Ok before someone says NO straight off the bat...does this work with SE/AE like i know many many oldrim mods still do? cos to my knowledge there isnt one in any named format for SE/AE
Long time gone, probably, but yes, this mod DEFINITELY DOES WORK ON SE. Any LE mod that is solely meshes and/or textures, WITHOUT a plugin file, will probably work just fine in SE.
Best practice for using LE mesh/texture mods in SE is to run them through Cathedral Assets Optimizer. I just ran this mod through it myself, and 4 meshes were flagged for 'necessary optimization', which is done to prevent possible crashes and other unexpected things from happening when SE loads an older-format assets. MOST of the time, nothing will go wrong, but tracking a crash sourced in LE assets later on is heartbreakingly tedious, especially if you've got multiple non-optimized LE mesh/texture mods.
To anyone looking for an alternative on SSE try this out "IPM - Insane Armory - Bows Crossbows Axes Hammers Maces Shields" Install order: 1st Original (/50737/?, /67828/? & /66379/?) /SSE (/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2025/?): "IPM- Insane Armory ". 2nd Original Only (/16072/?) : "Skyrim Weapon De-LARP-ification Project" 3rd Original (/39870/?) /SSE (/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2017/?): "LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons".
How to run oldrim mods in SSE...install via NMM...I have 28 oldrim mods working on SSE with latest AE patch...all work 100%...need to know 100% if this de-larp works cos better shaped weapons is a piss take mod that doesnt look right
Easy answer is no...both mods have mesh replacers that would directly conflict with each other.
A more detailed answer is that it's theoretically possible to use both together with the realization that whichever mod loads last will override big chunks of the other one...if you went thru each mod's replacements one-by-one to decide which changes you like better, you could set your load order to have whichever mod you like more be the conflict winner. If it were me, I'd choose one or the other and be done.
Hey, Is it just me or are you guys too looking forward to see this and better shaped weapon merged together? I mean it's really hard to choose between the two of these mods. I'm sorry I didn't read before posting. didn't mean to make duplicate of the same discussion. Last I checked, they were not compatible and there were a lot of conflicting meshes. Either way you had to overwrite one with another which resulted in having features of only one of the two mods. Couldn't either of you release a version with implemented built in features of the other mod? Or work together and release a mod that has both mods' features? Even better, long ago, I've read on step forum that there had been a great new third mod released which conflicts with both of your mods. The mod's name was Greatswords SSwTB. They assumed that the modifications made by all three mods are essential. therefore, they suggested installation order, taking the benefits of all three mods with least conflict losses. Did you ever contact the other mod author about this? Please inform us if there was any news related to said matter. Thank you for making skyrim a better game my English is bad. sry
In case, anyone is curious about the step forum discussion I'm referring to, here is the link... http://forum.step-project.com/topic/2710-better-shaped-weapons-bsw-by-masterofshadows-and-leanwolf/
Hey! Great mod but can you fix the 'The Sword of The Ancient Tongues' weapons? both the two handed version and the one handed version? Would appreciate it a lot!

Install order:
1st Original (/50737/?, /67828/? & /66379/?) /SSE (/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2025/?): "IPM- Insane Armory ".
2nd Original Only (/16072/?) : "Skyrim Weapon De-LARP-ification Project"
3rd Original (/39870/?) /SSE (/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2017/?): "LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons".
" And there it is friend."
There's a.nif optimizer program or something around.
