📋 About This Mod
Diverse Cairn Banners
- Base Object Swapper -
Description:
In the vanilla game, banners on rock cairns only come in red. With this mod installed, you have a chance to encounter more variations of those banners including Generic Blue/Green/Yellow banners, Hold banners (Major 9 holds), and Guild/Faction banners (Thieve Guild, Dawnguard, Arkay Temple, Redoran, Telvanni, Dunmer Temple). Each banner will appear at appropriate locations. For example, hold banners only appear in the proper hold or surrounding settlements and guild banners appear near the hold that houses the guild.
This mod utilizes vanilla assets so your banner retexture will work out of the box.
Requirement:
Base Object Swapper
Recommendation:
Banner retexture (I use Rally's Banners of Skyrim)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 410 endorsements and over 172k downloads
- Tiny footprint—just swaps banner visuals, so it won't tank your FPS
- Uses Base Object Swapper, which is a stable framework for compatibility
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Base Object Swapper, so you need to grab that dependency first
- Only affects cairn banners—if you want broader banner variety, this won't cover it
- Potential conflicts with other mods that edit the same cairn banner records
For Skyrim players who love subtle immersion tweaks and notice the little details while exploring. If you're tired of seeing the same banner on every rock cairn, this is a quick fix. Skip if you want major visual overhauls or gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled before adding this mod, or the banners won't change.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager keeps your load order clean.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check that your game version is compatible with the latest Base Object Swapper update.
