📋 About This Mod

All modules also affect the NPCs, so expect the game to be a bit more challenging.

Skyrim Style Weapons All arrows and bolts have 0 weight, and the damage range has been added to the name, the same way "Show Ammo Damage" in SmartMerger does it. For darts, stars and throwing knives I created a spreadsheet based on minimal internet research. Basically I used information in what weight range a real counterpart would be, and forced TES materials into that. Mostly it just means reduced weight. The big exception are the throwing knives that are now roughly twice as heavy, but deal double the original damage. The damage change is partly to compensate for the added weight, and because it made no sense to me that a knife does less damage than a dart...

TLDR Arrows and bolts don't weigh anything. Darts, stars and throwing knives have been fudged about with a weighting table.

All Modules All of the above merged into one plugin. You don't need any of the other plugins if you decided to use this one.

known issues: Items without weight hide their value. I don't know of any workaround.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 1,419 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads — clearly a lot of players trust it.
  • Modular approach means you only install the tweaks you want, no bloat.
  • Faster projectiles and weightless arrows are quality-of-life improvements that make archery and magic feel snappier.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2014 — likely incompatible with Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without patches.
  • Only covers projectile speed, recovery, and weight — no other gameplay changes, so it's a narrow fix.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want to tweak combat feel without overhauling the whole game. If you're an archer or mage who hates slow projectiles and heavy arrows, this is for you. Skip if you want a comprehensive combat overhaul or play on a modern Skyrim version without modding experience.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod is from 2014, check if it works with your Skyrim version (Oldrim vs Special Edition) — you may need to convert it with the Creation Kit.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and easily remove individual modules if something feels off.
  • If you're playing on Special Edition, look for a port or use the 'SSE Conversion' guide to make it compatible.
