📋 About This Mod
I like the look of these weapons but due to the lack of upgradeability they become useless pretty quickly as you level up.
You will need the steel smithing perk to craft both weapons. They will appear under "Misc" section when using the blacksmith forge.
Both require silver ingots and leather strips to craft at the forge and silver ingots to upgrade at the grindstone.
This mod makes silver swords and greatswords craftable and upgradeable in Skyrim, requiring the Steel Smithing perk and silver ingots. It addresses the issue of silver weapons becoming obsolete as you level, adding them to the Misc forge category. A practical fix for players who favor silver weapon aesthetics.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 377 endorsements and over 9,000 downloads.
- Solves the real problem of silver weapons becoming useless at higher levels.
- Simple, lightweight mod that fits seamlessly into vanilla crafting.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers two weapon types (sword and greatsword) – no other silver weapons included.
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods.
- Requires the Steel Smithing perk, which might not fit all character builds.
For Skyrim players who love the look of silver weapons but hate that they can't be upgraded. If you're a blacksmith-focused character who wants to keep using silver gear late-game, this is for you. Skip if you want more than just swords and greatswords or if you're on a version newer than what this mod supports.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Steel Smithing perk before trying to craft these at the forge.
- Silver ingots can be smelted from silver ore, which you can find in mines like Kolskeggr.
- Check your load order – this mod should be placed after any mods that alter silver weapon stats.
