📋 About This Mod
Requirements:
1. Skyrim (Duh)
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with anything and everything. Does not integrate with G. R. I. M.!
Q: How do I get the weapon in game?
A: Approach any forge and as long as you have the ebony smithing perk, the recipes will be available.
- Human: 2 Steel Ingot, 2 Firewood, 2 Bonemeal
- Animal: 2 Steel Ingot, 2 Firewood, 1 Dragonbone
Q: Where are is the Standard and Fire Scythes from G. R. I. M.?
A: Those were made exclusive for the G. R. I. M. mod. If you want to use them, download that mod instead. You should've done so already anyway!
Q: Do these scythes replace the Reaper Scythes in the G. R. I. M. mod?
A: No. This mod is standalone. You could always replace those textures with the ones from this mod though.
Q: Can I change the cubemap?
A: Yes! What a non-specific question to ask. In the textures folder there are 4 cubemaps that I think look well with the weapon. Feel free to change the path
to a different cubemap in the NIFs. The default map is silversteel.
Q: Can you make it more powerful?
A: I will not. It's already equivalent to daedric weapons.

Adds two standalone scythes made of twisted wood and decorated with bones, inspired by the Reaper Scythes from the G.R.I.M mod. A compact weapon pack for players wanting a grim reaper aesthetic without the full G.R.I.M overhaul.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 440 endorsements and over 77k downloads.
- Standalone design means you get the scythes without hauling in the whole G.R.I.M mod.
- Grim reaper aesthetic fits perfectly for dark or necromancer-themed playthroughs.
⚠️ Cons
- Only two weapons—if you want a full arsenal, this won't cut it.
- Last updated in April 2023, so it might be behind on recent game patches.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the same weapon slots or use similar meshes.
For players who want a quick, thematic weapon addition without overhauling their game. If you're a fan of the G.R.I.M mod's scythes but don't want the whole package, this is your pick. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive weapon pack or need more variety.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's standalone, just drop the files into your Data folder or use your mod manager—no extra patches needed.
- If you're on a modded setup, check your load order to ensure no other weapon mods overwrite the scythe meshes.
- Pair with a dark or gothic armor mod to complete the reaper look.
