⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2012—over a decade old, so it may have compatibility issues with newer mods or game patches.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2012, check if you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex or Fallout Mod Manager to ensure proper load order.
  • If you're playing with other weapon mods, place this one in your load order after major overhauls to avoid conflicts.
  • Test the crossbow in a new game or after clearing your save's cache to avoid issues with old saves.
