📋 About This Mod
A project I created for my personal use and decided to upload. This is a re-texture & mesh replacer for the Vanilla Orcish weapons using
modified assets from Mr. Dave and Andragorn. Designed to fit with my NordwarUA-based armor replacer.
Tremendous thanks to Andragorn & Mr. Dave for much of the the original meshes/textures! I only edited the textures, adjusted them in NIFScope, and recompiled them as drop-in replacers. Full credit is due to them for their hard work in modeling/crafting/importing/texturing these.
- []Brutal, heavy, but ornate Orcish weapons with a fantasy vibe.
-
[]Textures & meshes are modified & tweaked from the originals - I manually upscaled many of these from 1k to 2k and retextured them.
[]Uses unique cubemaps - I encourage you to experiment! Replace textures/cubemaps/orcish_weapons.dds with your preferred file.
-
[]Most importantly - NO . ESP!
While my choice for the longsword may not be entirely lore-friendly.... I think it fits the aesthetic rather well. The battleaxe is also is a bit different (i.e. shorter), but I think it looks good. I put a lot of work into this to get the feel I wanted. Hopefully you like it!
As always, let me know of any issues or requests and I'll see what I can do! Note: I am not making .esp plug-ins, patches, or stand-alone versions at this time.
Note:
This is a work in progress that I threw together for my own use while working on my other projects, I'll try to upload improvements as I
create them, but right now do not have much time to work on mods anymore.
Andragorn for generous permission to use their assets and for original textures & models, Mr. Dave for original textures & models taken from Bobs Armory Skyrim - Swords - Axes - Bows - Spears, vedan77 for the cubemaps.
Simply Ornate Orcish Weapons is a texture and mesh replacer for vanilla Steel weapons, using assets by Mr. Dave and Andragorn. It replaces the standard weapon set with ornate Orcish-style designs. No ESP, so it's a simple drop-in visual overhaul for Skyrim players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 465 endorsements and over 24k downloads
- No ESP means it's lightweight and won't bloat your load order
- Ornate Orcish style gives a fresh look to the common Steel weapons
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Steel weapons, so other weapon types remain vanilla
- Last updated in 2021, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mods
- Potential conflicts with other mods that overhaul the same Steel weapon meshes or textures
For Skyrim players who want a subtle but noticeable visual upgrade to their Steel weapons without adding gameplay changes. If you're a completionist who likes collecting weapon replacers, this is a nice addition. Skip if you're looking for new weapon types or gameplay mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since there's no ESP, you can safely install and uninstall this mod without affecting your save game.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other texture mods.
- Check if you have other mods that alter Steel weapon meshes to avoid conflicts; if so, load this one after them.
