Basic Mechanics
Auto Unequip Ammo will respond when weapon is equipped or unequipped and deal with the ammo respectively. Goal is not to have ammo equipped unless you\'re using ranged weapons. Arrows and Bolts are tracked separatelly so that valid ammo can be equipped with the corresponding ranged weapon type.Equip Sets
If enabled, equip sets are created automatically when you manually equip ammo to be used with currently equipped ranged weapon. Mod is basically learning which ammo you prefer to use with each weapon so you don\'t have to swap ammo manually each time you use different bow or crossbow. Up to 50 equip sets can exist at one time and if limit is breached the list with cycle itself by replacing the oldest entry with newest one. Equip sets can be manually cleared at any time.Custom Ammo
If you equip custom ammo that cannot be recongized by the mod a pop-up will appear for you to classify. Choose one of 3 classes when asked:- [] Arrows - Bow ammo. [] Bolts - Crossbow ammo. [] Other - Bound ammo, Quest ammo, etc.
Configuration
Auto Unequip Ammo supports the MCM configuration which is highly recommended way of dealing with mod settings. From MCM menu you can toggle features, clear equip sets and custom ammo and preview current equip sets and known ammo. If you don\'t use MCM you can still toggle features and clear custom content via console commands:- [] Follower plugin toggle: (StartQuest AUAFollower) or (StopQuest AUAFollower). [] Equip set toggle: (Set AUAEqupSetsEnable to 1) or (Set AUAEqupSetsEnable to 0). [] Clear equip sets: (Set AUAEquipSetsClear to 1) and you will be notified when done. [] Clear custom ammo: (Set AUACustomAmmoClear to 1) and you will be notified when done.
Uninstallation
- [] Type in console (StopQuest AUA). [] Save the game. [] Uninstall the mod.
Change Log

It can remember the last used ammo per ranged weapon with optional auto-created equipment sets. A classic Skyrim utility mod with massive community support.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 107,538 endorsements and 2.8M downloads
- Solves a real annoyance for archers and crossbow users
- Lightweight utility that does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — may need compatibility patches for newer Skyrim versions
- Requires Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) for full functionality, though not explicitly stated
For Skyrim players who frequently switch between ranged and melee weapons and hate manually re-equipping arrows. Also great for stealth archers who want seamless transitions. Skip if you never use bows or crossbows.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SKSE installed, as many Skyrim mods like this rely on it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of your mods and avoid conflicts.
- If you're playing Skyrim Special Edition, look for a version compatible with that edition, as this mod is from 2013.
