Yea upon looking into it further seems to be that. Some tools when I spawn them in seem to read right and give the reforge model. But making a head in game or attaching them to a toolsmith handle etc turns into the vanilla models. Interesting it does that for you though. It uses the reforged models for tools at least which have been rendering fine for me since I started this playthrough. Could it be worth me saying to the toolsmith mod creator? Seems like something that might be easier to compat their end :)

Toolsmith makes some pretty big changes to the tool system. When I install it, it reverts all tools to the vanilla models, though if I understand correctly the latest update does some trickery to dynamically construct the tool appearance... Might be a lot of work, but maybe I'll look into it at some point.

Hey, have this downloaded along with meteoric steel and reforged tools but it's still base game models for me for some reason :/ Working fine for meteoric iron though and also the colour change too. I also have toolsmith installed which also already uses reforged tools models so don't know if that is why? Any help would be appreciated cause its cool af :)
