I've been using this mod for years. Last night I encountered a problem with it for the first time. With Ordinator installed (yeah, I'm just now getting around to trying Ordinator) the bound pickaxe apparently doesn't count as a pickaxe anymore. When trying to mine with it I get the "You must have a pickaxe" message. So I guess for this playthrough I'm back to carrying around a normal pickaxe.
I realize you're probably not maintaining it anymore, but I figured I'd let you know anyway.
You should try Bound Armory Extravaganza. It apparently works with Ordinator and has the pickaxe, among other bound weapons not found in vanilla game (e.g. bound daedric crossbow).
It seems like I'm having another problem. After installing this mod my conjuration skill stopped levelling. I can still learn from teachers, but casting spells does nothing. Bound sword, summon familiar and atronach - nothing is working. Please help! I don't want to lose 30 hours of progress in my game.
Conjuration skill increasing only if spell casted in combat state, or if spell casted before combat but after casting conjured creature attacks at least one enemy, or after you attacks at least one enemy with bound weapon. Bound tools dont increase conjuration because they casted not in combat and not for usage in combat.
Is it possible to do 2 things 1 - Make the Spell 1 and have Bound Tools Summon as Dual'd cause I tried dual'd Bound Tools and notice it has no error and can do exactly what needs to be done (If I dual Chop & Pick then press action the tool required is used) 2 - I think there is a mod that has you require things like Smith Hammer, etc is it possible to have the Tools float around character then use it when action is taken?
This seems to be working for me. I have the latest Skyrim version as of 2014-Sept-9 with all expansions + unofficial patches while also using Hunterborn, Frostfall, and Skyre.
You have to have to conjure the tool first before trying the action.
The conjuration skill still levels up with this mod installed, a user reported to have their conjuration stop leveling.
In Frostfall, you can't use the conjured axe to gather firewood out in the wilderness.
In Skyre, I don't know if it gains any bonuses that the conjuration tree gives to conjured weapons, though you shouldn't be fighting with these tools anyway.
Is this still variable to use? And more so, will it work fine for / is it compatible with Frostfall, SkyRe, Hunterborn and other Survival Mods out there?
I just want to say that this mod actually works fine for me, both the bound pickax and axe works as intended for me, as well as conjuration leveling; I got Skyrim version 1.9 and all DLC expansions (Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn) + all the unofficial patches for them all. I also haven't experienced any CTD's.
Those of you having issues probably have conflicting mods. I dunno. :/ Remember conjuration can only be leveled by spell casting while mobs are present. And of course, also remember to actually summon the axe or pickax before you try to chop or mine.
As of Skyrim 1.5 (or so) Bethesda changed the object ID for the woodcutter's axe. Bound Woodcutter axes will no longer work because of this. :'(
For the people experiencing CTDs, here's a workaround:
1) Put all of your items in a safe container. 2) Write down the non-removable quest items still in your inventory. 3) Write down all active effects on your character (It should be accessible in Magic- Stuff like Werewolf disease resistance, Agent of Dibella, Nightingale buffs, etc.). You'll need them later. 4) Save. **DO NOT QUICKSAVE** Create a real save file. This will be your lifeline in case something was forgotten. 5) Open the console (Press the ` key) 6) Type in player.recycleactor, then ENTER. You'll know it worked if you're wearing armor suddenly. 7) Use the console command 'player.addspell' to restore all of the Active effects you lost. A list can be found here: http://www.mmo-game.eu/lists-all-spells-enchants-magic-effects/ Use the console command 'player.additem' to regain any lost quest items. 9) Get all your items back from the safe container. 10) Get dressed! It's chilly in Skyrim. BRR.. 11) Save again. **DO NOT OVERWRITE THE PREVIOUS SAVE FILE**
12) Try casting bound sword. Exhale in relief as you don't CTD.
Don't know if you're still monitoring this or not - not sure what my issue is - found the books fine, learned the spells fine, even conjured the woodcutter's axe up. But everytime I go to chop wood with it the game just tells me that I need a woodcutter's axe.
These bad boys and crashing like crazy after the 1.6 patch for me. I have tried a LOT of things to fix the issue but no luck so far. Would it be possible for you to try to rebuild that mod in the latest CK patch as there were a lot o upgrades made for it and hopefully this is one of them. Thx D13
