📋 About This Mod
Overview
Orcish armor and weapons. In this one I didn't go as shiny, since Orichalcum is duller than Steel.
It's got a good green color to it, with a subtle lavender specular.
The set was upscaled, tweaked, and environment mapped.
Be the shiny Orc you always wanted to be!
Compatibility
This mod contains meshes, any other mod that contains the orcish meshes will have a conflict. Textures have separate file paths so they will not conflict with anything. Armor Mesh Fixes SE is included, permissions were obtained. Patches are included for LeanWolf's, Believable Weapons, and Practical Female Armory.
New body types are not, and won't be, supported by me. New bodies are not vanilla+ IMO.
If anyone else would like to make patches, feel free.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 542 endorsements and over 181k downloads, so you know it's solid.
- Keeps the vanilla look but makes Orcish gear actually pop with better textures and reflections.
- Part of the Resurgence Project, so it pairs well with other overhauls from the same author.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Orcish gear—if you want other races overhauled, you'll need to grab other mods.
- Last updated in June 2022, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest game patches.
- Visual-only overhaul—no gameplay changes, so if you wanted stat tweaks, this isn't it.
For Skyrim players who want their Orcish armor and weapons to look sharper and more detailed without straying from the vanilla style. If you're a completionist collecting visual overhauls for all races, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you prefer a total visual overhaul that changes the game's look entirely.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, make sure it loads after other mods that alter Orcish gear to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager, you can preview the textures before installing to see if you like the style.
- Check if the mod has patches for popular texture overhauls like SMIM or Skyrim 202X to ensure compatibility.
