📋 About This Mod
Massive thanks and credits to these wonderful people:

- This mod has 6 variants that replaces the appearance of the Imperial sword.
Variant 1 uses a different blade texture. As for the other parts and/or variants, it will use your current Imperial Sword texture.
Variant 4 Sword and Variant 3 Greatsword takes its likeness from ES:O, Variant 5 from Suran329's art for Beyond Skyrim, and Variant 6 from Morrowind's Imperial Broadsword.
Replacers don't contain any Greatsword files; only the Standalone file adds them.
- Standalone File adds all variants of the Imperial sword, with 3 new greatswords to the forge, distributed to select NPCs (listed below) along with a unique sword for (hopefully) all Penitus Oculatus Agents.
The PO Sword is a mash-up of the Variant 3 and 6's model.
* The Greatsword Variant 2 is dependent on your current Imperial Sword and Steel Greatsword textures.
- Crafting materials for the mod's Imperial Swords has adapted USSEP data, but I've changed the Leather Strips requirement into Firewood. The plugin of this mod doesn't change the USSEP data for crafting the vanilla Imperial Sword.
- To be able to craft the Penitus Oculatus Sword, you must meet the following requirements:
1. Have the Steel Smithing Perk AND EITHER OF THE TWO:
2a. Have completed the quest "Joining the Legion" OR
2b. Have a Penitus Oculatus Sword in your inventory.
- These are the following NPCs that have been accommodated to have the weapons (adapted USSEP changes):
1. Idolaf Battle-Born (Any variant of the Imperial Sword including the vanilla one)
2. Captain Metilius (GS Variant 2)
3. Hadvar (Any variant of the Imperial Sword including the vanilla one)
4. Captain Aldis (GS Variant 3)
Acuti Imperii replaces the Imperial sword with 6 new models and adds 3 craftable greatswords plus a unique Penitus Oculatus sword. A well-received weapon pack for Skyrim players seeking visual variety and new options, with 432 endorsements and 78,555 downloads.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 432 endorsements and 78k downloads.
- Gives the Imperial sword a fresh look with 6 different models.
- Expands your arsenal with craftable greatswords and a unique Penitus Oculatus blade.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2022, so may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only affects the Imperial sword and adds a few greatswords—if you want a broader weapon overhaul, this isn't it.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the Imperial sword mesh or add similar items.
For Skyrim players who want to spice up the Imperial sword's appearance and enjoy crafting new greatswords. If you're a completionist collecting unique weapons, the Penitus Oculatus sword is a nice addition. Skip if you're looking for a full weapon pack overhaul—this is focused and niche.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and easily toggle the mod if you encounter issues.
- If you use other Imperial sword replacers, load this mod after them to ensure its models take priority.
- Check the in-game crafting menu for the new greatswords—they may require smithing perks to craft.
