📋 About This Mod
This mod changes the handle length for warhammers, battleaxes and some polearms to be closer to what their lengths were historically. Some are still not at their historical length but I think that this is a good compromise between having good leverage and being able to see the blade of your weapon.
If you dump the replacer version into your data files folder you WILL override the original meshes which can be annoying to undo so use a mod manager or OpenMW or something like that. For the non-replacer version make sure to merge your leveled lists using Tes3Merge, Wyre Mash or or any similar tool.
All credits go to the artists that made the actual models I just changed the length of the handles in blender.
Should be compatible with texture mods but the replacer will obviously be incompatible with any mod that changes the weapon meshes for these weapons so load this after any such mod if you want the longer handles.
LEVERAGE is a compact weapon mod that extends the handles of battleaxes, warhammers, and some polearms for a more realistic reach. With 12 endorsements and 360 downloads, it's a niche cosmetic tweak for players who want a subtle visual and gameplay feel change.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny download (360 downloads) but does exactly what it says—longer handles for a more realistic look.
- Lightweight mod that won't bloat your load order.
- Author is active (last updated July 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 12 endorsements—small community, so you're on your own if issues pop up.
- No screenshots or detailed description—you're gambling on whether the longer handles look good in-game.
- Limited scope: only affects certain weapon types, so if you use swords or daggers, this mod does nothing for you.
For players who want a subtle realism tweak to melee weapons without overhauling combat. If you're a purist who notices weapon proportions, this is a quick fix. Skip if you want flashy new weapons or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple mesh edit, make sure to place it in your mod manager's load order after any weapon retextures to avoid conflicts.
- Test with a few different battleaxes and warhammers to see if the longer handles clip with your character's animations.
- If you're on a modded setup, check if any weapon overhaul mods also edit these meshes—you may need to patch or load order tweak.
