📋 About This Mod
I couldn't find a suitable for my liking replacer for the vanilla ebony sword so I made one on my own. There is no esp file so no worries there. It is not compatible with retexture mods because it is using custom textures, in that mind there won't be any conflicts with such mods. Conflicts can happen with other mods that replace the ebony sword .nif files.
Standalone version of the rapier will be available soon, that may or may not include the textures from this mod, let me know what your thoughts are in the comment section.
Use a mod manager (recommended) or manually unpack the archive and drop the folder into your main Skyrim folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Steam\Steamapps\Common\Skyrim SE\)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (11k downloads, 83 endorsements) shows it's got a following
- No ESP means it's a clean drop-in that won't bloat your load order
- Custom textures give the ebony sword a fresh look without fighting other texture mods
⚠️ Cons
- Conflicts with any other mod that replaces the ebony sword .nif files, so you'll have to pick one
- Last updated in 2021, so it might be stale for newer Skyrim versions
- The standalone version teased in the description never materialized, so you're stuck with the replacer
For Skyrim players who want a more elegant, rapier-style ebony sword without messing with load order. If you're into weapon replacers that change the feel of combat, this is a nice touch. Skip it if you're happy with the vanilla ebony sword or if you already use a different ebony sword replacer.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to avoid manual file placement mistakes.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, make sure your mod manager is set up for that version; the mod's folder structure is standard.
- Since there's no ESP, you don't need to worry about load order, but if you have other ebony sword replacers, disable them to avoid conflicts.
