📋 About This Mod

PikachunoTM's Artifact Mesh Improvements

Part of the May Modathon 2018

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 ;)
