Weapons of the Third Era by
747823
Original mod converted to Skyrim Special Edition with permission.
The mod adds a bunch of custom weapons (mostly swords) to the game. The weapons were made by 74823 and he released the mod for public use. I converted it to Skyrim SSE. Details below.
All weapons can be crafted at forge and tempered at grinding wheel and obey perks for double bonuses (silver weapons respond to steel perks).

[]All meshes processed in NifOptimizer.
[
]As of version 3. 0 the file is flagged as an .esl[]All weapons craftable except Shadowsting.
[]All weapons added to level lists via scripting so no bash/merged patch needed (except Daedric).
[]Daedric weapons are available only through crafting and only after midnight. If you don't want to level smithing to make the Daedric weapons, stick to an older version of the mod or use the console.
[]All silver weapons have correct settings for bonus damage against undead.
[]Shadowsting now has a version of the original Morrowind Enchantment (poison damage of 5 pts for 20 seconds). It's baked in so there is no enchantment cost. You can purchase it from Moth gro-Bagol in the Underkeep. Ask Google. It's flagged as Player Only. It is not cheap. The enchantment is powerful. Use SSEEdit and or the console if you don't like these choices. See Google for your editing needs.

Meltdown by SunlarSyrith

All meshes are optimized for SSE, and weapons are added to level lists via script, eliminating the need for bash or merged patches. Silver weapons have correct properties.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community favorite with 12,106 endorsements and over 800k downloads — clearly a must-have for weapon enthusiasts.
- No bash patch or merged patch needed thanks to script-based level list injection — saves you from modding headaches.
- Silver weapons are properly implemented, so you get the undead-bane effect without glitches.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2022 — might have compatibility issues with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
- Large mod with many weapons — could cause performance issues on lower-end systems or conflicts with other weapon mods.
For Skyrim players who want to expand their arsenal with a massive variety of lore-friendly weapons from Oblivion. Perfect for completionists and collectors who enjoy discovering new gear in dungeons and loot. Skip if you prefer minimalistic overhauls or are on a potato PC.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install — it's the easiest way to keep track of files and uninstall if needed.
- Since weapons are added to level lists, start a new game or wait for respawns to see them in loot — existing saves may not have them in already-generated chests.
- Check for compatibility patches if you use other weapon mods that alter leveled lists — though this mod's scripted injection reduces conflicts.
