Expanded Silver Weapon Integration

The Silver Sword and Long Sword are unique and interesting weapons that were underutilized in the vanilla game. ESWI is trying to integrate them further into Skyrim in a natural way so that they are no longer just for Silver Hand.

Members of the Dawnguard now have access to silver swords and greatswords, and several can be found within their headquarters.

Silver Swords and/or Longswords can be hand-placed in the following specific locations: Endon's House, Erin's House, Erikul's House, Gray Man's House and Clan Shattered Shield House.

Eorland and Gunmar can now sell them.

Stendal's guardians may wield them instead of the usual maces (although their maces have not been completely removed).

Solsheim's Redoran Guards now use silver weapons, just like in Morrowind.

That's it - install and have fun with the mod manager of your choice. This should be compatible with most other mods. It is not marked as ESL as it will need to compress the FormID. I don't expect to have to do this for future updates, but if you really need the plugin space you can do it yourself in xEdit. Enjoy, friends.

One final note: If you made a patch using Wrye Bash and noticed that the vigilante was carrying two weapons (e.g. a silver sword and a mace) instead of just one, then WB may have forwarded the USSEP's alternative mace tier list. Removing the patch from xEdit's "Patches" should resolve the issue.

Thanks to Pierre Despereaux for the idea. :>

That's about it. Install with your mod manager of choice and have fun. This should be compatible with most other mods. It's not flagged as an ESL because it would require compacting FormIDs; I don't like to do that for the sake of future updates, but you can do it yourself in xEdit if you really need the plugin space. Enjoy, friends.

As a final note: If you use Wrye Bash to make a Bashed Patch and notice that Vigilants are carrying two weapons (ex. one silver sword AND one mace) instead of just one, WB may have forwarded the other mace leveled list from USSEP. Remove that from the Bashed Patch in xEdit, and that will fix it.
