Hey there insaneplumber, I've got a question here; I LOVE what you've done here because I'm one of those ignored by developer players who prefer a bit of realism in my fantasy, ESPECIALLY with weapon and armor designs, so making these weapons more realistic in shape is something I REALLY wanna do with my Skyrim game. But while I understand that ANOTHER mod I was planning on using, Leanwolf's Better Shaped Weapons, was the inspiration for your mod, I'm worried I might have to choose on or the other because BOTH mods seem to edit the meshes for a lot of AXES in the game, and I'm worried they might not play nice with each-other, or with THIS mod I was planning on using too. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54851 So my question is, WILL this mod play nice with Leanwolf's Better Shaped Weapons and Single-bitted Steel Battleaxe?
I don't mean to dispute how your mods are made. I use your other mods in fact. but I think this one may be corrupted.
on two separate playthroughs (and completely fresh installations and mod lists), this mod has been the sole cause of all CTDs in my games. Despite my order being 100% compatible, script-light, tesv clean, wyre bashed, memory patched, on a good rig, loot organized, mod organizer only, nexus downloads only, and under 200 mods. the first time, it was only 3 mods.
Both times, my game constantly crashes to desktop in under a minute of gameplay, occasionally giving a false positive for nif corruption. usually when taking an item or loading a new cell.
Did you install his optional CTD fix file as well? Author states that all affected were tested so should not be the cause unless you are not using the fix
Thank you insaneplumber - this mod is fantastic! I'm glad somebody finally got around to making weapons look more realistic. My only problem is that I keep having crashes with this mod installed. I haven't been able to identify the issue yet. I have over 220 mods installed, so it may be a conflict problem of some sort. At first I thought it might be the steel war hammer, because it kept crashing whenever I selected that in inventory, but later I was able to select and wield the war hammer just fine. Then I kept getting crashes at other random times that had nothing to do with one of your weapons. Literally, I would get a crash about every couple of minutes. At the time, the only two weapons from your mod that I had found in game were the steel war hammer and the iron battle axe. I had meshes and textures for both of those in game, so I don't understand what the problem could be. But after uninstalling the mod, I haven't had a crash for awhile now - about the same frequency as prior to installing this. Sorry I can't be more specific about the problem. I have no concrete evidence that your mod is the cause other than what I have said. I'm just letting you know in case there is a mesh missing somewhere or something like that. Thanks for the mod! - Oh, I forgot to mention - this happened both before and after installing version 1.2.
Install "CTD Fix for SteelBattleAxe and SteelWarHammer" from Files Tab That Fix CTD. The nature of the problem was my mistake, I forgot to change the name of one of "NiTriShape" in NIF file and this caused sporadic CTD.
Now everything will work without CTD. I checked all by a tenfold load save in a site where there are all modified weapons.
This is very much what I thought to myself when I found this. I love IPM's meshes, and couldn't figure out how I'd never come across this set also.
Now the only dilemma is choosing between his axes and De-LARPification's. I think I'd probably use De-LARP's axes and the hammers found here (sorta like using De-LARP's axes and Better Shaped Weapons' blades as many do). I'd have to compare the mesh edges side-by-side to decide though.
Encountered some weird bug with those textures - when bartering with a merchant who has one of those weapons in the stock, the game ctds when I mouse over said weapons. Crash fixes log confirms it showing was the last thing to load before the crash. Uninstalling seemed to resolve the issue.
after looking to check the maces out in game, i noticed they werent changed. is there a reason why the maces are only labeled as "left"? could i copy and paste the mace meshes and just take off the "left" and it will work in both hands?
Hello! Would you be willing to rework aMidianBorn Skyforge weapons in your style? I asked Cabal about permissions, then I realized that book of silence permissions already allow it, so it's kinda embarrassing lol. Anyways, great mod man, I'd love to see these changes made by you as well. Cheers.

Just tested it out in game. Looks like the problem is solved. Thanks! Excellent work!
Please if you encounter any more problems with the modified weapons let me know.
I don't know what Bethesda were thinking with some of the meshes, but I do know this is awesome.
