📋 About This Mod
A simple mesh & texture replacement of the default Steel and Iron weapon sets (Sword, Longsword, Axe, Battleaxe, Mace, Warhammer, Dagger), as well as the early game bows (Long, Hunting, Imperial) with the assets created by NordwarUA for his mods Steel Plate Armors and Realistic Armor.
The textures used range in size from 4k to 2k.
This mod was created quickly by me for personal use. If you notice any glaring issues then please let me know.
Neither of the original mods are required for this one to work, as all assets are already included.
This mod replaces the default Steel and Iron weapon meshes and textures with NordwarUA's custom designs. It's a straightforward visual overhaul for Skyrim players who want a fresh look for common weapons without changing stats. With 120 endorsements and 6,510 downloads, it has a modest but active following.
