I lol'd. ? I don't follow. I decided to get the exact % of increase that a 1 hander gets from grind stone (they all differ though depending on make) and then using player.setav smithing (400 for example) to get the same % increase on the 2 handed variant. I don't cheat at all, I only mod. But, I feel that it isnt cheating to put the 2 handed wpns in line with 1 handed grind stone upgrades.

bump please

Yep. I haven't found a thread anywhere discussing this. Ruins any reason to use a two handed weapon. Wondering If I should just get the exact % increase from 1 handed increase and then player.setav smithing to a bogus number to match the % gain to make it equivalent so it scales properly

I have tested on Ebony and Daedric weapons with max perks in smithing,one handed, and two handed. The one handed weapons can be improved on grindstones by over 2x and two handed weapons only 1.5x. Both styles should scale accordingly. If you look at base damages before using the grindstone... two handed weapons are almost double damage that of their one handed counterpart. After using grindstone... two handed weapons don't even do an extra 1/3 vs their one handed counterparts. Has anybody else come to this conclusion? Or is something wrong with my game?

I tried to swap the 3 nif files of nighingale for ebony helmet and its a 2d image. In game it makes me have an invisible head. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

Wow, thanks for the fast replies guys. I think ill give it a shot. I had seen the bear mod but didnt realize it was the same concept.

Is it possible to make (for example) Heavy Dragon Armor look like Nightingale Armor by renaming files?

I would like to know if there is a way. I could of sworn I read somewhere how to do it when I was not interested. Now that I am interested, I can not find it. I have looked for over 3 hours for a way. Does anybody know?
