This was one of the first mods that I made. I used the base template of the steel great sword but changed the image for the Ebony Blade and damage adjusted to a Daedric great sword. I kept the steel requirement for simplicity sake. I agree that having a Ebony requirement would have been better.
This is EXCTLY what i was looking for. Since i got the Ebony Blade and couldnt really use it, your mod made my day. In my build i used the version that uses 1handed tree. And lets be honest, absorb life is in enchant on its own for those who want the original effect (in a way). Thanks a lot man
Overall it's the same concept but executed differently.
From what I can see from reading the description and comments is that, that mod directly makes changes to the Ebony Blade itself,. My mod makes a copy of the blade and has the changes made to the copy so the original ebony blade still exists in game. This way if you wanted to use the original ebony blade you do not have to uninstall my mod.
The quest to obtain the original ebony blade requires you to be at level 20, so it would be difficult to get the weapon before that where as my mod you can obtain it right at the start of the game if you would like.
My mod also does not require arcane smithing or high level specific perks like ebony or deadric smithing so it does make it easier to upgrade. Based on some of the comments on the mod page it seems like someone was having issues with the crafting and their seems to be some vagueness on some of the specifics of the mod.
I do also have an extra variety of the Ebony Blade based on peoples preferences, which more opportunities for your play style.
In the end it is personal preference on which one you would like to use. I made this mod for original Skyrim back in 2012, and just got be into Skyrim Special Edition again and wanted to bring over some of the mods I used before this way others could enjoy them as well.
