📋 About This Mod

Skyrim Weapons Expansion (SWE) adds over 100+ new weapons, mostly swords, to crafting and leveled lists. Every weapon has been rebalanced to the vanilla game, includes crafting, tempering, and breakdown recipes. All weapons are high quality, are from vanilla weapon types, and provided through open-perms of the original author.

The traditional leveled list plugin adds the weapons directly to the leveled lists allowing for simple compatibility with other mods via bash/smash.

The full leveled list plugin replaces vanilla weapon records with a vLitem<type><material> leveled list in every vanilla leveled list and npc. Weapons added by SWE will appear at a much higher rate than from the traditional leveled list plugin. If using other mods that modify NPCs or Leveled Lists you must use mator smash or wyre bash to resolve conflicts. If you are experienced with xEdit other modded weapons can be distributed in the game by simply adding them to the vLitem<type><material> leveled lists.

The ListMaker patch requires the use of the Synthesis patcher ListMaker. Synthesis isn't quite at its 1. 0 version just yet but is rapidly approaching there and fixing issues as they pop up so I've decided to preemptively support it. If you do use Synthesis be prepared for some bugs and having to QAC the patch it generates. Listmaker specifically will allow you to apply the leveled list integration effects/NPC weapon swaps to all of your entire modlist in one shot.
