📋 About This Mod

A number of stats (value, weight, damage, crit damage, speed and reach) for the bows in the excellent Scoped Bows SE by Outlaw666 are all based on the vanilla values of their unscoped counterparts, with some tweaks by the author.  If you use it alongside another mod that greatly alters the unscoped bow's stats, the stats on your scoped bows won't match and will likely be inferior, especially when it comes to unique bows using MLU or ZIA. This "compatibility kit" therefore provides full compatibility with USSEP, vanilla stats, WACCF, MLU, ZIA and OMEGA MLU.

Patches are also provided for 3 NPC Replacer mods - Bijin Warmaidens (and related AIOs), Divine People of Skyrim Men Only, and The Huntress Reborn - Aela

Replacer.  If you are using my THR-Aela  USSEP patch from my QUASIPC mod, you will no longer need it after you install this Scoped Bows patch for that replacer.

LINKS TO ALL MODS FOR WHICH THIS MOD PROVIDES COMPATIBILITY ARE LISTED UNDER THE REQUIREMENTS TAB

YES, YOU NEED TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL SCOPED BOWS SE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS

ALL versions forward all USSEP fixes.  One rule that USSEP applies universally that I also applied to all versions is that crit damage is set to 1/2 base damage rounded down.  There is one exception I've made to this - Auriel's Bow.  See further below for details.

INSTALLER STEPS

STEP 1:  CHOOSE YOUR REPLACER ESP

1)  In this step, you replace the original mod's ScopedBows.esp with one of 3 versions.  Here's the rules I used for making them:

Original Version (available if you do not have WACCF installed):

Value is same as Scoped Bows SE (much higher than vanilla, USSEP or even WACCF.  Comparable to MLU/ZIA values.)

Weight is same as Scoped Bows SE (usually but not always 1 lb higher than vanilla)

Base Damage is same as Scoped Bows SE (usually but not always +1 damage over vanilla unscoped bows)

Crit Damage is Base Damage / 2 rounded down (USSEP fixes any variations away from this, so I do as well, except for Auriel's Bow)

Vanilla Version (available if you do not have WACCF installed):

Value of unique bows is same as Vanilla

Value of non-unique scoped bows is between 1. 1x and 2x the value of non-scoped Vanilla, up to a maximum of 200 gold more

Weight of unique bows with prebuilt scopes is same as Vanilla/USSEP

Weight of non-unique scoped bows is same as non-scoped Vanilla bow + 1 pound

Base Damage of scoped bows is same as unscoped bows in Vanilla/USSEP

Crit Damage is Base Damage / 2 rounded down, except for Auriel's Bow

WACCF Version (this version is required and will be selected automatically if you have WACCF installed): <

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Scoped Bows Compatibility Kit (SBCK) is a patch mod for Skyrim Special Edition that ensures compatibility between Outlaw666's Scoped Bows SE and popular overhauls like USSEP, WACCF, MLU, ZIA, and OMEGA, plus several NPC Replacer mods. With over 3,000 endorsements and 342,000 downloads, it's a trusted utility for modders using these combinations. Last updated in 2018, it remains relevant for classic load orders.

✨ Key Features

Adds compatibility patches for Scoped Bows SE with USSEP, vanilla stats, WACCF, MLU, ZIA, and OMEGA.
Includes support for several NPC Replacer mods to prevent conflicts.
High community trust with 3,012 endorsements and 342,977 downloads.
Targets players using multiple overhaul mods simultaneously.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Massive download count (342k+) shows this patch is essential for many load orders.
  • Covers a wide range of popular overhauls—USSEP, WACCF, MLU, ZIA, OMEGA—so you don't need separate patches.
  • Active community trust (3k endorsements) despite being a compatibility patch, not a flashy content mod.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2018—may not be compatible with newer versions of Scoped Bows or the overhauls it patches.
  • Requires you to already have Scoped Bows SE and the listed overhaul mods installed, so it's useless without them.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE modders running Scoped Bows alongside major overhauls like USSEP, WACCF, or MLU and want to avoid conflicts. Also for those using NPC replacers that might clash with bow visuals. Skip if you don't use Scoped Bows or only run a minimal mod list.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place this patch after Scoped Bows and the overhaul mods in your load order to ensure it overwrites correctly.
  • Use a mod manager like MO2 to easily see which files are being overwritten and avoid conflicts.
  • Check the mod's posts section for any user-reported compatibility notes with newer mod versions.
