I'm quite busy until Christmas/New Year so if someone wants to make a SkyRe Patch (guess you have to add material keywords and add it to the database) - you're welcome.
As you may have noticed the texture quality might not be as good as my other Weapon Pack (made from scratch), that's because i used original vanilla objects/shapes/textures to stitch together new weapons, so the mod is bound to the textures you've installed. Therefor i would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to use HD textures, as mentioned in the mod description. It's more or less a little fun project like my helmet mod so i won't spend too much time on each single item.
Maybe not the right mod for HD fetish or screenshot poser, but i guess it's a nice addition for people that focus on immersion and/or play in 3rd person - it will look nice on NPCs for sure.
UPDATE 1.1: Since there were no complains 'bout the leveled list test .esp i assume that it works so i integrated it to version 1.1
Added to leveled list so bandits / Foresworn that normally use iron weapons might use them as well - be aware that the frequency of Horker weapons depends on other mods you've installed...if you are using 20 weapon packs that all are added to the lvl list the chance is pretty low to see a Horker weapon.
Optional ESP added
One version of Horker Weapons craftable at forge:misc, dmg based on vanilla weapon categories, bandits/forsworn use an own version (Battered Horker Weapons based on IRON weapon stats)
Please don't spam the comment section with requests, i'm too busy atm.
A great mod that adds a good set of weapons that clearly fits the world of Skyrim. Perfect if you (role)play as a Bosmer hunter or ranger that respects the Green Pact.
its a great weapon pack and looks like it should have been in the game from the start . i only have one problem with it . i make the weapons and i can only upgrade the more powerful ones to flawless . there great weapon's but they should be able to upgrade to legendary on there own without potions . i dont know if thats a glich or not just thought id tell you in case it was .
If I were to install this and, after testing, uninstalled, would this affect Hunterborn? I'm asking since HB seems to use some of your meshes and textures (bone dagger, bone arrows etc), and I am very wary of mods getting tangled up. That's how I wrecked my game back when I didn't know better.
Immersive, indeed! But if you use Automatic Variants and Dual Sheath Redux... the patches that those mods require you to run after installing new mods will NOT allow you to run your game without this mod, once its installed. ANY mod that distributes weapons to leveling classes of NPC's will render themselves PERMANENT FIXTURES in your game, if you rely on the 2 aforementioned patches to set things right before using Wrye Bash and LOOT (which is highly recommended.)
Think carefully on whether you want to have this FOREVER... or not.
Sorry, alphakay1488... I was distracted this past week.
Of course, if you followed those steps you could rid yourself of the dependencies. I guess I was being presumptuous in assuming that people would understand that I meant continuing on with a current character build and the save files pertaining to that character was not possible when using the aforementioned mods combined, due to this mod pack's dependency issues. Its been my experience that any mod that distributes leveled list changes to NPCs and supplies them with modified (non-vanilla) weaponry is NOT advisable.
Times have changed. Since the time I posted the comment in question, I have come to realize that trying to use game save cleaning tools to rid a current playthrough of orphan scripts is not a cure-all solution. There is no guarantee that some form of corruption will still exist afterwards.
My suggestion would be to keep a backup of Skyrim's default executable files via Steam and make a folder to keep copies of all of your in-game saves. That way, even if a situation is so dire that it warrants removing EVERYTHING related to the issues, you can still reload an unmodified version of Skyrim and the saves from your backup folder which was taken BEFORE you installed a problematic mod. Copy the game save you want to use from your back up folder and paste it in the This PC/Documents/My Games/Skyrim/Saves/(your character folder). Just be sure that you don't rely on a save file that requires mods that no longer exist in your load order.
Rule of thumb- SAVE OFTEN! Also, be very choosy about what kind of mods and tools you decide to take a chance on. Its always a gamble. I would suggest limiting yourself to one patcher, like Dual Sheath Redux, if you like to use mods that apply those animation adjustments. I would also not recommend using older mods that are no longer supported or maintained.
Keep in mind, you don't need to delete all the mods from the NMM to proceed with such a drastic measure. Simply disable all the plugins with the one click button feature in NMM and remove the unwanted mod(s) from the NMM. Then get rid of any patchers you don't want. Reinstall Skyrim (if you must), re-enable the plugins in your load order and run the desktop tools to make sure that all file dependencies are present in the box in the lower right hand corner of the LOOT desktop tool.
FTR- I am not a "pro"... I learned everything I know about modifying Skyrim on my own and it was my first PC gaming experience. Trial and error is a very bumpy path and I was very gracious for what little help was offered to me in this community. So nothing I say can be taken as "the gospel truth". A lot of people might have different suggestions (many of which might be unpleasant or maliciously misguiding). Another suggestion- read up on the mods that interest you before trying them out. Take a look at the author's activity level... how often do they respond to queries? What kind of comments are others leaving? Have there been unresolved bug reports? Be a mod detective, for your own benefit. When in doubt... DON'T!
Does the latest version of this include the bow and crossbow from (http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/47831/?)? What about options for the arrow/bolt recipe addons?

You have been warned.
