📋 About This Mod
Two files are included in this download.
The first is Bowgasm which combines 14 different unique item single release bow mods i have made, and released individually.
Flagged as .esl
The second is a AIO non-plug in model, and texture replacer for nearly every bow in game
Use both together or either by themselves.
Details below>>>
Important notes:
Some of the textures for replacers are in the same folders as some of the unique items so alright to let them overwrite if used together.
This was done to help save space, and reduce redundancy of having two copies of the same texture.
If updating from a single release of a unique bow to this combined .esp you will lose that item from your inventory unless you leave the single release plug in active.
If left active it will double the item in game and in the crafting menu.
Uploading an optional file for Nicoroshi Creations 1. 7 that does NOT contain Rivendell, Tauriel, or Lothlorien Bows so that people using both mods will not have duplicate items in game or in the crafting menu.
Again be aware that those items if in your inventory will be lost, and need to be re-acquired either where the item was first found or by crafting.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,061 endorsements and nearly 250k downloads
- ESL-flagged plugin saves load order slots
- Optional replacer upgrades vanilla bows without plugin overhead
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2020 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim SE/AE patches
- Only 14 new bows — not a massive arsenal expansion
For Skyrim archers who want more bow variety and better-looking vanilla bows without a heavy mod. If you're a completionist collecting every weapon, this adds a nice set. Skip if you're looking for gameplay-changing bow mechanics — this is purely visual and additive.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the plugin is ESL-flagged, it won't count toward your 255 plugin limit, but make sure your mod manager supports ESLs (Vortex and MO2 do).
- If you use the optional replacer, install it after other mods that alter vanilla bows to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- Check for compatibility patches if you use other bow mods that change the same vanilla records.
