TheRealMissAmber Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) ok before i get questions about my load order and before i get slapped with "this thread already exists" i looked at them all and im not about to get trolled for "necroing" threads Load order: 0 0 Skyrim.esm 1 1 Update.esm 2 2 Dawnguard.esm 3 3 HearthFires.esm 4 4 Dragonborn.esm 5 5 Update.esp 6 6 SimpleCrossbowTest.esp Thats all im running... im looking for a solid fix to this. the problem is simple. i take crossbow out (i have 50 steel bolts) click to fire and nothing. Save file issue? thought of that. i started a new game with only the DLCs ran through Helgan and when i come out of the cave i have a crossbow and bolts waiting on the rock Hadvar and Ralof duck behind. Pick it up, try to shoot it and nothing just a never ending aiming loop. i even tried restarting my PC and launching from SKSE. whats funny is when i was running a HUGE load of mods i never had a single issue at all. WTF is this devilry? sorry im a little pissed.. ok im VERY pissed. any info helps. thanks in advanced ~TheRealMissAmber Edited March 26, 2021 by TheRealMissAmber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 SimpleCrossbowTest.esp What's this one do? Is this the one that places the crossbow on the rock? Have you tried verfiying your game cache via steam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried verfiying your game cache via steam?all that mod does is add a crossbow and bolts to the rock nothing else just a drag and drop to the rock. and i have never once validated anything nor do i know how or why i should do it.. il google it to save us all time EDIT: i see im validating now. ty Edited March 26, 2021 by TheRealMissAmber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMissAmber Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) ok i did the verify and it said 1 file failed and would be reacquired. nothing changed. also i dont have any unpacked weapon nifs relating to crossbows or bows. they crossbow is still in the BSA file i went and looked to be sure. im not using any animation replaces either.

thumbincubation Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Do the Dawnguard-supplied crossbows also not work, or only that mod-added one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMissAmber Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Do the Dawnguard-supplied crossbows also not work, or only that mod-added one?none of them work. i just noticed i cant bash with them either so that would be multiple animations now working i cant get my head around this. they were working just fine this morning then noon-ish rolls around and nope! no more crossbows for you Amber! this is killing me because i just updated one of my mods and im stressing about my users having the issue now like some kind of Skyrim STD. (funny because its not funny) i heard FNIS may help but it seems unrealistic to get that just to correct the DLC crossbow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
