📋 About This Mod

SILVER ARMOR AND WEAPONS RETEXTURE SE

If you like my work, please consider leaving a tip on kofi or becoming a Patron!

This mod retextures the Silver sword and greatsword, silver armor, Silver crossbow, silver staff and silver bolts. Optional consistency patches for Sentinel, AEGIS, Silver plate shield, Oblivion Artifacts Pack SE and Leanwolf's Better shaped weapons.

Textures only - no meshes or plugins. It is safe to add or remove from your game at any time.

The textures for the Silver Swords are based on Cabal120's aMidianBorn Book of Silence. I used their normal maps as a base to create my retexture.

Works with every mod that also works with vanilla silver textures, such as Heavy Armory, Animated weapons, etc. If you see any major stretching or dark spots when using a mesh replacer, please let me know by linking the mod in the comments and posting a picture of the bugged area (please spoiler the picture to not take too much space) and I will see if I can fix it.

Fomod lets you pick and choose what you want.

Textures are 2k except Chest armor textures, which are 4k.

Half-res version available in Optional files (1k textures, except chest armor, weapons and shields, which are 2k)

Low-res version available in Optional files (512 textures, except chest armor, weapons and shields textures which are 1k)

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 5,924 endorsements and 2.1 million downloads—this is a texture mod people trust.
  • Covers all silver gear in one package, so you don't need to hunt for separate retextures.
  • Optional patches for popular mods like Leanwolf's Better Shaped Weapons mean it plays nice with your existing setup.

⚠️ Cons

  • No screenshots or detailed previews in the description—you're flying blind until you install it.
  • Requires manual patch installation if you use any of the listed mods, which adds a bit of fiddling.
  • Only covers silver items—if you want matching steel or ebony retextures, you'll need to grab other mods.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want their silver gear to look sharper and more detailed without overhauling the entire game's textures. If you're already using mods like Leanwolf's Better Shaped Weapons, the optional patches make this a no-brainer. Skip if you're after gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install the main file first, then add any optional patches—they'll overwrite the base textures correctly.
  • For the optional patches, make sure they load after the main mod in your load order to avoid texture conflicts.
  • Check the mod's posts tab for user screenshots if you want to see the textures before downloading—the description lacks previews.
