ArteFakes - Unique Artifacts Replacer

This mod is made by a great Russian mod author registrant, who created a lot of amazing weapon mods.

This is an amazing mod I personally used for a while and here I share to you with permission. It replaces most of the generic looking artifacts/items with fantastic and lore-friendly models. It uses vanilla texture so it will benefit from high quality textures like aMidianBorn Book of Silence.

See images for the changes.

The following are rough translation of the original mod page.

=====================

In Skyrim, there are about seventy (including staves, bows, and also cut from the game) weapons that the player almost never uses for their intended purpose. Many of them are quest ones, but all have a model of conventional weapons made of the same material, and the characteristics are so ridiculous that they immediately go into the "got and forget" category. Especially if to complete such a mini-quest you just need to cross the street.

Meanwhile, these are "almost artifacts" with a unique name and history. The quest status will not allow you to accidentally sell or lose them. Of course, this is not yet to take the items to the quest giver (with Dravin's bow and the " Dream of the Dwarf Blacksmith " my dragonborn traveled all over Skyrim and Solstheim). Then, however, some can be stolen back :)

Due to my modest abilities, I will try to make sure that the Dovahkiins are not ashamed to hold it all in their hands ... or hang it on the wall.

The version of the mod for the Legendary Edition is in the archive, or here .

UPDATE 2. 0

Changed the shine of Bolar's Oathblade

Added the ability to forge a replica of Shagrol's Warhammer. At that moment, when, according to the quest, he will be required to be put on the altar, wait a little longer - the forge is nearby.

Added the ability to forge a hammer into a one-handed Shagrol's mace, the conditions are the same as for other ArteFakes.

Added one-handed Trollsbane, reforging condition - like other ArteFakes.

Fixed a bug with the forging of Hjalti's Fine Sword in the Skyforge.

The sharp fracture of the blade near the hilt of the Hjalti's Sword has been smoothed out.

Fixed collisions of weapons - now it, thrown to the ground, interacts correctly with it and objects - does not fall through.

New loading screens appear less frequently, and their text has been slightly tweaked.

On the loading screen of Stormfang, the name of its owner has been corrected - Ulfgar the Unending. Previously it was Ulfgar the Endless, but in my version of the game it is called "Eternal". Although "Ulfgar the Unending" is more correctly translated as Ulfgar the Infinite.

The Ulfgar we meet in Sovngarde has been presented with Stormfang.
