Unpack the file into the 'Paks' directory:

IMPORTANT:
There seems to be a visual bug (rivets on the shield become black, angular edges) which can appear in the inventory screen. This bug is NOT caused by this mod, it is part of the base game. When encountering it in the inventory screen, simply re-equip the shield and the visual bug should be gone.
A simple retexture mod for Skyrim that restores the palace guard shield's original metal color, which was darkened in the remaster. It ensures the shield matches the rest of the imperial watch/palace armor. With 116 endorsements and recent updates, it's a small but appreciated fix for visual consistency.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (116 endorsements) for a noticeable visual inconsistency
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without extra bloat
- Recently updated (May 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game versions
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one shield—if you're looking for broader armor overhauls, this won't scratch that itch
- Small mod with a niche appeal; might not be worth it if you don't use the palace guard shield
- Potential compatibility risk with other retexture mods that alter the same shield—test load order
For Skyrim players who notice the palace guard shield looks off in the remaster and want a quick, lore-friendly fix. If you're a completionist who cares about visual consistency in armor sets, this is for you. Skip if you don't use that shield or prefer more comprehensive retexture packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no extra steps needed.
- Place this mod after other retexture mods in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- Check the shield in-game after installing to confirm the color matches your other imperial armor.
