📋 About This Mod

 

Thank you DeserterX for giving me permission to convert the accessory shield into a true shield.

Thank you Hanaisse for assistance and guidance in converting the accessory shield into a true shield.

(this is basically SSE CBBE server, but other body type users are welcome to join)

This is, as already mentioned above, the true shield version of the accessory. Using stats based on vanilla Ebony Shield.

The textures are included with Deserter X's permission.

Standalone mod: meaning you don't need to download DX's original mod if you wish so, as this is intended for universal use.

Of course male player can also use this shield.

How to get:

1. Blue Palace (Solitude).

- Just before twin staircases leading up to the Jarl's court, to the right side there's a small corridor next to the door to the Pelagius wing.

- For the exact location, please refer to the last few screenshots in the image gallery.

2. Use AddItemMenu.
