Ammunition is not like sand

Reduced the chance of finding arrows and bolts in loot and merchants. Projectiles fired by enemies cannot be recovered or entered into your inventory. . :Overview:.

"I don't like ammo. It's rough, rough, irritating, and everywhere." - Anonymous Skyrim resident

This mod effectively replaces 2/3 of the arrows and bolts in the level list from different versions. Enemies will use this ammo as usual, but players will not be able to find it in their inventory. If you enable bForceNPCsUseAmmo in Skyrim.ini, they will first use the fake version, then the real version, until they run out of ammo and switch to melee as usual. Projectiles that are fired are marked as "Broken..." and cannot be picked up.

As a result... ...ammo becomes rarer, so be prepared; ...archery skills and their perks, like "Hunter's Discipline", become more relevant; ...unwanted projectiles no longer enter your inventory.

In the meantime, I've also tweaked some arrow damage - mostly buffs - to get a better sense of progression. Click on the spoilers below for details:

Spoiler: Shown. :Install:.

It is recommended that you start a new game. Technically, this mod can be installed or uninstalled at any time, but NPCs you've already encountered will not have their inventories changed. Containers at locations you've already visited take a week and providers two days to reset.

Regarding load order, put it lower than any mod that changes the level list to make sure it works. However, it won't work as expected like mods that completely overhaul them, such as MorrowLoot. Other than that, only a few necessary containers and unnamed actors are touched, so it should be compatible with everything else. Restoration work from USSEP has been carried over. . :recommend:. . :Related Mods:.

"I don't like ammo. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere." - anonymous Skyrim's inhabitant

This mod effectively replaces 2/3 of the arrows and bolts found in leveled lists with non-playable versions of them. Enemies will use this ammunition as normal, but the player won't be able to find it in their inventory. If you have bForceNPCsUseAmmo enabled in Skyrim.ini, they will use the fake version first, then the real one, until they run out of ammo and switch to melee, as usual. Fired projectiles are labelled as 'Broken... ' and can't be picked up.

As consequence...... ammo becomes much rarer, so be prepared for it;... the Archery skill and its perks, such as 'Hunter's Discipline', become more relevant and;... unwanted projectiles won't get into your inventory anymore.

While being at it, I've also tweaked the damage of some arrows - mostly buffs - for a better sense of progression. Click the spoiler below to see details:

Show.: INSTALLATION:.

It's recommended that you start a new playthrough. Technically, this mod is safe to install or uninstall at any time, but NPC you have already met won't change their inventory. Containers in locations you've already visited will take a week, and vendors two days, to reset.

Regarding load order, place it lower than any mods changing leveled lists to make sure it works. However, it won't work as intended with mods that completely overhauls them, such as MorrowLoot. Besides that, only a few necessary containers and unnamed actors have been touched, so it should be compatible with pretty much anything else. Fixes from USSEP have been carried over..: RECOMMENDATIONS:..: Related Mods:.
