📋 About This Mod
Original mod:
Before I moved to Special Edition I'd always enjoyed the standalone versions of CrazyLion's orcish, ebony, and daedric weapon replacers. Since they never got around to making a standalone version for Skyrim SE, I took it upon myself to do so and have posted it to the Nexus with their permission.
Instead of replacing the meshes and textures of the orcish, ebony, and daedric weapons, you'll be able to use CL's versions alongside their vanilla counterparts. That means new daggers, swords, greatswords, war axes, battleaxes, maces, warhammers, and bows for all three materials; new ebony and daedric arrows; and orcish and ebony shields. These new weapons and shields can be crafted and tempered in the same manner as their vanilla counterparts, with the same materials, and holding the same stats. The Nettlebane and Blade of Sacrifice replacers from the ebony pack are also included for completeness, but these are replacers, not standalone.
As with CL's ebony weapon replacer, you'll be able to choose light or dark leather accents for the dagger, sword, and quiver. However, you'll be able to make and use all three colour variants of the ebony arrow: with red, blue, and black & white fletching. You can freely switch your arrows between the three types at the tanning rack, in batches of one or twenty-four.
Utilising the latest in basic knowledge of xEdit, I've flagged this mod's plugin as an ESPFE "light" plugin. The main plugin - and if you use it, the Nettlebane and Sacrifice plugin - will be automatically merged into the 0xFE load order slot, meaning you don't have to worry about clogging up your limited 255 plugin slots. Refer also to this AFK Mods page on ESLs.
CrazyLion Standalones brings CrazyLion's orcish, ebony, and daedric weapon replacers to Skyrim Special Edition as standalone craftable items, letting you use them alongside vanilla gear. Includes new weapons, shields, arrows, and optional replacers for Nettlebane and Blade of Sacrifice, with color variants for ebony arrows and leather accents.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 235 endorsements and nearly 12k downloads.
- Standalone design means you keep vanilla weapons while adding CL's stylish variants.
- ESPFE flag saves plugin slots, a nice touch for load order management.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE updates or other mods.
- Nettlebane and Blade of Sacrifice are replacers, not standalone, which might conflict with other mods altering those items.
- Compatibility with other weapon mods that alter crafting recipes or tempering could be an issue.
For Skyrim SE players who loved CrazyLion's weapon replacers but want them as standalone items to mix with vanilla gear. Also great for collectors who want more craftable weapon variety without losing the originals. Skip if you prefer lore-friendly or realistic weapon designs—these are stylized.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the ESPFE plugin easily.
- To switch arrow fletching colors, visit a tanning rack and use the crafting menu to convert between red, blue, and black & white variants.
- Since the plugin is ESL-flagged, it won't count toward your 255 plugin limit, but ensure your mod manager supports ESLs.
