You need PrivateEye's mod Royal Armory - New Artifacts as these are just model and texture replacers.
This mod replaces 13 weapons from PrivateEye's Royal Armory mod. These are:
- Black Crow Dagger
- Dagger of Shalidor
- Dragonfang
- Exquisite Elven Blade
- Hafyllbrand
- Harbinger's Axe
- Judgement
- Northern Honor
- Silvertongue
- Sword of Dragonsreach
- Stormbird
9-19-2021 Update:
Fixed some blood effects not appearing on some weapons, Stormbird inventory fix, Silvertongue, Dragonfang, Judgement mesh fix (including blade seams), Exquisite Elven Blade overhaul (see 2nd image sample for reference).
The main file which is the default model replacer, uses vanilla textures except for Judgement, Tullius' weapon, as it uses a modified Dawnbreaker texture along with some scabbards for some weapons.
The textures of the Elven weapon parts in the weapon previews use the Elven Weapons for Silence by Erlionel and ported by sumugi to SSE with enchanced features!
There are no plans to recreate the remaining weapons that are not included in this mod.
DSR/Ecotone patch files are included for the main and optional files.
This mod replaces 13 weapons from PrivateEye's Royal Armory with alternate models, offering visual variety for Skyrim players. With 3,195 endorsements and 2.4 million downloads, it's a popular cosmetic enhancement. Last updated in September 2021, it remains a solid choice for those wanting to refresh the look of royal armaments.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 3,195 endorsements and 2.4 million downloads show it's a go-to for many players.
- Simple cosmetic upgrade: swaps in new models for 13 weapons, giving a fresh look without altering stats.
- Lightweight and focused: does one thing well, making it easy to integrate into a modded setup.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original PrivateEye's Royal Armory mod, so you need to install that first.
- Last updated in 2021, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods that alter the same weapons.
- Only affects 13 weapons, so if you're looking for a broader overhaul, this won't cover everything.
For Skyrim players who already use PrivateEye's Royal Armory and want to refresh the look of those weapons. If you're a completionist or enjoy visual variety without gameplay changes, this is a nice touch. Skip if you want new weapons or stat changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you install PrivateEye's Royal Armory first, then this mod, so the new models overwrite correctly.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle the file overwrites and avoid conflicts.
- Check the load order: place this mod after the original Royal Armory to ensure the alternate models take effect.
