This mod integrates crossbows from Elite Crossbows and Expanded Crossbow Pack into Skyrim's world using SPID and CID. Vendors get a 10-50% chance to sell crossbows, and specific NPC factions like the Thalmor, Bandits, and Dawnguard have a 1-2% chance to wield them. It's a lightweight distribution mod for players using those crossbow packs.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 175 endorsements and nearly 8k downloads.
- Tight integration with two popular crossbow mods, making them feel native to the world.
- Faction-specific distribution adds flavor—seeing a Thalmor with an Elven crossbow is a nice touch.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both Elite Crossbows and Expanded Crossbow Pack as dependencies, so it's useless without them.
- The 1% NPC spawn chance is so low you might rarely see them in practice.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter NPC inventories or use SPID for similar distributions.
For Skyrim players who use Elite Crossbows or Expanded Crossbow Pack and want those weapons to appear naturally in the world. If you're not running those mods, this does nothing for you. It's a must-have for immersion-focused players who want enemies to use the new gear.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Elite Crossbows and Expanded Crossbow Pack installed before adding this mod, or the crossbows won't appear.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to handle the SPID and CID files—manual installation can lead to overwrite issues.
- If you're also using other SPID mods, check your load order to ensure this one's distributions don't get overwritten.
