🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod through it to keep your load order clean.
Check the mod's optional files for the thinner blade option—it's a separate download, so grab it if you want that look.
Since this mod is from 2017, test it with your current Skyrim setup to ensure no conflicts, especially if you have other weapon mesh mods.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 8,922 endorsements and over 242k downloads—clearly a must-have for many.
- Gives greatswords a grounded, realistic look with sheaths and scabbards that actually make sense.
- Flexible options: pick thinner blades for a more realistic feel or stick with vanilla meshes.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2017—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Only affects greatswords; if you're looking for sheaths on other weapon types, this won't cover them.
- Requires Dawnguard DLC, so players without it can't use the mod.
