[]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.

✨ Key Features
📊 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.
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.
💡 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.
