Everyting seems to work except the shock bow for me. I can get the two different swords, but only the frost bow. And when I try to switch it to shock in a forge it just makes it the original nightingale bow with 30 frost damage and 15 shock. And in the console I can also find both sword types, but only the frost bow. Anyone got any ideas what I can do?

i don't know why, but my nightingales boots doesn't get the improvment, and i can't improved the blade but maybe i have to finish the guild questline first for that ?

Hey it all just stopped working, the improved stats have just disappeared!

I dont know why, but the health and magicka enchant on my bow isnt working. I tried converting it to frost and back, but it still dosent absorb either, instead it does frost and shock simultaneously. Any ideas why?

I remember this used to make it so that whenever you wore the hood, along with improved illusion you'd also get this ability where you could detect people with like glowing stuff around them. What happened to that?

you are by far my favorite mod creators of all time, keep on making these great mods.

Guys, in the powers section, there is a power called nightingale sight that toggles the detect life effect. It explains this in the description of the hood changes.
TkPa Aug 6, 2016 @ 4:14am 
How to turn off the life detect please... I would be using the mod if it was clearly said HOW to do it...

How do I turn off detect life, it's the only reason i'm not using this mod.
yagami light Jul 15, 2016 @ 3:39pm 
How do you remove that detect life from the hood?
✠Skugga✠ Jun 20, 2016 @ 6:48am 
how do you even get nightingale sight
Mataeon Jun 17, 2016 @ 10:13am 
Actually, its just with the blade. I was able to upgrade the bow.
Mataeon Jun 16, 2016 @ 4:20pm 
Has anybody run into the problem where you can't improve the nightingale weapons? It won't let me do it for the bow or the blade. They won't show up on the grindstone and I have them in my inventory.

Console command for removing Detect Life on the hood not working and i typed it correctly. Please fix. I'm uninstalling until its fixed. This is a long time bug that needs to be addressed.
Big Nut Apr 23, 2016 @ 6:13am 
How do you remove the Detect Life on the hood? Its really annoying.
hitmankillerX5 Apr 16, 2016 @ 11:20am 
how do i get the enchantments
Myahster Mar 19, 2016 @ 11:42pm 
Nightingale Sight should be an ability, not something that's constant as you wear the armor.
It's an eyesore, and made me not want to use the Nightingale armor all together.
Also, when you place the armor set on a mannequin, it highlights everyone, including you.

What are the commands to set the blessings set hoodblessing 1 isnt working
Zim  [author] Dec 3, 2015 @ 1:46pm 
Ultimate Flute....I recommend placing this mod as far down in the load order as possible, certainly below ICFH. Make sure you have ICFH compatibility checked as well.

zaku_zelo...some interesting comments, I'll bear them in mind. The crosshairs are not fixed.
zaku_zelo Nov 27, 2015 @ 1:47am 
I question the direction the improved bow takes. A faster draw speed means less range, which is not what a stealthy archer wants. And why a health draining effect? What the hell is a sneak thief doing losing health?
Also, unrelated, but does this fix the bow's wonky crosshairs?
The Kingmaker Oct 19, 2015 @ 1:05pm 
I breifly commented here first, then deleted it. My issue is with this mod and ICFH. I found a way to get the two to work, or so I believed. Instead of your nightingale helmet, with IMproved Closedfaced Helmets Legendary Edition installed, I get the regular Nightingale helmet (full with 17% illusion enchantment :/)
Any ideas or tips? I could re-install a mod that will allow me to enchant the helmet on my own, but I would lose out on your cool features.
grey Oct 16, 2015 @ 10:52am 
this mod's a blessing cuz the old nightingale armor was useless (especially the hood) for my play style just ewe no. thank you for this mod
Chops Oct 13, 2015 @ 4:34pm 
Yeah, realized that today, completely disregard my other comment, I feel like a jerk. Wonderful job on the mod, I honestly couldn't play skyrim without it.
Zim  [author] Oct 13, 2015 @ 4:19am 
Wolf...next update is gonna fix it...you can already turn it off with the lesser power, Nightingale Sight, but the next update will also have hotkey compatibility.
Chops Oct 12, 2015 @ 2:49pm 
Just gotta say, the life detect is annoying as all hell. I'd STRONGLY reccomend the ability to turn it off for those of us who want to wear the hood all the time
concretemonk Aug 8, 2015 @ 8:23pm 
i noticed a bug with this mod. i installed it before the stage in the thieves guild quest were you go to the cave and become a nightingale. after donning the armor and Karligha ( excuse my spelling) tells you to stand on the spot in the ritual chamber.....she leaves, just walks out of the cave and is gone. easy fix. i just unticked the mod in my manager, reloaded the save and everything worked great. just thought i would let you know, in case anyone else had this problem.

