📋 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

💡 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.
