Hunterborn - Scrimshaw Expanded SSE

An add-on for Hunterborn that expands the variety and usefulness of the Scrimshaw feature.  Compatible with Hunterborn v1. 5.

So you love the Hunterborn mod and rarely play Skyrim without it. But:

• Do you ever wonder what to do with those extra teeth, claws, and bones that you keep finding?
• Do you need weapons and armor, but hate mining and smelting ingots just to stay versatile?
• Do you want to pimp out your Dragonborn with antlers, bones, skulls, and other natural-looking swag?
• Do you want to make cooler toys to give to your children?
• Do you want to make a magic staff, but you don't want to travel all the way to Solstheim to do it?

If you answered Yes to any of those questions, I would like to invite you to see what Scrimshaw Expanded has to offer.  This low-impact mod adds a variety of useful items and rudimentary weapons to Hunterborn that will help you make better use of the resources you find, and help your hunter-oriented character stay safe and stylish in the wilderness of Skyrim.

WHAT THIS MOD DOES This mod adds new recipes to the Scrimshaw ability of Hunterborn, allowing you to craft unique helmets, shields, weapons, jewelry, ingredients, and other custom items for your character.  Many of these items are brand-new, too, stuff that can't be found anywhere else in Skyrim...stuff like ivory swords, Bosmer headdresses, bomemold weapons, Nordic wands, chitin weapons, and shaman staffs, all designed by some of the best mesh and texture modders on the Nexus.  This mod was written for players who favor a more rural, primitive, outdoorsy, or nature-fantasy style of play, but don't want to sacrifice variety.

In all, this mod adds 31 complete sets of armor (complete with helmets, shields, boots, and gauntlets), 168 new weapons, 50 new staffs, 10 wands, 40 new shields, 48 new helmets (beast race compatible), 25 new alchemy ingredients, 28 new jewelry items, 6 new headdresses, and 28 miscellaneous items. Check out the Images page for some screenshots.

WHAT THIS MOD DOES NOT DO This mod does not allow you to craft everything but the kitchen sink with the Scrimshaw ability.  It does not let you craft clothing, tents, backpacks, books, food, or anything else that isn't predominantly made of antler, bone, chitin, ivory, or wood.  While I took a lot of creative license here (swords made from mammoth tusks?  I know, I know...), I did my best to be as lore-friendly and immersive as possible.

And this mod is not a replacement for the Smithing skill.  The weapons and armor that you create with Scrimshaw cannot be improved at a grindstone or workbench, and y
