📋 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 steel weapons using
modified assets from Billyro, NordwarUA, & Mr. Dave. Matches well with my upcoming NordwarUA-based armor replacer.
Tremendous thanks to billyro, NordwarUA, & 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.
- []Classic, shiny Steel weapons with a simple elegance.
-
[]Textures & meshes are modified & tweaked from the originals for consistency.
[]Uses unique cubemaps - i encourage you to experiment! Replace textures/cubemaps/steel_weapons.dds with your preferred file.
-
[]Most importantly - NO . ESP!
Optional Files:
- []Alternate matching warhammer/battleaxe models. (Thanks to ObsydianShade for the suggestion!)
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 - and I'mopen to suggestions or criticism!
Future Improvements:
-
[]Texture tweaks & adjustments, possibly a battleaxe replacement (I feel the current one lacks something...).
Credits:
The works of billyro & NordwarUA, Bobs Armory Skyrim by Mr. Dave, Kartoffels and TheBlenderAnimator for some cubemaps/texture resources.
Let me know if I have overlooked anything or forgotten anyone and I will credit them immediately!
