📋 About This Mod
I. Description
This mod came to be because I wanted to use both 'Greatsword sheaths and scabbards' and 'Skyrim Weapon De-LARP-ification Project'. Two mods that, unfortunately, couldn't be used together as they conflicted. Instead of waiting around for an unlikely compatibility patch, I decided to "get my hands dirty" and thus Greatsword Sheaths and Scabbards Redux was born.
Greatsword Sheaths and Scabbards Redux adds sheaths and scabbards to all the greatswords in Skyrim (DLC included) and makes their blades thinner (from 'Skyrim Weapon De-LARP-ification Project'). If you prefer, you can use vanilla weapon meshes. Just choose so in the NMM installer. You can now also choose between short sheaths and full-size scabbards.
Supports Dawnguard and Dragonborn DLCs.
CHANGELOG:
- v1[]Initial Release v2[]New pack with small scabbards including custom ones for Dwarven, Ebony, Elven and Orcish greatswords v2. 1[]Adds custom scabbards to Nord Hero and Steel greatswords v2. 1a[]Adds custom scabbard to Silver greatsword v2. 2[]Tweaked the Glass scabbard and the Iron and Glass scabbard textures v2. 3[]Adds custom scabbard to the Ebony Blade v2. 4[]New all-in-one pack with NMM installer.

[]Miscellaneous fixes. v2. 7. 2[](Hopefully) fixed the installer.
- []Fixed issue with Silver greatsword that caused CTD (especially in Dustman's Cairn).
NOTICE:
The original 'Greatsword sheaths and scabbards' mod is not required. If you are using 'Skyrim Weapon De-LARP-ification Project' make sure to install my mod after it.
II. Installation
Use of NMM/Mod Organizer is recommended.
If you still want to manually install it:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 8,922 endorsements and over 242k downloads—clearly a must-have for many.
- Gives greatswords a grounded, realistic look with sheaths and scabbards that actually make sense.
- Flexible options: pick thinner blades for a more realistic feel or stick with vanilla meshes.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only affects greatswords; if you're looking for sheaths on other weapon types, this won't cover them.
- Requires Dawnguard DLC, so players without it can't use the mod.
For Skyrim players who want their greatswords to look more realistic with visible sheaths and scabbards. If you're into immersion and weapon aesthetics, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod through it to keep your load order clean.
- Check the mod's optional files for the thinner blade option—it's a separate download, so grab it if you want that look.
- Since this mod is from 2017, test it with your current Skyrim setup to ensure no conflicts, especially if you have other weapon mesh mods.
