About this mod
When VAE combine With Vibrant Weapons, a complete overhaul expansion of Vibrant Weapons System with some extended Art from Visual Animated enchants
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Donations
and definitive expansion for the enchantments of weapons.
The mod combine the system of Vibrant Weapons with the unique Visual art of VAE.
In this way there would not be problem of compability
as VWE use Vibrant Weapons as Master and it is build as VW functionality.
If you like something more easy check V.A.E.R.

Why the mod is in WIP ?!
Using VW features will allow the mod to have any double enchant visual correct for every weapons, this was something not possible with VAE due to the way Skyrim Engine was considering the enchanting system, considering now the all effects status you can immagine the amount of combination possible and so the amount of work to do! i will anyway try to cover all the combination that the community will request.
Other than this the mod covers most of the unique Artifacts ( with a single unique Art effect like in VAE ), with future updates i would like to cover all AE artifacts ( where is possible).
All shaders have been redone and are almost unique for every effect.
The mod at the moment covers all effects status:
Absorb Health
Magicka
Stamina
Damage Magicka
Stamina
Fear
Banish
SoulTrap
Paralyze
TurnUndead
And cover the Art of some artifacts and special Weapons like:
Rune (Dawnguard Weapons )
Molagbal maze
Harkon's Sword
Ebony Blace
Chilldren sword
Dragon Bane
Moon Weapons
The mod will follow the same rules as Vibrant Weapons
- Affects melee weapons only
- The effects will not fit to just any weapon. They adapt to the type of the weapon, not to its exact shape. The effects are modelled after Believable weapons, but any weapons of similar shape (LeanWolf's, e.g.) should look good. If any particular weapon looks really bad, you can forbid the mod from adding effects to it by use of an in-game Lesser Power.
- Multiple lights do not stack (when dual wielding). They are technically Light spells, and the game only shows the strongest one. They also do not stack with the Candlelight spell, or any other spell or ability that uses the Light archetype. However, they do stack with a carried torch.
Installation:
- SKSE must be installed -
1) first of all you need to have this mod Installed Vibrant Weapons
otherwise the Expansion will not work
2) download Vibrant Weapons Expansion with your manager and installed it as a normal mod
activate the 2 ESL of this mod
the mod will over write some generic files ( Gradients for shaders )
3) Load Order:
Vibrant Weapons is a master so must be over my 2 Esl
VweaponsALL.Esl
VibrantWeaponsExpansion.Esl
Compatible with NOLVUS5. 2
Frequent questions:
- Why there are 2 Esl?
- Actually VweaponsALL.Esl is part of the very old work, but it was impossible to delete ( if someone would do that please let me know anyway is flagged Esl )
- Why It is not possible to have mutliple Enchant visual on weapons?
- As i mentioned before the mod is WIP and before dig into multiple visual i would prefer to see which combination effects the community use more than others to give a priority
- Why some effects are visually off?
- JG1 the author of Vibrant Weapons, explained correctly that this depends on the shape of the weapons and suggested to use Believable Weapons
- Is this mod compatible with other mods like Summermyst, ect.. ect.. ?
- You need to create a patch to make this mod work correctly with other mods like Summermyst
- Why this mod is not using the Recent Vibrant Weapons Framework?
- consulting with JG1 and at the moment i was working to this mod, Framework was not working correctly for VW so i used the old scripted version that is more solid, is it possible that in the future i will convert it to Framework
When indicate a bug please add a picture so that i can have a visual on it.
Consider also that this is an Hobby, not my main occupation and i don't live on creating mods, so everything need time and sometimes gets slow depending on real life troubles (work, personal life..ect ect).
Main big thank you goes to JG1 for creating the wonderful Vibrant Weapons
and also to guide me in the process of the creation of this expansion, answering to all my questions about how his mod works.
