📋 About This Mod

INSTALLATION

Install with Frosty Mod Manager

Please refer to PinkyDude's How To Use Mods tutorial!

Replaces 18 default mageknives with a variety of different daggers and longswords.

There's really no logic to the replacement, I just chose the ugliest options (norrynotsorry) and replaced them with something else.

NOTE: The Lyrium daggers are smaller (shorter) so they might look slightly off when dangling from Rook's hip. Cannot do anything about that placement with the current modding resources we have available.

THIS MOD IS CURRENTLY NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MODS THAT ALTER OUTFIT MESHES/MESH SWAPS (aka mods that also alter RootLevel) WITHOUT MANUAL INTERFERENCE. See: below. Coloring mods are not affected.

FAQ

"I do not have Mythal's Light, what do I do?"

Check the miscellaneous files of Everything Unlocked mod, that'll get you the weapon.

"Will you make these into separate files to download? I only want to change one mageknife."

No, I will not. I cannot be bothered to keep track of every single file in case some major updates will need to be done in the future. Sorry.

"X sword/dagger is replacing a mageknife I like, can you change that?"

You can just not download/disable the mod if you want to use a certain mageknife on a different character.

My game crashes on save load, why is that?

As the new Frosty tool is currently in early development, there can be some issues with ebx mods in certain parts of the game.
