I've been a fan of Madrilous's Throwing Weapons mods for a long time. The problem is that they were too script heavy for my machine to handle quickly. This mod is a fix for that and implements throwing weapons in a very "script light" fashion.
=========
Features:
=========
The weapons show up as ammo in your inventory, have weight, and are equipped to the right hand. NPCs and followers can also use the weapons. They're added to the leveled lists dynamically using scripts so it can maintain compatibility with all other mods.
The damage of the weapons increases in relation to the player's one-handed (or marksmanship) skill and level it up on successful hits. They also cost stamina to throw and damage can be doubled or halved depending on how much stamina you have when you throw. Damage from the throwing weapons also benenfits from sneak attacks and is reduced by the target's armor rating or can be completely negated with a shield or ward.
As of Version 2.0, new grenade weapons have been added. These weapons can be crafted using a new power you recieve called "craft grenades." You start off knowing only how to craft a couple of them and have to collect formulas that can be found on enemies, in dungeon chests, and occasionally in alchemy shops.
Currently, these are the weapons available:
Throwing Knives:
These are the fastest to throw, do weak damage, and fly at a medium distance. Weight is 0.1. They lightly stagger opponents and also benefit from added damage during a sneak attack.
Throwing Axes:
These do the most damage, fly the shortest distance, and have a medium throwing speed. Weight is 5. They stagger opponents on hit.
Javelins:
These fly the farthest, do moderate damage, and but have the slowest throwing speed. Weight is 9. They heavily stagger opponents on hit.
Oil Pots:
Dwarven oil pots that lay down a burning slick of oil that damages anyone that is caught in them. Weight is 0.25.
Frost Potion Grenades:
A bottle of ice cold liquid that freezes opponents solid on contact and does frost damage. It's also available as a poison that can be found
in alchemy shops and be applied to weapons and arrows. Weight is 0.5.
Smoke Bombs:
Bombs that stagger opponents caught in the initial explosion and release smoke clouds that blind opponents and can be used as cover. Weight is 1.
Grenades:
The most powerful throwing weapon of all! Explodes with massive force and heavily damages anyone caught in the explosion after a few seconds.
Be very afraid when you hear the trademark sound of this weapon's burning fuse. However, if you're quick enough (and brave enough) these weapons can be disarmed by activating them. Weight is 3.

Requirements:
=============
Dragonborn.esm
Dawnguard.esm
Update.esm
Strongly Recommended:
Dynamic Animation Replacer
Optional:
FNIS or Nemesis
SKSE
SkyUI
=============
Installation:
=============
Use Vortex/NMM/Mod Manager to install and choose your options. If you choose the 3rd person alternate animations option, make sure you have FNIS or Nemesis installed. If you are using the DAR update, then you need Dynamic Animation Replacer and don't need FNIS or Nemesis. Select nothing under the animation options.
or
Extract the esp and bsa/loose files into the data folder
You should get a notification in-game that the mod is installed.
If using the FNIS optional add-on, install it via the mod manager and then run FNIS or Nemesis. You should get a notification in-game that the FNIS add-on was installed properly.
===============
Uninstallation:
===============
Use Vortex/NMM/Mod Manager to uninstall
or
Remove the bsa/loose files and esp file
==============
Compatibility:
==============
Mods that automatically loot items off the ground like Jaxonz Smart Looter are INCOMPATIBLE with my mod and will cause CTDs. Due to how the game was designed, collectible projectiles if fired from a spell will cause CTDs if looted in the vanilla fashion. Normally, my mod bypasses this by giving you a perk to handle the throwing weapons' projectiles and prevents normal activation. Mods that automatically loot items off the ground will need compatibility patches to tell them to ignore projectiles from my mod. A possible workaround is to turn off the feature that auto-loots projectiles.
Mods that automatically hide or unequip ammunition like Auto Hide Ammo and Auto Unequip Ammo will also have issues like invisible ammunition and weird behavior on equipping weapons. For "Auto Hide Ammo" check the "compatibility" section of that mod for a workaround.
Also, if using the Alternate 1st Person Anims option, mods that conflict with the 1st person "0_master.hkx" "magicbehavior.hkx" and "sprintbehavior.hkx" will be incompatible. I highly recommend using the DAR version under "updates" instead and installing Dynamic Animation Replacer to maximize compatibility with other mods that modify behavior files.
Besides that, this mod should be 100% compatible with anything and everything (including mods that modify perk trees!).
==================
Recommended Mods:
==================
Dynamic Animation Replacer
Under "updates" there is a file that takes advantage of Felisky384's Dynamic Animation Replacer plugin to handle Throwing Weapons Lite's alternate 1st and 3rd person animations. Using that file and DAR will maximize compatibility with other mods that modify behavior files. FNIS and Nemesis are not needed if you use this option.
FNIS or Nemesis
In the optional files, there is a download that adds new 3rd person animations for throwing weapons and utilizes FNIS alternate animations to make them work. Great for those who want to keep their magic casting animations unchanged.
Character Behaviors Enhanced By Zartar
The throwing weapons can be thrown on horseback when paired with the mounted casting feature of Zartar's Character Behaviors Enhanced.If you want to use my mod with CBE, I highly recommend using the DAR version of Throwing Weapons Lite.With the DAR version and Dynamic Animation Replacer, you can throw the weapons underwater and in the air too. I also recommend installing Nemesis if you want to patch CBE with other FNIS-dependent mods or mods that tweak behaviors.
SkyUI
Version G.04 adds an MCM menu with which you can customize damage and ammo recovery chance with.
Belt-Fastened Quivers by Chesko
Version 3.04 has a patch for Chesko's Belt-Fastened quivers in the "Miscellaneous" section. The javelin's are on the back like arrows and with Chesko's mod will be worn across the lower back. All other throwing weapons will be worn on the lower back.
Any mod that allows you to control follower combat style
Since the throwing weapons in this mod are scrolls, this means followers can use them. A follower mod that allows you to control combat style means you can control the frequency that they use throwing weapons which is very useful! To get the maximum amount of "throwage" out of your followers, give them a spell-sword or mage combat style since the weapons are treated as magic by the games AI.
Enemy AI OverHaul---Revenge Of the Enemies
I tested the weapons with this mod on and it makes fighting your enemies even more difficult. They also seem to love spamming the new throwing weapons added to their inventories with this mod on (I'm not sure if that's also true in the vanilla game, but that was definitely the case with this mod on). Even barring that, this mod really makes fighting enemies more challenging which is great.
Fire and Ice Overhaul by Apollodown
The new oil pots work with the features of this mod. BURN BABY BURN!!!!! >:D
Madrilous's Throwing Weapons Mods
Yep! Believe it or not, this mod is 100% compatible with the mod that inspired it! If you want a more robust throwing weapons mod and have a PC that can handle it or even just a larger variety of weapons, feel free to download his mod. I won't judge you... :P
=====
Bugs:
=====
When equipping a crossbow after equipping a throwing weapon or vice versa, there may be a bug where a throwing weapon (usually a smoke bomb) may be automatically equipped or the throwing weapon will be loaded into the crossbow. To prevent this bug, I highly recommend using the "arrow version" optional file if you plan on using the crossbow mainly and not the bow.
