📋 About This Mod

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.

💡 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.
