Scoped Bows

Compatible support for Outlaw666's excellent Scoped Bows SE, including USSEP, vanilla stats, WACCF, MLU, ZIA and OMEGA, as well as several NPC Replacer mods.

The numbers (value, weight, damage, critical damage, speed and range) of the bows in Outlaw666's excellent Scoped Bows SE are all based on their vanilla values ​​for untrained opponents, with some tweaks by the author. If you use it with another mod it will change the stats of an untrained bow so much that the stats on your bow will not match and may be worse, especially when using MLU or ZIA's unique bows. Therefore, this "compatibility suite" is fully compatible with USSEP, vanilla stats, WACCF, MLU, ZIA and OMEGA MLU.

Patches have also been provided for 3 NPC Replacer mods - the Bijin Warmaidens (and associated AIOs), the Skyrim-only Holy Figures, and The Huntress Reborn - Aela

Substitute. If you use the THR-Aela USSEP patch from my QUASIPC mod, you will no longer need it after installing this Scoped Bows patch for this replacer.

Links to all mods this MOD provides compatibility with are listed upon request

Yes, you need to install the original SCOPED SE before installing

All USSEP fixes are forwarded on all versions. One rule of USSEP that applies universally to all my builds is that critical hit damage is set to be rounded down to 1/2 base damage. I made one exception to this - Oriel's Bow. See below for details

Installation steps

Step 1: Choose your replacement ESP

• In this step you replace the original mod's ScopedBows.esp with one of the 3 versions. Here are the rules I use to make them:

Original version (available if you don't have WACCF installed):

Same value as Scoped Bows SE (much higher than vanilla, USSEP or even WACCF. Comparable to MLU/ZIA value.)

Same weight as Scoped Bows SE (usually but not always 1 pound more than vanilla)

Base damage is the same as Scoped Bows SE (usually but not always +1 damage to vanilla sans bow arrows)

Critical hit damage is base damage/2 rounded down (USSEP fixed any changes away from this, so I did too, except for Auriel's bow)

Vanilla version (available if you don't have WACCF installed):

Unique bows are worth the same as vanilla

Non-unique ranged bows are worth 1.1x to 2x the non-ranged vanilla value, up to a maximum of 200 gold

Unique bow with pre-made scope weighs the same as Vanilla/USSEP

Non-unique bows weigh the same as non-ranged vanilla bows + 1 pound

The base damage of bow bows is the same as that of unbowed bows in Vanilla/USSEP

Critical damage is base damage/2 down, except for Auriel's bow

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

Unique bow has the same value as WACCF

Non-unique scoped bows have values ​​between 1.1x and 1.6x the non-scoped WACCF value, up to a maximum of 200 gold

Unique bow with prefabricated scope weighs the same as WACCF

Non-scoped bows weigh the same as the non-scoped WACCF version + 1 pound

The base damage of bowed bows is the same as that of unbowed bows in WACCF

Same speed and range as WACCF

Critical damage is base damage/2 down, except for Auriel's bow

If you're not using MLU, ZIA, OMEGA, or any of the supported NPC replacers, you're done. In addition:

Step 2: Select the ESP or ESPFE plugin for the patch provided in the following steps.

Step 3: Install MLU/ZIA/OMEGA Patches

This step will only occur if you have Morrowloot Ultimate, Zim's Immersive Artifacts, or any OMEGA MLU version installed. Depending on which ESP you install, the installer will automatically select the correct choice for you between a ZIA-only patch, an MLU-only patch, or a combined MLU-ZIA patch.

Details on these patches:

• ScopedBows_MLU Patch: Sets all non-unique scoped bows to the MLU value of their unforged counterparts, plus 1 pound more weight. unique

Range bows have the same statistics as MLU.

• ScopedBows_ZIA patch: Set a pair of unique bows in ZIA (Nightingale, Auriel)'s stats to ZIA values ​​and effects.
• ScopedBows_MLU_ZI …
