- Balanced new gear means you won't break the game
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012, so may have compatibility issues with current Skyrim versions
- No detailed documentation on where recipes are learned or how to craft them

For Skyrim players who enjoy crafting and want more variety in blacksmithing. If you're tired of vanilla recipes and want to make your own arrows and lockpicks, this is for you. Skip if you prefer gameplay overhauls or don't want to invest in blacksmithing perks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to read the mod's description on the Nexus for any special notes, but since it's from 2012, check if it's compatible with your Skyrim version (Special Edition or Anniversary Edition may need patches).
- In-game, you'll need to level up your blacksmithing skill and unlock the relevant perks to see the new recipes at forges.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it manually or via the manager, but always check for conflicts with other blacksmithing mods.
