DESCRIPTION
Tidy Arrow organizes all your arrows onto the top of your inventory for easier access.  There are three variations, each with optional Shivering Isles support.

OPTIONS
-Tidy Arrows (Vanilla Stats)

Useful for players who just want their inventory reorganized.  This stays closest to the original Bethesda gameplay while still making navigation and management easier.

-Tidy Arrows (Buffed Stats)
Useful for players who want Archer based characters.  This option includes organized names, a slight buff to bows, a modest buff to enchanted arrows, and a moderate buff to unenchanted arrows.  (Full details below)

-Untidy Arrows (Buffed Stats)
Useful for players who are used to searching for their arrows by their original names, yet still want access to the archery buffs.
 


FORMAT
All arrows follow this naming convention: "Arrow - <Type> (<Effect>)".
So, for example an "Iron Arrow" would become "Arrow - Iron", but a "Arrow of Flames" would be "Arrow - Elven (Flames)".  This was done so the player could better determine the damage potential of an arrow simply by reading its name.  It also effectively allows the player to know what type of Arrow/Quiver one will be using without having to purchase it.  Potentially useful for Roleplayers.

FORMULA
Below is a detailed breakdown of how the various buffs were added.  This formula was taken more as a guideline, than absolute rule so there are some slight exceptions depending on the nature of the various arrows being altered.  For those interested, there's a less confusing breakdown which you can read at your leisure in the gallery.

cost-> 0.73 (30 and above)

F.A.Q.
-Who Is This For?

Tidy Arrows was first started as a project for myself.  Only recently have I been asked to make this public, so I've decided to make it accessible to everyone on the Nexus.  It's obviously designed for anyone who fights with a bow, but it's also useful for players who don't want arrows cluttering up their inventory.  I was originally annoyed by not being able to tell how much ammo I had left on one screen, and there wasn't a mod that I felt properly rebalanced the archery system.  Tidy Arrow is my attempt to fix these issues and I hope you enjoy it!

-Which File Should I Download?
I suggest using the OMOD version and install through OBMM.  There's a custom installer which will walk you through your choices.  If you're more comfortable using another manager that's fine, I've left options for manual installation as well.

-Why Did You Make The Arrows Weightless?
Weightless arrows are only found in the buffed versions of the mod.  For users who want a more traditional experience I suggest downloading the vanilla stats version.  Coming from Skyrim I felt that having to manage weight put an additional handicap on ranged based characters.  This limitation forced a playstyle of getting up close and personal, and while that does have its appeal Bethesda games are about choice.  In that spirit there should be enough options to satisfy everyone.

-Will This Break TIBs COMPACT QUIVERS?
No, this mod works perfectly with Compact Quivers.  Because CQ only alters meshes and textures, there are no conflicts with the changes made with the Tidy Arrows plugin files.

-What About Other Mods That Overhaul Archery?
It's a pretty good bet, conditionally.  Any archery mod that effects damage, speed, or range will most certainly be overwritten by Tidy Arrows.  That said if the overhaul effects the "Marksmanship" level and progression, then it /should/ work.

-Why Do The Enemies Seem More Powerful?
Increasing the potential damage output from archery is a mixed blessing.  While you'll be hitting harder from a distance, so will everyone else.  This makes it a much more dangerous and effective tactic on both sides.  Unlike other mods arrow speed hasn't been increased, so you should be able to dodge incoming projectiles easily with a bit of practice.
