Insane Armory - Axes Hammers Maces
Description
This modification will no longer be updated.
Only version for Skyrim Special Edytion will be developed further.
Skyrim Special Edition Version
This would not be possible without NifSkope and 3ds Max Nif Plugin.
Modification changing Axes Hammers and Maces from base game and DLC's.
Mainly it has been changed thickness of all "blades" and the majority of hand grips, to be "less Vanilla".
At the same time, I tried to keep as much as possible fidelity to the original game design.
Improved Blood Stains.
Blood stains are now not only on a small part of the the blade like Vanilla.
But all over the edge and part of the haft/handle to the handle.
But not on the part which is held in the hands.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 463 endorsements and over 13k downloads, so it's got a solid track record.
- Gives your blunt weapons a beefier, more realistic look without straying too far from the originals.
- Covers both base game and DLC weapons, so you get consistent changes across the board.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might not be compatible with newer game versions or DLCs released since then.
- Purely cosmetic — if you're looking for new weapon stats or animations, this isn't it.
For players who want their axes, hammers, and maces to look chunkier and less like the vanilla designs. If you're into visual overhauls that keep the original feel, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want gameplay changes or if you're running a heavily modded setup where compatibility could be an issue.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture/model replacer, make sure to place it after any other mods that alter the same weapons in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the changes in-game to see if the thickness adjustments are to your liking before committing.
- Check the mod's comments or forums for any user-reported compatibility issues with your specific game version, as the mod hasn't been updated since 2016.
