwarves). My current dwarven civ had a necromancer King for over a century. I guess that ups the chances for the dwarves winning a war, and taking over a human civilization.

EDIT: Nope, that theory does not hold. I checked legends. Archi has never been part of any non-dwarven civilization

I dont know i'm in the same boat as you OP. Most foreign mood weapons I get are blowguns or bows. Coincidentally though most of my moods for clothing tend to be foreign. Only once have I had any other foreign weapon and that was a steel scimitar i think back in 31.25
