-Description
This mod replaces the Steel Greatsword model with something that looks more realistic... at least in my opinion.

Weaponry of Skyrim, especially swords, looks so much unrealistic. Most people agrees with that, and lots of skilled modders tried to fix that fact. This is my own approach to the problem, and the very first mod I made for Skyrim. (It took my whole weekend to replace this one weapon...jeez)

I'll try to cover all kinds of swords that is present in the game eventually, this is just a beginning of what I'm trying to do. Feel free to leave any suggestions or report issues. Constructive criticism is also welcomed. I'll try to answer ASAP, but since I'm a student and living in UTC +9 region, as you can see in my profile, I might not be able to reply all of you.


-How to Install
Just download and install using NMM, MO, or whatever you prefer. If you want to do it manually, that's fine. Just drop the Meshes folder in your Skyrim Data folder. 


-Compatibility
Compatible with all kinds of vanilla weapon retextures. (aMB BoS, Skyrealism, etc.) This mod only contains mesh files, so any retexture mod would be okay.

Not Compatible with other weapon mods that also replaces Steel Greatsword, obviously.


-Future Plans
-Custom blood effects. Currently it uses blood effect from original model, so it might look a bit weird.
-Redesign Iron Sword and Steel Sword


-Tools used
Autodesk 3ds Max
Nifskope and Niftools Plugin
