📋 About This Mod
This is a small bug fix to Doodlum's Contextual Crosshair mod. It includes a small fix for Bows & Crossbows. The issue was that sometimes the crosshair disappears completly from the game and doesn't appear again until a full game restart. This usually happens when aiming with a Bow or a Crossbow. Also i had some flickering issue with Detection Meter + Contextual Crosshair which i included a small fix too.
I will leave this temporary here till Doodlum updates his mod with the included fix.
It requires the install of the original mod (please endorse Doodlum for it). Just let this overwrite the original mod.
Tested so far on Contextual Crosshair 1. 3. 0 & Skyrim AE 1. 6. 1170.
Should also work on SE 1. 5. 97 (not tested)
Detection Meter is completly OPTIONAL and not required

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod and enable it – it should work without load order tweaks.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, make sure you grab the correct version for your game (the mod page should specify).
- If the crosshair still disappears, check if another UI mod is overwriting this one – place it lower in your load order.
