📋 About This Mod
I've been using Fancy Bows by RobZom for a while now and I am in LOVE with the bows.
They differ in style, colours and fx... simply amazing - only 1 tiny thing was missing for me...
This mod adds ENB Light to the 10 bows included in Fancy Bows and I'm happy with the outcome.
DEPENDING ON YOUR ENB - THE OUTCOME WILL DIFFER TO THE ONE IN THE SCREENSHOTS!
Mine is most likely weaker than yours!
The ENB Light meshes were provided by TrueDraconis
REQUIREMENTS
1. The original mod Fancy Bows by RobZom is a hard requirement!
2. ENB is a hard requirement! Otherwise this mod is pointless!
Make sure EnableComplexParticleLights and EnableBigRange are turned on!
(afaik, it doesn't work with newer cs builds)
3. ELIF for the 'Kitsune' version!
INSTALLATION
1. Install enbdev into your Skyrim Directory!
(And a preset if you want to.)
2. Install the magnificent Fancy Bows mod by RobZom!
3. Install my patch and let it overwrite the original mod!
Choose either the default or intense version manually or via Mod Manager!
COMPATIBILITY
This patch only acts as a mesh replacer for the original mod... so there aren't any known incompatibilities and definitely no patches needed.
(Except if a another mod overwrites this mods meshes.)
ELIF is now also patched since I manually edited the inventory zoom via nifskope myself. Just use the "Kitsune" version and the bows look good in the inventory.
PERFORMANCE
I did NOT notice any impact in performance.
KNOWN ISSUES
There is no enb light visible when in first person.
FAQ
What version was used for the screenshots?
I used the intense version but personally recommend the standard version more.
Circonian also used the intense version - as you can see, the difference is mad depending on the enb preset.
This patch adds ENB Light effects to the bows from the Fancy Bows mod by RobZom, enhancing their visual appeal in ENB-enabled setups. It's a small, focused compatibility patch for Skyrim players who use both mods and want their fancy bows to glow with dynamic lighting.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 215 endorsements and 42k downloads
- Makes Fancy Bows pop with ENB lighting for that extra flair
- Tiny patch that does exactly what it says—no bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both Fancy Bows and ENB to work—useless without them
- Only affects bows, so if you don't use bows, it's a pass
- Last updated in 2022, so might not play nice with newer mod versions
For Skyrim players who already run ENB and love the Fancy Bows mod but want those bows to glow with dynamic light. If you're not using ENB or Fancy Bows, skip this—it's a niche compatibility patch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ENB installed and running before adding this patch, or the lights won't show.
- Load this patch after Fancy Bows in your mod manager to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just drag and drop—no manual file editing needed.
