📋 About This Mod
✅ Safe to edit, install, uninstall or update mid-game.
What it does
The weapon models from Sharpen Other Swords II are the same as the ones from Skyrim Special Edition, but since they had to be remade as animobject models, they can't be easily replaced by weapon remodel mods like LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons. So, for the sake of consistency, this mod patches the vanilla defaults to look like Better-Shaped models.
This mod is for the original/replacer version of LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons only.
🔹 All Better-Shaped Weapons remodels for daggers, greatswords and swords as animobjects.
🔹 Optional Iron Dagger animobject for vanilla.
🔹 The Better-Shaped Weapons remodels for aMidianBorn Book of Silence Skyforge Weapons.
The weapons above don't exist in vanilla. Because of that, they're not included in Sharpen Other Swords II, so I'm going to release them as separate mods in a collection of patches.
🔹 Better-Shaped Weapons isn't a requirement, but you really should consider using at least some of LeanWolf's remodels.
🔹 There's no Better-Shaped remodel for Iron Swords, so they'll still look vanilla.
Compatibility
✅ Anything that doesn't replace Sharpen Other Swords animobject models.
✅ Sharpen Other Swords - Believable Weapons Patch: You can mix both by overwriting the full installation or by selecting the custom installation.
❌ Standalone versions of Better-Shaped Weapons.
