About this mod
This patch provides improved compatibility and visual consistency by correctly positioning crossbow bolts from Rare Curios and Requiem - The Roleplaying Overhaul when these mods are used together with Belt-Fastened Quivers. It ensures that the bolts appear properly attached to the character’s belt, maintaining both immersion and functionality. The adjustments are designed to align the bolt models with the custom placement system introduced by Belt-Fastened Quivers, preventing clipping issues and enhancing the overall aesthetic integration of crossbow-related gear in your modded setup.
Credits:
This mod is based on the original Crossbow Bolt Adjustments for Belt-fastened Quivers - Vanilla and Rare Curious Bolts All crossbow bolt values were taken from that mod.
Note:
It's important to understand that achieving perfectly accurate placement of crossbow bolts and arrows in the game is simply not possible due to limitations of the engine and the character animation system. The way body models, armor, and skeletons are structured makes it difficult to align projectiles in a way that looks natural in every situation.
This mod does improve the visual placement to some extent, but it cannot fully eliminate the issue of “floating” bolts during movement. The core of the problem lies in how Bethesda originally set up the attachment point for crossbow bolt quivers — instead of positioning them on the hip, where they would logically belong (as with regular arrows), they are anchored to the spine.
As a result, when the character moves, the quiver and bolts follow the motion of the upper back rather than the lower body, causing noticeable visual inconsistencies — especially while walking or running. Unfortunately, this is a technical limitation that can only be partially worked around without breaking the animation system for crossbow reloads and shooting.
Recommendations:
Belt-Fastened Quivers - Elder Scroll Fix Highly recommended for better immersion — this mod fixes the placement of Serana's Elder Scroll when using Belt-Fastened Quivers.
