💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, you can preview the weapon before installing to see if the texture style matches your game.
- Since it's a steel weapon, it will appear in the steel smithing category — make sure you have the required smithing perk to craft it.
- Check if your Skyrim version is compatible with mods from 2014; if not, you may need to use a compatibility patch.
