📋 About This Mod
Go here for SSE version :)
I made real HD arrows with new design of the fletching.
Of course it requires Dawnguard.
Edited files:
Sunhallowed arrows:
aurielsarrow.dds
aurielsarrow_m.dds
aurielsarrow_n.dds also with alpha
Bloodcursed arrows:
aurielsarrow_blood.dds
aurielsarrow_blood_n.dds
I also added a specular map: aurielsarrow_blood_m.dds
and edited aurielsarrow_blood.nif and aurielsarrow_bloodflight.nif
I added also a compatible mesh for Proper Length Arrows. They don't glow any more and use the correct textures.
Installation:
use any mod manager or extract the folders into your Skyrim\data directory.
Deinstallation:
Delete the files in the Data\textures\dlc01\weapons\auriel directory and for the bloodcursed version delete also the files in the data\meshes\dlc01\weapons\auriel directory.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install — it's a simple texture replacer.
- Since it's from 2014, check if your Skyrim version is pre-Special Edition or use the appropriate version if available.
- Load order doesn't matter for texture mods, but place it after any mods that change arrow meshes to ensure textures apply.
