📋 About This Mod
Distributes ArteFakes unique models using Skypatcher to avoid issues with mods that alter artifacts stats in a conflict-free way.
Covers all aspects of the original mod, but the stats changes.
Patches for:
Legacy of the dragonborn
You should still use the LOTD patch from Artefak's main page. After analyzing the plugin, I found no reason to turn that patch into a skypatcher version.

⚠️ Cons
- Requires Skypatcher as a dependency, which adds setup complexity

For Skyrim modders who already use Artefakes and want to run it alongside other artifact-overhaul mods without conflicts. Perfect if you're tired of mesh overwrite battles. Skip if you don't use Artefakes or prefer a simple replacer without extra dependencies.
