📋 About This Mod
Smooth Orcish Weapons (& Pauldrons)
This mod includes mostly-vanilla smoothed meshes for orcish weapons and pauldrons (they were the most conspicuously chunky parts of the set). More armor parts will be added as they're requested.
Because the orcish weapons shared some textures with other weapon types, I had to make a unique texture so I could match the colors without altering the others.
The new textures are tx_w_orcish_waraxe_01.dds and tx_w_orcish_shaft.dds

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 498 endorsements and over 27k downloads
- Keeps the original orcish look while smoothing out rough edges
- Lightweight mod that won't tax your system
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or mods

For Skyrim players who love the orcish aesthetic but wish the models were less jagged. If you're a completionist who wants every weapon type to look its best, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for overhauled textures or new designs — this is purely a mesh smoothing job.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only contains meshes, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder — no mod manager needed.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other mesh mods.
- Check your load order if you have other orcish weapon mods — this one should load after them to ensure its meshes take priority.
