SSE ISO wuuthrad mod

[Zakular]

Hi, I had been wanting to play as a female char weilding Wuuthrad and the temple of diabella perk for +10% damage to the opposite sex to deal massive damage. In non SE skyrim there is a mod that makes it so Wuuthrad is improvable and enchantable but in SE I can only find a mod that bumps the base damage by 2 points.

 

If anyone happens to already have a mod that enables Wuuthrad to be improvable would you be willing to share? Otherwise can anyone point me in the direction of were I could best learn to creat such a mod (I'm hoping it would not be TOO challenging to make such a mod and that I could figure it out)

Here are a couple of creation kit tutorials that will help you out. The first is basic acquisition of the CK and setting it up. The second will help you navigate the weapon forms and tell you a little about changing stats and such.

What you want to do is find Wuuthrad in the creation kit object window. It's called c06bladeofysgramor in the creation kit. Double click to open that, and you will see that it has no current enchantment, the extra damage to elves being accomplished by a script which links a perk for 1.2x damage when used on elves. I've never tried to enchant it, myself, so I'm at your mercy here. Usually I would expect to see a keyword like magicdisallowenchanting, as is found on Valdr's Lucky Dagger, but I don't see it on Wuuthrad. Anyway, what you want to do is look at the keyword box. You'll notice it doesn't have any weapon material noted. If my understanding is correct, that will play into how much you can improve the item, based on the perks you have. (ie: if you want it to behave like ebony, but you don't have the ebony smithing perk, you will be able to upgrade it but not as much as you could with the perk). Being what it is, you might keep it steel, like the skyforge weapons. Under where it says weaptypebattleaxe, you would right-click > add, then start typing out weapmaterialsteel. It should autofill, as you type.

 

Whichever material you decide on, the easiest way to make a recipe (lets you create item) or temper (lets you improve item) is to find the recipe or temper of a similar item, in this case a steel or skyforge steel battleaxe. (They both appear the same.) The safe way to do this is to type temperweapon into the search box, and narrow the list down. When you find one, right-click > duplicate. Then double click on the duplicate, give it a unique name, (ie: temperweaponbladeofysgramor) and then use the drop down box in the top right corner, to change "created object" to c06bladeofysgramor. Hit ok and, since you are working on a dup, answer "no" to creating a new form. If you said yes, you would then have a new, new form, as well as an empty dup. You would say yes, if you were using the faster/less safe way, of double clicking on an existing form, changing what you want, then saving as a new form. Quick but riskier.

 

What you should have done, now, is told the creation kit to consider Wuuthrad a steel battleaxe (steel vs skyforge steel seems to be determined only by a few extra damage points in the ck) and to allow the player to upgrade Wuuthrad at a grinding wheel, using steel. You can also add to the materials needed to upgrade, if you wish. If you want to be able to forge your own Wuuthrad, you would repeat that same temper process with an existing recipe, such as recipeweaponsteelbattleaxe. If you choose to use the recipe for the skyforgebattleaxe, you will see the recipe, unlike the temper, attempts to determine whether the player has the skyforge smithing perk. If you want to only be able to create your Wuuthrad at the Skyforge, that's the one you'd want to duplicate. Otherwise, dup the steel battleaxe recipe and create it at any forge.

 

The two tutorials and a little bit of playing around in ck should put you where you need to be. Don't be afraid to scrap a mod and start over, especially starting out.
