Hello, I stopped using a bow and arrow since I don't know when because it was tedious that in the middle of a battle, if I took out the bow to try to kill someone, I would end up shooting the iron arrows and not the Daedric ones that I had such a hard time getting. Now I'm used to the bound bow, in the future next new game I'll try it, it's going to be loaded in MO2, thanks for the idea and sharing it
Is there a way to just not auto equip arrows at all? I always keep about a thousand endgame tier arrows with me and equipped. But for some reason, the game decides to change my arrows every time I swap to my bow. So I keep getting crap arrows instead of my exploding ones.
a little late but surely you have already noticed that the mod probably works well, the problem is that the game does not know that the arrow explodes until it is activated, let's imagine that these arrows that explode have 9 base damage, then any arrow will always be better. Whether they explode is a separate issue.
You probably already know or don't care anymore, but just in case you don't and you do care (and for anyone who just happens to be on this page), it has an SE/AE equivalent.
There's some mod conflicting with this, as when I equip a bow I can see the best arrows get equipped for a second before being switched for iron arrows (the worst I have). The only mod I can think might be conflciting is Auto Unequip Ammo but previous comments claim they both work fine. DAE get this problem?
Edit: Can confirm AUA is the source of the issue as disabling it stops arrows from reverting to the weakest ones. Any idea how to get around this?
That appears to be a feature of AUA: "This mod will automatically unequip ammo when ranged weapon is unequipped and equip the same ammo back when you equip the ranged weapon again." So either you had the weak arrows active the last time you unequipped your bow or that mod hasn't correctly recorded which arrows were equipped. Try manually equipping your desired arrows, then unequipping your bow and when you reequip it, AUA should force equip the new arrows. Scripted mods will always take priority over this one since they are designed to override regular game behavior (let the game do its thing, then do what the mod wants) while this mod directly changes what the game will do in the first place.
I got really excited and then realized this won't work in SE. But if what you did was modify a pre-existing script, it should be easy to edit the one from the SE or VR version of the game and save it. What is the name of the original source script? I'll make an SE version right now.
*EDIT* Nevermind. For some reason I was thinking papyrus. Oh well.
Once I get to porting my mods this should be one of the most simple and therefore earliest to come to SSE. I intend to switch from LE soon-ish so I hope to release my conversions early next year.
I made the switch this year and I´m not looking back, the only mods I missed are all of your skse plugins and Enhanced camera, everything else is better, and performance is awesome (no more CTDs for me)
There is a chance that NOT Pick the best arrow,instead pick the immediate better than the one that is finished, this is because my best arrows are highly destructive (damage number) and difficult to get, so I only use them with highly dangerous enemies.
