📋 About This Mod

Adds new Ebony swords to the game with 2 and 4K textures Now also with 1h version!

The sword has finally received a scabbard! Now, when carrying the sword on your back, you'll be able to see the scabbard, adding more immersion. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know if I should continue creating weapons with scabbards. Scabbard's will be seen only when weapon are equipped, when dropped on the ground there will without them.

Can be crafted in the forge with Ebony perk or obtain from AdditemMenu

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid endorsement count (175) and massive download numbers (99,740) show it's a popular pick
  • ESL flag means it won't eat your load order slots—great for mod-heavy setups
  • 2K and 4K options let you balance visuals and performance

⚠️ Cons

  • Only adds swords—no other weapon types, so if you wanted axes or maces, this isn't it
  • Texture files might be large, especially the 4K version, which could hit VRAM on lower-end rigs
  • Compatibility risk with other mods that overhaul ebony weapons or textures—check for conflicts
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want more ebony sword variety without messing with complex mods. If you're a completionist or collector, this adds nice options. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full weapon pack—this is purely cosmetic additions.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—ESL flag means no load order worries.
  • Pick the 2K textures if you're on a mid-range PC; 4K looks sharper but costs performance.
  • Since it's ESL, you can safely add it to existing saves without issues.
