📋 About This Mod
Does what it says. All pikes have been renamed. The same goes for the category. This mod doesn't change the keyword, only the names, so animations and other keyword-based mods will still work fine.
Works with modded items.
You need Inventory Interface Information Injector and I4 - SkyUI Weapons Pack for the categories to work well.
Why? Personal preference.
A small quality-of-life mod for Skyrim that renames pikes to 'spear' and re-categorizes them in the inventory. It's an ESP-FE plugin, meaning it won't count toward the mod limit. With 145 endorsements and 5,469 downloads, it's a niche fix for players who want more accurate naming and organization.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an ESP-FE, you can safely place it anywhere in your load order, but putting it near other inventory mods helps avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and deploy—no manual file placement needed.
- Check if you have other mods that rename weapons; if so, load this one after them to ensure its names take priority.
