A simple MESH replacer (no esp) that gives the statue of Talos a Greatsword rather than that toothpick he was holding - for a more warrior-like Talos statue.
I like the Talos statue, a good thing considering how many there are scattered across Skyrim, but I never liked the little sword he was holding. I also don't really like the shape of the serpent's head so I reshaped it. I've had this in my house mod for a long time but this mod will replace all Talos statues in Skyrim, including mods unless they didn't use the vanilla statue.
INSTALL: Use the included installer (requires NMM or one of the other mod managers), or install manually if you like. Choose a statue mesh and a sword. There is NO ESP file, so this won't affect your load order or plugin count.
OPTIONS:
Low-poly statue mesh: Vanilla Talos statue with minor snake edits (the above image uses this), or
High-poly statue mesh: (recommended) I've created my own smoother statue version that was manually edited to maintain the vanilla form and prevent texture distortion.
PLUS:
Iron Greatsword, or
Steel Greatsword, or
Silver Greatsword, or
Nord Hero Greatsword, or
Dragonbone Greatsword (Dawnguard)
COMPATIBILITY: Will only conflict with other Talos statue MESH replacers, compatible with everything else!
To use with StunningStatues/TerrificTalos: use my Hi-Poly version, overwrite SS/TT, it will use their textures.
For the snow-covered statue of No Snow Under the Roofuse the NSUtR option in the installer (high-poly only). Pick a sword option and overwrite the NSUtR mesh. Not used in the SE version of NSUtR - see sticky post.
CREDIT: The included sword textures are modified versions of vanilla or CaBaL120's BoS greatsword textures, used here with permission. The greatsword meshes are the reshaped models from my Better-Shaped Weapons mod.
PERMISSIONS: You can use these meshes in your House or Dungeon/Quest mod, just add me to the credits please.
