📋 About This Mod
The textures of the Daedric Reaper mod are fantastic but the mod lacks weapon variety since it includes only a one-handed sword. So I thought I make my own weapons for it.
If you just want a texture replacer for your vanilla daedric armor you can use this.
Mod Description
The new greatsword is called "Daedric Reaper Longsword" which uses the daedric one-handed sword model. In my opinion the daedric greatsword model is hideous while the sword looks quite good, like a heavy sabre. I love sabres!
It is craftable, upgradable and enchantable. It's faster than its daedric greatsword counterpart, on par with a sword or the Ebony Blade - my favorite vanilla two-handed weapon - but has slightly decreased base damage. It will deal less damage per hit but has higher damage per second.
The mod uses the same crafting and upgrading recipe as the daedric greatsword. No need for a manual or specific progression conditions. Just got to any forge you like with some ebony ingots, a daedra heart and some leather and you're good to go.
This is the actual greatsword. It makes use of the Daedric Greatsword model. Bigger, heavier and more impactful. Due to this it is slower than the Longsword but sports a hefty increase in base damage. The DPS is the same as on the Longsword.
The dagger incorporates the same characteristics as the Greatsword. It's slightly faster than its daedric counterpart and also has slightly higher base damage to make the DPS increase in line with the Sword and Longsword. This is because I don't wanted to increase the speed even higher, it would look aweful when swinging the weapon.
My mod offers the same glow colors as provided by the original Daedric Reaper mod. I'm currently deciding if I want to expand on the colors. Maybe some additional blue, green, orange, etc. Maybe even completely rework the color options provided by Daedric Reaper to have more colors also on the armor and sword. And/or be able to mix and match every single item piece with different colors so you'll be able to glow like a christmas tree. Feel free to leave feedback in that regard.
The mod comes with optional minor adjustments to the Reaper Sword (one-handed) from the original Daedric Reaper mod. This is because I felt the sword to be too powerful. It already sports a hefty speed increase making it almost as fast
Daedric Reaper Expansion adds three new weapons—a longsword, greatsword, and dagger—to complement the Daedric Reaper mod. It requires Daedric Reaper installed and offers craftable, upgradable, enchantable weapons with balanced stats. Ideal for players wanting more variety from the Daedric Reaper aesthetic.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 322 endorsements and over 7,400 downloads—clearly fills a gap players wanted.
- Weapons are balanced to match DPS across types, so you're not getting a cheap OP weapon.
- Crafting recipes are the same as daedric greatsword—no extra progression hoops to jump through.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Daedric Reaper mod installed, so it's not standalone—you need both mods.
- Only adds three weapons; if you wanted a full arsenal expansion, this is a modest addition.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that alter daedric weapon stats or crafting recipes—could conflict.
For Skyrim players who love the Daedric Reaper look but wished it had more than a one-handed sword. If you're a two-handed fan or want a matching dagger, this gives you balanced options. Skip if you're not using Daedric Reaper or prefer completely new models over reusing existing ones.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Daedric Reaper is installed first—this mod won't work without it, even if you don't use its items.
- Craft the weapons at any forge using the same materials as the daedric greatsword: ebony ingots, a daedra heart, and leather.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it overwrite when prompted to ensure the new weapons appear correctly.
