📋 About This Mod

Dragon Priest Weapons Improved By Billyro Version 1

Description

This mod replaces the Dragon Priest dagger and staffs with high quality textures and high poly meshes with environmental mapping (reflectivity).

Installation

Extract the archive and place the meshes and textures folders in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Data and overwrite if prompted.

Alternatively, download with NMM.

Recommended Mod

I recommend using aMidianBorn Ebony alongside this mod. While the armour retexture itself is amazing, CaBaL120's mod also replaces a vanilla cubemap with a much higher quality one - the same cubemap that my mod uses. While the mod isn't a requirement, the Dragon Priest weapons will look a lot nicer if you've installed aMidianBorn Ebony.
