Followers and Bows

[emanueljoab]

I'm trying to make my followers to use the appropriated bow and arrow.

I give to my follower (tried with Lydia and the girl from Riften) an ebony bow and an ebony arrow but she prefer to use the standard hunting bow. She keep the arrow.

What have I to do to they use both bows and arrows?

had the same problem for a while try going to a refinery and making the bow legendary. then take their bow from them and give them the new bow. If the follower is promarily a brawler or mele rather than a marksman then when they switch from their weapon to the arrow they will sometimes auto spawn in a hunting bow into their own inventory. An easy fix for this is to take all of their single hand/ double handed weapons from them.

There was a mod that makes the followers equipment removable. It might be included in Immersive Amazing Follower Tweaks SSE.

All weapons are already removable, just not their armour. If you don't want her to use a Hunting Bow, just don't give her one.

The followers I use are not Archer primarily, but use regularly bow.
If I remove the sword or another weapon, he'll use the bow but when I put another weapon in his inventory, he equip the hunting bow instead the given bow...
