📋 About This Mod

Auto equips and unequips shield or arrows when drawing or sheathing weapon. =====REQUIRES OBSE========= There are other mods of this type available, I know. However, there\'s an issue with doing a script of this type on ammunition (arrows). It\'s not a bug with the other mods, it\'s more something that the game engine was not designed to handle. The problem comes in using player.itemequip on an arrow - it only equips one at a time. This is fine, until you pick up or loot another arrow of the same type. Normally, if you have 1 arrow equipped/readied and, for instance.. 5 in your inventory.. and you loot another arrow of the same type, you\'ll have 2 arrows equipped and 5 still in the inventory. Still, this is fine. The problem comes when you fire an arrow while you\'ve got more than one readied - the game engine will delete whatever\'s left in your inventory. You\'ll be left with 1 arrow equipped and 0 waiting in bags to be used. This mod adds a workaround to that problem - it keeps a current count of your arrows and returns any that are deleted to you. When you first activate this mod, you will be given a lesser power that will allow you to configure the script. After you choose a setting, you must equip your shield and weapon, then sheath the weapon, to save the setting. The same goes for arrows, you must ready your bow, then equip a stack of arrows, then \"sheath\" your bow. This mod will not track and auto switch arrows for you - if you actually burn through all of your arrows of one type, you will need to open your inventory and select another type of arrow. Fair warning: this is very much in beta stage. Please let me know if you encounter issues, it was a learning experience for me to build this as it is. I would like to give credit to Yumetsubasa for his mod that inspired me to create this one.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Check if your game version matches the mod's era—this is from 2010, so it may not work on newer patches.
  • Test it with your current load order to see if it conflicts with other combat mods.
  • If you use hotkeys for sheathing, make sure they don't interfere with the auto-equip trigger.
