Mod to nerf archery?

[Sarnen]

Getting literally 1 shot by bandits just isn't fun. Can someone recommend a mod that just cuts archery damage in like half or something, so enemies with all the archery talents aren't wtfbroken and I can enjoy not having to be basically godmoded with enchanting in order to survive 1 attack from 1 enemy?

If that's the case, then the problem isn't that enemy archers are doing too much damage but that you've cranked the difficulty slider up too far for your play style. Why bother maxing out incoming damage through difficulty settings and then getting a mod that cuts damage dealt by enemies in half? Just turn the difficulty down to Expert or something.

I meant it as a joke
Also I love playing robes only, mage armor is one of my favourite perks in the game


But, @OP
Enemy archers and some other enemies in the game have the NPC perk "Extra damage" on every difficulty, ranging from level 1 bandits having the 1.5x multiplier and lvl 25+ enemies having a 2.5x damage multiplier, which kinda explains the high damage...

Also while snooping around, I found this

You just need to port it from Oldrim and your issue is solved

I found a mod, dont recall the name, but basically its a difficulty adjuster - it nerfs my damage but keeps theirs consistent (at 100%).

Since I'm a robe mage, and I guess not as UBERLEETMLGPRO360QUICKSCOPE as some of these heroes on the interwebs, "doding literally every single arrow" isn't always feasible. With the use of Simolean I can buff melee damage by 25% or so for everyone, which effectively buffs enemy melee since I'm a caster, and yet keep archery damage at manageable levels, so I pay for going in melee range, but don't just get 1 shot by everything, nor do I have to pump insane amounts of MAgicka (using Ordinator's Alteration perk tree for Energy Shield), which leads to me being barely able to survive a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bandit archery, but impervious to literally everything else, which isn't a fun challenge. With the difficulty at legendary, my dps is nerfed enough so that I still have to try, and can't just run around one shotting everything with fireballs, so with this combination of mods I've achieved my goal sort of in a roundabout way, I guess.

What I can't find a mod to fix is how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ garbage my summoned minions are, fighting my followers and getting left behind (and staying behind, not trying to catch up or anything). What's the point of dead thrall if they just get stuck somewhere? If there's a mod that forces player summoned/reanimated pets to teleport to player location, let me know.

First of all: great mod, using it rn to do an unarmed run

Not 100% sure, but I think engine limitations prevent such a mod...
Atleast after searching for a bit I did not find one, only things I did find were links to oldrim mods that have been removed from nexus

A shame. I wanna basicaly be mannimarco 2.0 using a skeleton army but its been such a broken, dysfunctional playthrough, and winds up with me being forced to do it all myself with destruction spells, which defeats the point of a conjuration centric build.

Should have said that sooner, no, Undeath does not fix the summon issue, but it does make it alot more enjoyable and doable

Just be warned, Undeath needs alot of cleaning
Immersive lichdoms page has a neat cleaning guide tho

Please tell me you are allready using it
Other than that, well, I really dont know, Skyrim AI is well, it's ♥♥♥♥.
There is no real way around it, other than some massive overhaul mod, but I dont know about those.

ok thanks i'll give these a shot. At least for the destruction angle Shadow Spell Package is neat.

I don't actually know how to clean mods, so I hope it runs well.

There is a guide to cleaning it, it's seriously not hard, and you really should do it
Just ignore the page telling you about the scyre fix and classical lichdom, as they are irrelevant and classical does not exist

TLDR: The page tells you a list of stuff to delete from the mod, it's extremely simple

My issues are a little more basic. Like, I downloaded TEST5edit and there isn't even an exe in all those files, so it derails any attmept ot even start

Why yes, you should, uhh, install SSEdit instead, as it is up-to-date currently
I forgot to mention that

Does the mod not work without all this work? I honestly prefer to just play completed mods if possible. I don't understand much in the way of programming and coding.

It does work, but it might break some things.

off the top of your head do yo uknow what/ I mean if its just dont summon frost atronach or something, that's something I can deal with.

Apparently I've had undeath installed all along, but never noticed it. Like nothing in it has ever shown up in game lol.

I think I had an issue with Dremoras refusing to spawn when I tried to conjure them and cleaning the mod fixed it
Other than that, I really dont remember any issues with it
