📋 About This Mod
If you use Legacy of the Dragonborn, this mod is effectively obsolete. Please go here to get a much improved version by gutmaw. Downloads and Endorsements are still appreciated. Thank you for your support thus far.
Like I said above, this is a simple mod that replaces the vanilla models for the named weapons in Interesting NPCs with unique ones. Changes the models for 23 weapons.
Update 4/23/19: Added a replacer esp to Optional Files that adds tempering recipes to the weapons so they can be improved at a grindstone.
Requires the meshes and textures from the main file.
All assets come from mods that I have obtained permissions for or already had open permissions.
I own nothing in this mod. All I did was fiddle around with the CK to swap models and convert two models to SE.
If you do not know how to install this mod, I would ask: How did you manage to install Interesting NPCs?

⚠️ Cons
