📋 About This Mod
Solvistapp By Billyro
Description
This mod adds a new, upgradeable sword to Skyrim. Beginning as a broken iron sword, you can reforge it to a regular iron sword, then steel, silver and finally ebony-silver.
You can find Solvistapp in a (sunken) chest at The Wreck of the Winter War, which is east of Windhelm.

4K Textures: Recommended for users with powerful PCs.
Optional Files
DSR Patch: Makes the one-handed weapons compatible with Dual Sheath Redux. Made by OrixFrost. Requires a main file!
Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with everything. If a mod alters the landscape shape beneath The Winter War, there may be a potential conflict, but I don't know of any mods that edit this place.
Installation
Copy the meshes and textures folder to your Skyrim\Data folder. Activate the .esp in the Skyrim launcher. That's it! Alternatively, you can download with NMM and activate it through that.
Permissions
Please don't redistribute this mod. If you wish to use Solvistapp in a custom mod, please let me know beforehand.
v1: Initial release
Humus, for his cubemap base (from which I edited and generated the nissibeach.dds texture).
Nobiax, for his metal texture base.
3DS Max 2012, NifSkope, Paint. NET and CrazyBump - the tools I used to make this mod.
Solvistapp is a compact weapon mod that adds a single upgradeable sword to Skyrim. With 715 endorsements and over 20,000 downloads, it's a well-received addition for players seeking a new weapon without overhauling the game. Last updated in 2015, it remains a simple, lore-friendly option.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 715 endorsements and 20k downloads—clearly a solid choice.
- Simple and focused: just one sword, no bloat or compatibility headaches.
- Upgradeable, so it stays relevant as you progress.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or detailed description—you're flying blind on looks.

- Only one weapon, so if you want variety, this won't scratch that itch.
For Skyrim players who want a single, well-crafted sword to add to their arsenal without overhauling the game. Perfect for collectors and role-players who appreciate a simple, lore-friendly addition. Skip if you're looking for a weapon pack or need modern compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a single weapon, it should be safe to install mid-playthrough, but always make a save before adding mods.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use a conversion tool—old mods often need a quick port.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep track of your load order and avoid conflicts.
