📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 201 endorsements and over 20k downloads
  • Fits Thalmor aesthetic perfectly, makes them look more elven
  • Zero balance impact – Steel stats mean no overpowered gear

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects Thalmor – if you wanted all Elven weapons changed, this won't do it
  • Old mod (last updated 2018) – might have compatibility issues with newer mods
  • Cosmetic only – if you're after new weapon types or stats, look elsewhere
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who care about lore-friendly immersion and want Thalmor to look like they belong to the Aldmeri Dominion. Perfect if you're doing a playthrough focused on the Thalmor or just want to tweak enemy visuals. Skip if you want gameplay changes or a broader weapon overhaul.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other weapon mods
  • Load this mod after other weapon retextures to ensure the Elven models take priority
  • Check if your other mods alter Thalmor gear – this might conflict, so test early
