STORY BEHIND

When I used a bow in the game for the first time, I was extremely frustrated, because especially at the beginning, when bow and hunting are not yet skilled, it is difficult to hit the target. Since many other players seemed to have similar problems (I watched a lot of Twitch streamers), I got the idea for this mod.

DESCRIPTION

The design of the mod has been revised and is now modular. You can choose between four different main versions and add more functionality to these with the optional files. The four main versions use different values for the individual parameters of the bow and the flight behavior of the arrows. You can only choose one of the four main versions. It is not possible to use two or more at the same time. They would overwrite each other.

Features

  • Reduced aiming spread
  • Less stamina consumption when aiming
  • Lower zoom base skill but higher zoom
  • Improved bow power charge duration
  • Increased painless delay
  • Three different arrow presets (control of flight behavior in terms of range and speed)
  • Modular Design (Main Mod + Addons)

Modules

Main Files

  • Simplified Archery | Bow Only - Only bow params are modified, no changes to the arrows
  • Simplified Archery | Faster Arrows - Higher ranged and faster arrows
  • Simplified Archery | Near perfect Arrows - Overall perhaps the most realistic attempt to adjust bow params and arrow flight bahavior.
  • Simplified Archery | Ultimate Realism Overhaul - Another attempt of a realistic overhaul.

Addons

All addons can be used without one of the main files

  • Simplified Archery | Bow Dot Rectile - Button assignment for the bow dot reticle.
  • Simplified Archery | Bow Perks - Adds perks for bow.
  • Simplified Archery | Colored Arrow Feathers - Different colored arrow feathers.
  • Simplified Archery | More Rabbits - Spawns more rabbits in the wild.
  • Simplified Archery | No arrow trails - Removes arrow trails.

NOTE

All params changed by this mod effects also all npc archers. If you do a lot of bow tournaments you will not win that easy. If a bandit/cuman/guard hit’s you with a modified arrow you will quickly recognize it!