Other than that, i love this mod. i actually use the armor now, insted of just putting it on display like i have in the past
Zim  [author] Jun 26, 2015 @ 10:08am 
SonictheHedgehog-MZ...I'm aware of the bug and am working on a fix, will release it on the nexus in a few weeks hopefully.
GrimReaper Jun 24, 2015 @ 8:08pm 
wheres the armor
GrimReaper Jun 24, 2015 @ 8:07pm 
i cant find it anywhere
GrimReaper Jun 20, 2015 @ 1:44pm 
make one with no cape the cape is stupid
Avandine Jun 19, 2015 @ 9:37am 
I have all Blacksmith perks, so it has to be a bug ... too bad for me than :(
Zim  [author] Jun 18, 2015 @ 11:32am 
Myzdrael...do you have the arcane blacksmith perk? if not, then this is just a bug, pure and simple
Avandine Jun 18, 2015 @ 1:10am 
This mod is great, but I've met a problem. I cannot upgrade my Nightingale Armor at all. I do have Void Salts and Advanced Armor perk and still there is a message that I don't have ingridients required to upgrade.
Chekita Jun 17, 2015 @ 2:39pm 
Thx for the quick response, i will look into it, if i can do the fix myself in the future, but atm i dont know how to use the kit properly, Im very new to modding. Maybe when Im finished with the current char I can try it, or take a look with TessEdit (if makes any difference).
For now I uninstalled and installed again the complete edition, after removing the glove from inventory and is all good.
I actually think it was a problem caused by COMBAT EVOLVED, i tried using it (not a very good mod in my opinion - too many bugs, specially for a thief). After I started using the Combat Evolved and saved the game while using the gloves the problem came. As combat evolved tries to change some things in the sneak system (and fails hard) im prone to think it was not completely related to your mod.
Zim  [author] Jun 16, 2015 @ 12:26pm 
fossa0...not sure what you mean by manually remove, any chance you could clarify this? Had a look at the backstab thing...just in time because there is an update on the way, and I think I've found the problem. Basically, the backstab effect is missing a recover flag. Adding the recover flag to the magic effect should fix the problem...u can do that in the creation kit.
Chekita Jun 16, 2015 @ 10:20am 
Very good mod. At the moment im testing various mods on nexus to see wich ones will endorse and also keep. Im having a problem with my backstab after using the improved gloves gear, the enchantment seems to have sticked to my character, so it doesnt matter what kind of gear im wearing it always 2x (DOUBLE) the sneak attk.
Is there some way to resolve this problem without unistalling all files? I tried to remove all possible backstab perks using console, and added only the one i had from SNEAK perk.
Also, im using the improved gear complete collection (so i cant unistall only the nightingale alone, is it safe to try to remove manually in that version?).
Tortolonch Jun 10, 2015 @ 5:04pm 
Even after dropping and picking up the Nightingale Hod, the Sight won't return. MINOR SUGGESTION: When un-equipping the hood, it leaves my favorites menu. Just thought you should try to fix that.
Zim  [author] Jun 1, 2015 @ 10:46am 
eggplant...it should automatically add the improvements even if you already have the equipment...are you having problems with it?
bop May 30, 2015 @ 1:33pm 
i got this after completing the questline, is there anything i can do to get the new equipment?
Sporry May 1, 2015 @ 1:52pm 
Ok, thank you for making such a good mod collection.
Zim  [author] May 1, 2015 @ 11:14am 
Jon Luther...sounds like a bug unfortunately, I'll look into it if I get a chance
Sporry May 1, 2015 @ 10:47am 
I wanted to post this on the nexus but the comments are locked so I guess I'll post it here. Why does the ICFH compatibility patch make the facemask for kahjit characters dissapear? I'ts not something gamebreaking but ICFH doesn't do that and I prefer the version with the facemask. Is it intentional or isit a bug? Aside of this small issue this is a really good mod.
zaku_zelo Apr 24, 2015 @ 3:10pm 
Wait a second, the new version of the bow is faster? That's bad for sneakers. Fast bows have more arrow drop and are harder to snipe with.
Zim  [author] Mar 14, 2015 @ 7:25am 
Wulf BearClaw...without knowing how his mod is implemented I can't say for sure, but if his mod edits the nightingale equipment, it's probably not compatible
