Returning player - archer build

Post by Revella »

Hi all,

I’m returning to Skyrim (Anniversary Edition) after playing it quite a few years ago. I really enjoy ranged, sneaky playstyles and am planning to build a stylish female archer character.

I also had problems with motion sickness in the past, but I understand that there are now mods and settings that can help fix that. I’d appreciate any up-to-date advice or recommendations on:

Best motion sickness fixes (FOV settings, camera mods, etc.)

Mods to improve archery feel and responsiveness

Visual mods to make the game look colourful and modern without being too gritty

Stylish character mods (I love playing good-looking characters with nice armor and hair options)

Any recommended load orders or tips for using Vortex effectively

I’m aiming for a fairly clean, stable build without overloading the game with hundreds of mods.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice!

For motion sickness, try setting FOV to 85–90 and use SmoothCam. For archery, Archery Gameplay Overhaul and Scoped Bows are great. For visuals, go with Cathedral Weathers, Rudy ENB, and Skyland AIO. For stylish characters, use KS Hairdos, CBBE/BHUNP, and Bijin mods. Use LOOT with Vortex for load order and keep your mod list clean for stability. Have fun!

Scoped Bows and Archery Gameplay Overhaul are excellent for archery. Choose Skyland AIO, Rudy ENB, and Cathedral Weathers for graphics. Use Bijin modifications, CBBE/BHUNP, and KS Hairdos to create fashionable characters.
