📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 469 endorsements and nearly 13k downloads.
  • Fixes the ridiculous scale of two iconic weapons without changing stats.
  • Works with texture replacers, so you can keep your visual upgrades.

⚠️ Cons

  • Only affects two weapons—if you want a broader weapon overhaul, this won't cover it.
  • Last updated in 2020, so it might not be actively maintained for future patches.
  • As a mesh replacer, it could conflict with other mods that alter these same weapon meshes.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who love the lore but cringe at the comically huge Mace of Molag Bal and Volendrung. If you're a roleplayer or immersion seeker who wants more realistic proportions, this is a quick fix. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla sizes or want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
