📋 About This Mod
PikachunoTM's Artifact Mesh Improvements
I found this old mod on my hard drive, fixed it up and added a few new meshes. All meshes are scratch-made (and use vanilla textures). Optional plugin to replace the Bloodskal Blade in Bloodmoon with a unique mesh and texture available as well, plus a modified version of the new Daedric key mesh courtesy of SpaceDevo (New version works now, thanks SpaceDevo!).
Version 1. 2 adds the Animated Staff of Magnus and the Ice Blade of the Monarch as optional files. Also added a new installer to make it easier for installation with a mod manager. Tweaked the meshes for several models.
Description
Replaces many vanilla artifacts from Bloodmoon, Tribunal, and Morrowind with more detailed, scratch-made versions.
Conflicts
Other mesh replacers. It's recommended you install this first and then overwrite, unless you wish to see these cool new meshes ;)
Permissions
Use and redistribute however you wish, but please provide credit for whatever you use.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 441 endorsements and over 27k downloads
- Scratch-built meshes mean better quality than simple retextures
- Optional Bloodskal Blade add-on adds a unique look to a iconic weapon
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects artifacts, not all items in the game
- Requires the Bloodmoon and Tribunal expansions for full coverage
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you'll have to see it in-game
For Morrowind players who want their artifact weapons and armor to look sharper and more detailed without changing gameplay. If you're a collector or completionist who loves showing off unique gear, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or total overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Tribunal and Bloodmoon installed to get the full effect.
- Use a mod manager like Wrye Mash to easily install and uninstall the optional Bloodskal Blade add-on.
- If you're using other mesh replacers, load this mod after them to ensure its meshes take priority.
