🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use a mod manager to convert the meshes—otherwise it may not work.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily install and uninstall—this mod is just loose files, so manual install is also fine.
Make a backup of your original ebony sword meshes if you want to revert, but since it's a replacer, uninstalling the mod restores the originals.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community-approved with 1,148 endorsements and 96,011 downloads—clearly a fan favorite.
- Simple drop-in replacer—no new items or scripts to worry about.
- Gives the ebony swords a fresh look if you're tired of the vanilla designs.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2013—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.
- Only covers three ebony sword types—no changes to other ebony weapons like war axes or maces.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're going in blind on the new look.
