Additional We
A compact Skyrim mod that reworks Hircine's two artifacts to make them playable and more useful. With 209 endorsements and 71,105 downloads, it's a community-approved tweak for players who want better Daedric gear without overhauling the game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing (209 endorsements) and a ton of downloads (71k) — clearly a lot of people are using this.
- Directly addresses a common gripe: Hircine's artifacts feel underwhelming, and this makes them actually worth using.
- Lightweight and focused — it doesn't touch anything else, so it's a safe bet if you just want those two items improved.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in June 2025 — might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods that alter the same artifacts.
- No detailed changelog or feature list, so you're going in blind on exactly what stats or effects get changed.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that rebalance Daedric artifacts or overhaul the Ring of Hircine and Savior's Hide.
For Skyrim players who love Daedric quest rewards but hate that Hircine's gear feels like vendor trash. If you're a completionist who wants every artifact to be viable, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're looking for a full Daedric overhaul — this only touches Hircine's two items.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a simple rework, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 makes it easier to uninstall if you change your mind.
- Load order matters: place this after any mods that also edit Hircine's artifacts so its changes take priority.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, make sure you grab the correct version for your game — check the mod page for any version-specific files.
