📋 About This Mod
Now the steel sword and shortsword will match the other steel weapons with the white polished blades and bright wooden grips instead of the grungy black color of Weapon Improvement Project's base textures. No detail has been removed, just brightened and saturated to have a cleaner look more in line with the vanilla game's steel weapons.
Just drag and drop the contents of the .zip folder into your Oblivion/Data folder after installing Weapon Improvement Project.
A simple retexture mod that changes the steel swords from InsanitySorrow's Weapon Improvement Project to match vanilla colors. For players who prefer the original look but want the improved weapon models. Lightweight and easy to install, though it requires the base mod.
