📋 About This Mod

DESCRIPTION

For those who aren't too fond of the bronze look of Dwemer/Dwarven stuff. I've made a black steel type look to the metal. Some meshes related to dwarf stuff (weapons, clutter, etc) have a bronze shine to them, so I've also included modified meshes that makes the shine better suited to the steel color.

Screenshots are with my ENB and Without it. They were all taken Skyrim LE

Compatibility

This mod will technically work with anything, however, it may not work with things that replace dwemer weapons, clutter, armor, etc.

It is better to install this first and then install other mods over it if you have other replacers.

Optional Meshes

This is optional because some people might have mesh replacers for weapons, clutter, and enemies (automatons).

These vanilla meshes have settings in them that give them a bronze shine, so I edited them to have more a low-saturation blue shine to them. Not every dwemer-related mesh has this, so those meshes aren't included. I also didn't include any armor meshes because most people use their own preferred armor replacer. So your armor may or may not still have a bronze shine depending on what armor replacer you have.
