📋 About This Mod
Mod replaces the vanilla shield paints for round Wood Shield and Banded Shield.
UPDATE 12/03/2021
Custom Textures has updated how it works yet again! Thus the naming of the textures has changed. The new names are as follows:
objecttexture_ShieldWood_shieldwood_paint_StyleTex
objecttexture_ShieldBanded_shieldwood_paint_StyleTex
UPDATE 05/03/2021
The latest version of Custom Textures allows for models using the same texture to have two different instances, this allows for you to have 3 different patterns for the wood shield and 3 different patterns for the banded shield to do so name the .png files:
objecttexture_ShieldWood_shieldwood_d_style.png
objecttexture_ShieldBanded_shieldwood_d_style.png
INSTALL
First you will need the Custom Textures mod by Adenthorn.
Click and drag the .png you want to use into Valheim\BepInEx\plugins\CustomTextures
Make sure the image is named texture_shieldwood_d_style otherwise the mod won't work.
OTHER
Included is shieldwood_paint_base.png with all of the patterns used so if you wish to change the paint colour or add your own patterns you are able to do so in Photoshop, Gimp, Paint.net or any other image editor you wish.
Patterns are taken from Total War Sagas: Thrones of Britannia.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 418 endorsements and nearly 15k downloads.
- Simple visual upgrade for shields—no gameplay changes to worry about.
- Last updated in 2021, so it's stable for the game version of that era.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects two shield types—if you wanted more variety, this is limited.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're flying blind.
- Last updated in 2021—might not be compatible with newer game patches.
For Skyrim players who want a quick visual refresh on their shields without messing with gameplay. If you're a completionist who likes to customize every piece of gear, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for new shield models or stats—this is purely a paint swap.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a replacer, it will overwrite the vanilla textures—make a backup if you want to revert.
- If you use a mod manager, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Check if you have other mods that alter the same shields—load order matters to avoid conflicts.
