📋 About This Mod

GoT and HotD style dragons replacer for mod-added dragons. 

- Meshes - from my dragon edits and GoT dragons with some variation, Neck bone nodes edited

- Textures - most are based from the overall colors of the modded dragons, SA fix ready. SA fix conversion linked for personal use.

- You can preview the edited dragons (last images) in the images section if you like.

I will be separating the mods by letters

Each replacer will have 2 options (mainly for textures - 8k max or 4k max).

(letter) . 1 - body textures are 8k max

(letter) . 2 - same as . 1 but with half sized textures, 4k max

Choose 1 per letter/mod replacer choice obviously.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod replaces the meshes of mod-added dragons (like DDCSE) with Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon style dragons, derived from KaienHash's GoT and HotD dragon mods. It's a cosmetic overhaul for Skyrim Special Edition players who want their extra dragons to match the show's aesthetic.

✨ Key Features

Replaces meshes for mod-added dragons (DDCSE, etc.) with GoT/HotD style dragons.
Meshes sourced from KaienHash's GoT and HotD dragon edits.
Compatible with mods that add dragons, such as DDCSE.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust with 1,936 endorsements and 1.5 million downloads.
  • Brings the iconic GoT/HotD dragon look to your game, perfect for fans of the shows.
  • Lightweight mesh replacer—no new textures or scripts, just swaps models.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects mod-added dragons, not vanilla ones—if you don't use dragon mods, this does nothing.
  • Requires a mod like DDCSE to be useful, so it's not standalone.
  • No screenshots or detailed install notes in the description, so you're flying blind on visuals.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who use dragon mods like DDCSE and want their extra dragons to look like they stepped off the set of House of the Dragon. Skip if you're happy with vanilla dragons or don't use mod-added dragon encounters.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have a dragon mod like DDCSE installed first, or this mod won't have anything to replace.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple mesh replacer, so just drop it in your mod order.
  • If you're using other dragon replacers, load this one after them to ensure the GoT/HotD meshes take priority.
