====== Overview: ======
This mod updates remnantsoldier's excellent Craftable Crossbows and Bolts mod to add support for the new crossbow bolts added by the "Rare Curios" Creation Club DLC. Does not require the original mod.
The original mod options/flavors are still the same:
- Standard (bolts and ammo, as well as Dawnguard crossbows, can be crafted without needing to be in the Dawnguard.)
- Standard x2 (same as standard, but you craft 20 bolts instead of 10. my preferred option.)
- Immersive (bolts and ammo, as well as Dawnguard crossbows, can be crafted, but you need to be a Dawnguard member and do the "Ancient Technology" quest(s) to be able to make the enhanced crossbow variants or the enchanted steel/dwarven bolts.)
- Immersive x2 (same as normal immersive, but you craft 20 bolts instead of 10.)
- Ars Metallica (bolts and ammo, as well as Dawnguard crossbows, can be crafted without needing to be in the Dawnguard. Recipes for the new bolts are adjusted to reflect AM's bolt crafting recipes (which require x1 leather strips and x3 crafting feathers, in addition to their original materials).)
Also includes the respective flavors of Immersive and x2 variants for Ars Metallica. Requires the original Ars Metallica mod to work.
The newly added Creation Club bolts (bonemold, corkbulb, iron, orcish, and silver bolts) by default, all still require the Dawnguard faction to be joined to be available for crafting, this updated mod sets those bolts to be also craftable regardless if you're in the Dawnguard or not (just like the original mod). Their other crafting requirements are left UNCHANGED from the original CC crafting recipes (other than the x2 options also making 20 bolts for the new recipes):
- Bonemold Bolts: Craftable at any forge with firewood and 10 bonemeal, requires "Steel Smithing"
- Corkbulb Bolts: Craftable at any forge with firewood and 1 corkbulb root (purchased from khajiit caravans), no perk requirement
- Iron Bolts: Craftable at any forge with firewood and 1 iron ingot, no perk requirement
- Orcish Bolts: Craftable at any forge with firewood and 1 orcish ingot, requires "Orcish Smithing"
- Silver Bolts: Craftable at any forge with firewood and 1 silver ingot, no perk requirement
The crafting recipes for the new crossbows added by the "Elite Crossbows" CC and the "Expanded Crossbows Pack" CC are not included with this mod, as they can already be crafted on their own without the requirement of being in the Dawnguard:
- "Elite Crossbows" CC requirements to craft Ebony and Elven crossbows:
- Complete the "Night Hunter" quest (added by the creation, found in Ironback Hideout west of Solitude, started by reading a note near the area) then after the quest you can craft Ebony and Elven crossbows (as well as their enhanced versions) at any forge.
- "Expanded Crossbows Pack" CC requirements to craft various crossbows (Silver, Orcish, Nordic, Imperial, Glass, Dragonbone, Daedric, Stalhrim):
- Can be crafted at any forge, however the enhanced variants can only be crafted by purchasing each respective crossbow from the "Fletcher" shop in Solitude
- Stalhrim crossbows can only be crafted after the "A New Source of Stalhrim" quest is completed (found on Solstheim, in the Skaal Village later in the Dragonborn questline)
The "Arcane Archer Pack" CC doesn't have any new bolts with it, and thus this mod won't do anything for it either (even then, all of it's arrows are already found on merchants, enemies, or are crafted anyway).
====== Installation: ======
Requires the "Rare Curios" Creation Club DLC ("ccbgssse037-curios.esl" ; post-AE update patches of SSE come with this creation free), as well as all of the base DLC included with SSE. Designed for SSE patch 1.6.640.0, but will very likely work with older/downgraded versions of the game just fine (assuming the CC itself works with the previous versions of the game), as well as potential newer versions of SSE.
Install the FOMOD archive with your mod manager of choice (Vortex, MO2, etc.), and select only ONE of the options. Includes updated support for the Ars Metallica mod by Arthmoor (with the new bolts also set to require the same extra materials as steel/dwarven bolts), select those option(s) if you're using their mod along with this one.
The mod can technically be installed manually (by extracting the .esp for the version you want into your \Skyrim Special Edition\Data folder, and activating it), but using a FOMOD compatible mod manager is highly recommended, to be able to choose your specific version.
To uninstall: Uninstall the .esp. This mod should technically be safe to uninstall mid-save, but as per usual it's not a recommended practice. If you do so, do at your own risk.
Will conflict with any mods that change the crafting recipes for the Rare Curios bolts, and potentially other mods that edit the original Dawnguard crossbow/bolt recipes as well. If not sure, just have this mod load later in your load order.
