📋 About This Mod
If you are looking for SE version - please check the port - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27994
This mod replaces vanilla textures of elven weapons with beautiful looking textures inspired by
aMidianBorn Book of Silence by CaBaL120 (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24909). Pack contains vanilla
silver and obsidian versions with two resolution (high and medium).
High resolution textures are the same size as official high texture DLC (2k for weapon, 1k for quiver and 512 for scabbard). There should not be any loss of fps on any PC.

INSTALLATION
I highly recommend installing this mod via NMM, it is easy and fast. U can find NMM here: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/modmanager/
If u want manual install, just extract this archive and place desired version of textures in main skyrim folder. I do not think there will be any problems with it.
If u want to install obsidian version, install classic (mid or high resolution!) version first, because I cut some files, similar for both versions, for space and traffic economy.
I recommend install aMidianBorn Book of Silence too:

KNOWN ISSUES
COMPATIBILITY
This mod only replaces some textures, so there should not be any problem with this mod.
This mod isn't compatible with SE version. Please check the ported version - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/27994
Anyway, this mode is fully compatible with Basic Crossbow Collection by DJjojo (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/23876), because that Crossbow is based on vanilla textures. Good job, bro!
Optional (better poly) meshes dont work with another moded meshes (like scabbard for great sword - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/5624)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 10k endorsements and 193k downloads
- Two color schemes (silver and obsidian) give you options to match your playstyle
- High and medium res versions let you balance visuals and performance
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or DLC
- Only covers elven weapons, so other weapon types remain vanilla
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it
For Skyrim players who love aMidianBorn's aesthetic and want their elven gear to match. If you're a completionist who wants every weapon type overhauled, this is too narrow. Skip if you want gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate — no special load order needed for texture replacers.
- Pick the medium resolution version if you're on a lower-end PC to avoid FPS drops.
- This mod only affects elven weapons, so pair it with other aMidianBorn texture packs for a consistent look across all gear.
