So, I made a little mod that adds a gilded sword to the game. I'm apparently not allowed to post links here, so here's the url:
skyrim dot nexusmods dot com/mods/20879
This was just a little practice thing, I'm working on something bigger as well.
Making gold look realistic is hard, but I think I was fairly successful, what do you think?

For the lazy, the link is http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/20879
You'll be able to post links after a certain number of posts. I think it's 10, although it may have gone up...
Anyway, looks good. You should put a couple more pictures, for example of it sheathed, and perhaps dropped on the ground.

Your sword is nice but I didnt like the "for the lazy" comment....providing a direct working link is the usual practice, if you consider it lazy that is your problem
