i've just encountered an issue that I can't figure out--my character, once she takes out her bow, does this glitched/fast walk animation. Sprinting and stealth movement is perfect. Even using the crossbow or other weapons work fine. It's just when a bow is equipped that the animation happens. i've tried fiddling with FNIS and some of my mods, but I haven't installed anything in the last week, but am noticing this. I also just noticed that torches aren't held up when equipped; they're held low, at her side. i do use the improved animation with the bows, but have used it since I started using mods, and never had an issue with it till now. Some searching here resulted in others telling us to uncheck xp32's mods in FNIS--but I don't even use them! I do use the "New animation for running with bow", but even when I uncheck it, it doesn't seem to make a difference. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, I think I figured out the root of the problem--my first person aim is actually using the third person aiming reticle. Which is really strange. So I shoot an arrow in first person, and it falls short by quite a bit. But if I switch to third person, it's a perfect shot. Same thing with the magic. Any ideas how to fix this? I think the only change I made was to my skyrim.ini file, which slightly altered the third person camera so that it wouldn't zoom out. I'd like to keep that camera option for melee but be able to use first person for precise aiming.

Hi everyone, first time mod user here, and was having great success early on. That seems to have changed tonight (maybe went a bit overboard with them). I first noticed something off with my magic shots going ludicrously off target (mostly downwards). The thing is, it doesn't happen all the time, so hard to replicate. Now I'm noticing it with arrows. When I shoot at enemies, they don't seem to register. And when the arrow leaves my bow, there's a flickering of the arrow's animation lingering (almost like it goes upward/jams). I've logged enough hours in vanilla Skyrim to know what the animation should look like, and it just doesn't feel right. I've tried starting a new game in "Alternate life", but it still does it. I ran BOSS, and it gave me a few dirty edits, listed below. Tried to work around them by simply disabling the "yellow" flagged plugins. Noticed that some of the mods, like RichMerchant, I can't find to disable in the Mods tab. The last few mods I uninstalled were Headtracking, Advanced Kill Moves, and Marriage Dynamic Outfits. But nothing seems to be fixing that archery/spell aiming bug. Any advice would be MUCH appreciated. Skyrim.esm Active Update.esm Active Contains dirty edits: 50 ITM, 1 UDR records.
