📋 About This Mod

Weapons of the Third Era MoS Edition by MasterofShadows

I have permission to upload this mod specifically. I did not create the weapons in this mod, I only updated and compacted the mod for Skyrim Special Edition.

What does this mod include?

  • []I compacted all of the original mod's esps into one new esp.

    []Loose files have been repacked into BSA files.

    []These new weapons are added to various leveled lists. For now, this is not done by script.

    []The MasterofShadows edition contains new weapons, various bug fixes, and changes from the original mod by 747823.

    []MoS added the proper script to silver weapons to make them do damage to undead enemies.

    []All of the meshes have been put through NifOptimizer to ensure they work well with SSE. I tested each weapon in game and I did not see any oddities.

    []There are many weapons added to the game, and it would be a long list to add here. 747823 and MasterofShadows did an excellent job creating these weapons. They are very high quality, and I would even say they are lore friendly. They are based off of various weapons from Morrowind.

    How is this different from the regular Weapons of the Third Era?

    Below is a list of different weapons added by the MoS Edition that are not in the normal Weapons of the Third Era. All of the normal third era weapons are here, plus the ones listed.

    • []Antumbra
      • []5 new set of katanas / nodachis / tanto and wakizashis - Uses the new textures of Fang92 and MasterofShadows.
        • []New set of weapons and armor "Eastern Glass"- Uses the textures of dark green of the style Morrowind realized by 747823.
          • []Values from the normal Weapons of the Third Era changed such as weapon's speeds, weights and damage of weapons corrected to better stick with weapons already present in the basic game 'vanilla'.
            • []Also includes a 1H Third Era Orcish Sword and a 2H Glass Longsword depicted in the photo below.
              • []Now includes "Polished" silver weapons that use a different texture than the normal ones.
                • []Daedric Katanas / tanto/ wakizashi now have sheaths.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 473 endorsements and 8,659 downloads, so you know it's been tested and loved.
  • Lore-friendly weapons that fit right into Skyrim, especially if you're a Morrowind fan.
  • Performance-friendly: BSA-packed and optimized meshes mean no loose file clutter and smoother loading.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2018, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods that alter leveled lists.
  • The single-esp approach could conflict with other weapon mods that also edit leveled lists, requiring a bashed patch.
  • No script-based distribution means weapons appear via leveled lists, which might not be as reliable as scripted additions in some setups.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE players who want a massive, lore-friendly weapon expansion without breaking immersion. If you're a Morrowind fan, you'll love the references. Skip if you're looking for gameplay overhauls or if you already have a weapon pack that covers similar ground.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 5 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod, as it contains BSA files that need proper load order.
  • If you're using other mods that add weapons to leveled lists, consider generating a bashed patch with Wrye Bash to merge conflicts.
  • Check the in-game crafting or leveled lists to find the new weapons—they won't all be in one place, so explore or use console commands to test them.
