🎯 Tips & Tricks
Just drop the 'Data' folder into your Skyrim directory and overwrite when prompted—no mod manager needed.
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it as a mod and enable it—load order doesn't matter for texture replacers.
Check the mod's images on the Nexus page to see the new look before installing, since the description is sparse.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 8,332 endorsements and 145k downloads—clearly a trusted pick.
- High-res textures and new models give the Ebony swords a fresh, classic look.
- Simple drop-in replacer—no compatibility headaches with other weapon mods.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2014—may not be compatible with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter the same meshes.
- Only affects two weapons—if you want a full Ebony set overhaul, this isn't it.
- No screenshots or detailed description—you're flying blind on the exact look until you try it.
