⚠️ Cons
- Only affects two weapons—if you want a broader weapon overhaul, this won't cover it.

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.
