About this mod Machine translation
This mod changes the mesh of Auriel's Bow, Norse Bow, Ancient Northern Bow, Nord Heroic Bow, Drainspell Bow, Falmer Bow, Forsworn Bow, Nightingale Bow, Elven Bow and Glass Bow. A modified version of CrazyLion's Ebony Bow replaces the original mesh and textures.
Inspired by LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons SE, I decided to make a mod for bows and arrows. Many of the bows in the game are very useful and beautiful, so they remain unchanged. The two reasons why I decided to change some of the bows were either to block too many targets in first person view, or to look too unrealistic and disproportionate. Apart from the ebony bow, this mod only contains meshes, so it is compatible with other bow texture mods. Below is a list of the new bow meshes with a brief description of the changes.
Auriel's bow - main part thinner
Nordic Bow - Most pieces are thinner and the handle is slightly longer
Ancient Nord Bow, Nord Hero Bow, Drainspell Bow - thinner, with smaller protrusions around the handle
Falmer Bow - Thinner
Forsworn Bow - Thinner bow strings only
Nightingale Bow - The main part is thinner and the protrusions around the handle are curved to follow the shape of the wood
Elf Bow - Main part thinner
Glass Bow - Thinner
Ebony Bow – CrazyLion’s Ebony Bow replaces the original bow with modified mesh and textures
The new bow grid changes the four load screens.
I'm very grateful to LeanWolf for his advice and inspiration, and to CrazyLion for providing his high-quality Ebony Bow files and letting me use them.

Inspired by LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons SE I decided to create a mod for bows. Many bows in the game are perfectly usable and aesthetically pleasing, so they have been left untouched. The two reasons I decided to change some of the bows are either for blocking too much of the target when in first person view or having too unrealistic and disproportionate appearance. Besides the Ebony bow, this mod only contains meshes, so it is compatible with other bow texture mods. The following is a list of the new bow meshes, with a short description of the changes.
Auriel's Bow - main portion thinner
Nordic Bow - most pieces are thinner, with handle slightly longer
Ancient Nord Bow, Nord Hero Bow, Drainspell Bow - thinner with smaller protrusions around the handle
Falmer Bow - thinner
Forsworn Bow - thinner bowstring only
Nightingale Bow - main portion thinner, the protrusions around the handle bended to follow the shape of the wood
Elven Bow - main portion thinner
Glass Bow - thinner
Ebony Bow - modified meshes and textures of CrazyLion's Ebony Bow replaces the original bow
Four load screens have been changed with the new bow meshes.
My deep gratitude goes to LeanWolf, for his suggestions and inspiration, and CrazyLion for providing his high quality Ebony Bow files and letting me use them.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
