The Design principle of this Mod is for Gamers that want to fine tune various aspects of the game without using a "change everything" overhaul.
Recommended:- This can be used in conjunction with Attribute-based and skill-based damage modifiers, I personally set the newWeaponDamageMultiplier to 3. 0 (See the mods details/ini file for a further understanding). Note this also effects the cost & damage of spells which can be disabled if desired.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lightweight design means it won't bloat your load order
- Decent community traction with 128 endorsements and 16k downloads
- Focused on archery, so it's perfect if you want a specific tweak without a full overhaul
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it may have compatibility issues with newer mods or patches
- No detailed feature list provided, so you'll have to test to see what exactly changes
- Small mod with limited scope—if you want a comprehensive combat overhaul, this isn't it
For Oblivion players who want a subtle, lightweight tweak to archery without overhauling the whole combat system. If you're a purist who prefers minimal mods that just improve one aspect, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a major gameplay overhaul or if you need up-to-date compatibility with the latest mods.

- Use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or OBMM to install and manage this mod to avoid overwriting issues.
- Test the archery changes in a low-stakes save to see if the feel matches your preference before committing to a playthrough.
