📋 About This Mod
Do you like Daedra? Or do you like smiting Daedra? Want to know what daedra you're gonna SMITE before entering the daedric ruin? Have you ever noticed that the exterior of the Daedric shrines all look the same?
Do I have the mod for you! This mod edits the exteriors of shrines to Mehrunes Dagon and Molag Bal, so you can tell its their shrine at a distance.
Mehrunes Dagon's edits are actually pretty lightweight, since Vvardenfell is already a lot like the Deadlands.
I left the following ruins alone:
Ularradallaku (for compatibility with Red Mountain mods)
Ald Sotha (it's close to Vivec, and I figured that the Temple would make sure it stayed "clean")
Kushtashpi (for compatibility with my Vaermina Shrine mod)
If you use Rocky West Gash, you might have some rocks clipping into each other at Ashalmawia.
Sheogorath's and Malacath's exterior overhauls to follow eventually.
This mod overhauls the exteriors of the Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon shrines in Skyrim to match the interiors from the author's Daedric Shrine Overhaul interiors mod. It's a visual upgrade for players who want consistent shrine aesthetics. With 88 endorsements and 7,071 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Ties the exterior look to the matching interior overhaul, so your shrine visits feel cohesive
- Decent download count (7,071) shows there's interest in shrine visual overhauls
- Lightweight mod that only touches two locations, so it's easy to test and remove if you don't like it
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers two shrines — if you want all Daedric shrines overhauled, this won't do it
- Requires the author's interior overhaul to get the full effect, so it's not a standalone visual upgrade
- Last updated in October 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods that alter those shrine exteriors
For Skyrim players who already use Glittergear's Daedric Shrine Overhaul interiors and want the exteriors to match. If you're a completionist who likes consistent shrine aesthetics, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or overhauling all Daedric shrines — this is purely cosmetic and limited to two locations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the interior overhaul installed first, otherwise the exteriors might look out of place.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install this — it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- If you're using other mods that change shrine exteriors, load this one after them so it takes priority.
