📋 About This Mod

Just a HMGS model that I made based on the one in Bloodborne. Nothing fancy, shit I'm not even sure it'll work. Manually downloading it myself kept causing issues so I'm just hoping doing it through Nexus will fix it. If you just want the model and textures feel free to rip the files and use it for your own needs, just credit me for the modeling and texturing if you end up making your own mod with it. The whole thing is only about 2. 6k tris, so nothing heavy. Looks pretty good in renders, don't know how it'll check out in skyrim.

Jesus Christ it finally worked. You will not be able to give yourself the weapon, but but but you can make it.

-You must have the Dwarven Blacksmith skill

-Go to blacksmith forge and under dwarven you will see it at the vaaaaaaaaaary bottom

-it will require 2 moonstone ingots, 2 silver ingots, and an iron great sword (possibly leather straps)

And badda bing badda boom you got it!

(UPDATE UPDATE)

Although you can in fact craft it, the sword textures did get thrown in the blender a bit thx to skyrim

(UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE)

Alrighty, so I went through the creation process again with another sword (getting the same texture issue) and I finally discovered Nifskope just fucking kicks the shit out of any UV's brought in from imported .obj s (thus why shit looked wack to all you folks in the comments who dug into the files). Anyway, after about 17 headbashings into my keyboard I solved the problem and got everything looking right as rain.

Now you may notice a new enchantment. That was my attempt at giving the sword the Bloodskal blade effect, but to no avail. Apparently it's a scripting thing that I can't just transplant in Creation Kit. If someone smarter than me wants to figure that one out be my guest. Otherwise I imagine you can just give it a new enchantment.

To forge the sword, go to any blacksmith station and it will be under the Silver tab. I don't know if it requires a perk, I was pleasantly surprised it made its own section.
