📋 About This Mod
Special thanks to my lovely Patrons and supporters, you are awesome!
Complete overhaul of all Guard Shields in Skyrim.
After receiving many requests for shields that match my Banners, i created this overhaul.
It ships with new textures and all sigils have been drawn by hand.
Available in 4K, 2K and 1K.
In Vanilla, the 3rd person shield mesh is lower poly than the 1st person mesh.
Therefore i replaced the meshes so that all are using the better shaped 1st person model and
added Environment Mapping.
Patches available for:
Helgen Reborn
The Screenshots have been taken with Cathedral Weathers, ELFX and Pi-Cho ENB
Download with your preferred mod manager, install and overwrite when prompted
Disable/uninstall the mod from your manager or remove the files from your Skyrim directory
This replacer comes with tweaked meshes, so it is not compatible with mods that alter these Shields.
In case of a conflict it must be loaded afterwards.
Fully compatible with Simple Dual Sheath

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 202 endorsements and over 44k downloads.
- Resolution options (4K, 2K, 1K) let you balance quality and performance.
- Patches for popular quest mods show the author cares about compatibility.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects guard shields—if you want more variety, you'll need other mods.
- Hand-drawn style might not match vanilla aesthetics for some players.
- Compatibility with other shield texture overhauls could be an issue if not patched.
For Skyrim players who want to give the city guards a more personalized look without overhauling the whole game. Great for screenshot enthusiasts and roleplayers who notice details. Skip if you're not into texture mods or prefer a more realistic style.
