⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community approval (9,221 endorsements) — this is a must-try for anyone bothered by chunky swords.
Massive download count (442k) proves it's been a staple for years.
Simple concept, well executed — makes weapons look like actual steel, not foam props.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2014 — may not cover newer weapons added by DLCs or mods.
No detailed install instructions in the description — you're on your own if you're new to modding.
Only affects blades — if you wanted retextures for axes or maces, this won't help.
