First person archery bug (PLEASE HELP)
Whenever i aim a bow in first person, the bow model aims to the left and when i fire an arrow, the arrow goes left of my crosshair (by quite a bit) it happened after i installed Scoped Bows from nexus mods, i have since un-installed, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, tried new save files, and many other bug fixing procedures, but none have worked, would greatly appreciate any help you guys can give me, thanks :steamhappy:

Ugh... not this one again. Ilja will be back on at some point with the solution. lol IIRC it may be something like a skel/mesh issue causing 1st person/3rd person anims oddness, and possibly something to do with FNIS. But like I say, it crops up from time to time and someone will have a solution.

actually it's usually multiple combat mods, and/or multiple camera mods running on top of each other. I'll save the elder counsel a little time. Please post your load order from LOOT below.

(if you've never done that ... click the three dots on the top right and select copy load order to clip board, then paste it here.)

If you really want to save some time. uncheck all of your camera mods and install enhanced camera ... works fine, but you'll need to tweak the ini files to correct the vertical aim

i have no camera mods or combat mods other than scoped bows (which is already uninstalled)

Which is wrong, starting from official files.

Load order and resource priority basics

Did you remove those mods from ongoing game?

i had one save going when i uninstalled it, i never used it much though

The question there was pointed toward the fact that Skrim bakes script data to save files. Removing mods from ongoing game could have caused this problem.

Did you sort the load order? I gave instructions about how to run LOOT in the post that I linked. There was also a load order template there, to show how your official DLC files should be positioned.
yeah i used LOOT to sort them out, problem still persists

Well post your load order, so Ilja and the others can spot any obvious problems.

You might also need to consider upgrading away from the steam workshop. We call it the "don't work shop" around here. If the build is simple enough there's nothing wrong with it, but you would be not only better off with a mod manager, it would also make identifying problems much easier for you.

Not throwing salt on the wound... just a suggestion if you're looking to go deeper into modding. NMM on the Nexus is OK, but Tannin's Mod Organizer is better (just takes a little more work to learn it, and get it set up)

Links and explinations are all in Ilja's pinned thread "Players Spreadsheet" if you haven't read it already.

"Doesn't work shop" would be better.

Your english, and spelling, is better than your average english person these days, avrie.
