📋 About This Mod
This is a SE port of: Elven Weapon for Silence
- using SSE Nif Optimizer & NifSkope. 4K textures upscaled via waifu2x caffe
- everything is ported from LE page, which was last updated in Dec 4th, 2012
- endorse the original mod if you love it! It's a very old mod, but it's still gold!
-------------------
COMPATIBILITY: everything
- replaces only ELVEN weapons - sword, greatsword, dagger, battleaxe, bow, etc
- it's only textures & meshes. So it's either gonna overwrite something, or its gonna be overwritten
JUST LOAD IT LAST/GIVE IT PRIORITY

Leanwolf's BETTER SHAPED WEAPONS,
You do not need the main files.
Just download the patches on this page
Check out Elven Blades
as an alternative to Leanwolf's meshes
Highly recommend amidianborn's elven armor (dark).
Get the (dark) shield textures as well.
It should work, no problem, despite being for LE.
if you like the bikini armor in the cover & end photo,
look up Bikini Ascend SE on google and you'll find a loverslab link (site can be nsfw btw)
-------------------
NOTES: about the port
- lower res textures are available on the LE page, I chose only the 2K.
- ENB will affect color of weapons!
- fixed the cubemaps and updated it using HD Cubemap Collection by cALAMIN
- kudos to LeanWolf for keeping his permissions loose, else we wouldn't have the patch files
- a shout-out to Jowain92 for the pro screen-archery feature photos (thanks Jowain!)
- and lastly, thank you Erlioniel for letting me port this and share it - the mod deserves a little love over in SE
A 2K texture and mesh replacer for Elven weapons in Skyrim Special Edition, adding black obsidian trimmings and outlines to the gear. With over 6,500 endorsements and nearly 600,000 downloads, it's a popular visual overhaul for players who want a darker, more refined look for Elven weaponry.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 6,546 endorsements and 595k downloads.
- Gives Elven weapons a sleek, dark aesthetic that stands out from the vanilla gold look.
- Straightforward replacer—no new items or scripts, just drop-in visual improvement.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019—may not be patched for the latest Skyrim SE updates, though texture replacers usually remain compatible.
- Only affects Elven weapons, not armor or other weapon types.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind on the exact look until you try it.
For Skyrim players who want a darker, more elegant take on Elven weapons without adding new content. If you're tired of the shiny gold look and want something with black obsidian accents, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or new weapon types—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you use other Elven weapon mods, make sure this one loads after them to overwrite textures properly.
- Check the mod's posts for any compatibility notes with popular texture overhauls like SMIM or aMidianBorn.
