About this mod
Remove the sound detection of bows and arrow / bolt projectiles. Enemies will still detect the impact of the projectiles.

--- DESCRIPTION 📖 ---
In my latest stealth gameplay, I noticed that sometimes enemies will face me from mid-range when shooting a bow / crowssbow, which in my opinion breaks the stealth archery playstyle.
There are two reasons for this:
- Most bows / crossbows are silent when shot, some bows like the Nightingale Bow for example are not (I guess this isn't intended).
- Arrow / bolt projectiles make a sound when they travel, which leads the enemy in your direction when you shoot near them.
Therefore this mod does two things:
- Makes all bows / crossbows silent (audio is still played of course)
- Makes all arrow / bolt projectiles silent (only while traveling - impact still makes a sound for enemies to detect)
! NOTE THAT THIS MOD ONLY AFFECTS VANILLA / CC CONTENT BOWS, ARROWS AND BOLTS !
--- HOW IT WORKS ⚙️ ---
I adjusted the following records via SSEEDIT:
Bows
Projectiles

- Mod Manager: Download the file and install it with your favorite mod manager. It will automatically detect if you use CC Content.
- Manually: Download the file, unzip it and drop the corresponding .esp file (CC Content / No CC Content) into your Skyrim /data/ directory.
Can be safely uninstalled mid-game.
--- COMPATIBILITY ✅ ---
