About this mod Machine translation
Update: If you're wondering why the sword doesn't look that good, I know why. I was in a hurry when uploading and didn't set the shader to an environment map and some of the texture paths were wrong.
Fully refined scabbards from LeanWolf's Nightingale Blade and Thieves' Guild
Update: Bows and arrows can be purchased from
What's this?
Full texture for LeanWolf's skinny version of the Nightingale questline weapon. I darkened the blade and reflector to better suit the Night Blade theme, and gave the sword a new black leather grip. I smoothed the normals on the blade section to give it a nicer look and added a Damascus type pattern to the reflection map. I also added a nice stingray skin wrap to the base of the blade for a quiet sheath.
I also took the texture of Tamriel's smaller moon, Secunda, and replaced the inscription on the hilt. I added a shimmering glow, similar to a lunar eclipse that can be seen from certain angles.
As an optional download, I'm going to add three possible textures to the files section so you can decide which sword you want to use. These three files will represent the three main choices you make as you complete the quest line, and will determine which moon symbol is used on the weapon. The full moon is fight, the half moon is trickery, and the new moon is invisible.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
