📋 About This Mod
Adds a new, craftable set of Molten Glass armor and weapons.
To craft, they require Rubies for each piece (along with appropriate smithing perks). They have marginally better stats than vanilla Glass. I didn't add it to any leveled lists aside from vendor, so the only way to get it is to craft it, buy it, or cheat it in.
There is an optional replacement version available, that replaces the vanilla glass textures. No additional crafting requirements or anything.

Compatibility:
So far as I know, there are no conflicts. Compatible with perk overhaul mods that change Smithing. If you encounter a problem, just let me know.
If you want to uninstall it, I suggest you at the least, unequip it. Same as if you are uninstalling any other armor/weapon mods.
Then delete the .esp and the following folders:
Data\meshes\armor\moltenglass
Data\meshes\weapons\moltenglass
Data\textures\armor\moltenglass
Data\textures\weapons\moltenglass
For the replacement version, delete
Data\meshes\armor\glass
Data\meshes\weapons\glass
Data\textures\armor\glass
Data\textures\weapons\glass

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 802 endorsements and over 21k downloads.
- Adds a fresh take on Glass gear with a molten theme, perfect for fire mage or dragonborn aesthetics.
- Simple crafting requirements—rubies are easy to stockpile if you're a miner or merchant.
⚠️ Cons
- Only marginally better stats than vanilla Glass, so not a game-changer for min-maxers.
- Last updated in April 2020, so may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Glass armor or smithing recipes.
For Skyrim players who want a visually distinct, craftable armor set without overpowering the game. If you're a completionist collecting all gear or a roleplayer who loves fire-themed aesthetics, this fits. Skip if you're looking for endgame-tier stats or major gameplay changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the appropriate smithing perks (likely Glass Smithing) before trying to craft.
- Stock up on Rubies early—mine them or buy from general goods merchants to avoid farming later.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the armor in-game to see if the molten effect matches your character's style.
