This is a common issue so I will make a note of it here:
If you do not see an option to change Calibers on vanilla weapons then you have a conflict in your load order.
EDIT: If you see a warning about ESM flags on an ESP, you can safely ignore this. It's supposed to be like that so that it keeps the mod locked toward the top of the load order. Since this isn't a normal thing to have on an ESP file, it throws an error.
Also, every so often people ask about ammo crafting. This portion of the mod is unfinished so don't ask here. WSE 2 does have ammo crafting so you can ask there if you have questions about it (if you have that mod that is).
Vortex insists that this mod is a missing master for Weaponsmith Extended 2.esp I already have other ammo mods. Do I really have to download this instead? Assuming it doesn't work in conjunction.
I know this mod is dead now, but i have many big mods that rely on this mod and it is causing the game to CTD right on startup, if theres a patch or a fix to this then id be grateful.
Is there a way to figure out what a weapon's original (unmodified) ammo type is? Like if I find a pistol that uses .45 ACP, but normally uses 9mm, is there a way to tell that?
Hi, thank you for the mod. Great variety and still working in 2024! By the way, maybe someone will find it useful - I thought I had a conflict with this mod & see through scopes where PSL rifle night vision scopes would make the whole screen permamently black during the day but not during the night (LOL). Rimods codes didnt work in console, only "teofis" but partially. It turned out night vision scopes were broken by "Simply better weather" mod. I would normally comment under that mod but comments are switched off.
I'm Having Trouble Using the different Shotgun Shell Types. I would like to Use The Frag, Incendiary, and slug rounds. But I Cant Switch What Shell Type My Shotgun Uses, It Just Says buck. The only Options I have at the weapon workstation Is .50cal And .500Mag. Am I Wasting resources Or can I Actuall Fire These Rounds?
That is not from this mod. There are a few new kinds of shotgun shells, but there aren't things like frag, incendiary, etc. Sorry for the reply so late. You might want to go though your mod list and check if you even need this mod anymore. Its dead anyway.
It's possible for you to make a version of this mod without the dependency of AWKCR?
I'm slowly ditching it away, I'm almost done, only this mod with the patch for DOOM Based Weapons and another clothing mod are pending to either find patches/replacements
i really enjoy being level 12 and having 700 various calibers for weapons that i've never seen and probably will never see, meanwhile i have 3 5.56 rounds and 8 .308 rounds (calibers used by guns that actually drop in game) this mod is a roundabout difficulty mod cause it basically just makes finding ammo impossible.
It is for this reason I disable every script added Leveled List integration - from all mods. At the end of the day, how you want things added to your Single Player world is, well your job. Only you know what you want (or don't).
Some ammo you want to be common. Some ammo you want to be uncommon. Some ammo you want to be rare Some ammo you want to be extremely rare, if not impossible to find. And the rest (like Wildey ammo), the only way you can possibly get it is to craft it (even in real life that is the case).
Why so many pointless and unimmersive calibers? The game was set in New York and Pennsylvania, no need for chinese, russian, german or whatever caliber outside their reach! It's too messy and you lose so much time finding a proper caliber for your weapon, or even worst, discarding that weapon to use other with a more Vanilla-like caliber.
I sadly downloaded this 'cause it's a requirement for another mod I'm using.
I can tell you why. Lets say you introduce X Ammo mod. You are literally going to get 1 billion requests to add the most obscure ammo types to the game. Ex. "For the love of god please add 10 Eichelberger!!!!!"..... Never mind the fact that there aren't any mods of weapons that can fire them......
Which brings us to the root of the issue. A monolithic approach to ammo doesn't work in a Single Player based game. At the end of the day the users is going to HAVE to make some edits - to remove what they don't want, to change the availability of what they do want.
Straight out of the box? Faghettaboutit. It will never be the way you want it in YOUR world.

Then I built an Ammo Crafting Station, and that was a gamechanger.
Now I scrap any ammo I don't need, and craft what I need. I have more than enough ammo now for the 3 weapons I actually use.
New gun need ammo I don't have? No worries, I just craft some!
