Archery Skill
Update 2/12/2024: This new update adds interactive hunting to the mod. This is an optional package and you can safely delete the JS_Hunting package if unwanted. Note that this update also edits the target footprints to fix a routing error, so if you have already placed Medium and Long Distance targets, they may appear to move when you re-load into the game.
Sul sul! This mod adds an archery skill to the game. It comes with 5 kinds of bows, 5 kinds of arrows, and 2 kinds of targets, each available in 3 distances. All objects are low-poly and have multiple swatches. Equip a bow or arrow by moving it into your Sim’s inventory and clicking on it.
As your Sims increase their Archery Skill, their accuracy will improve and they will learn to craft objects at the Woodworking Table. When Sims practice, they may use up arrows from time to time, so they can make their own! Sims can also play against each other and win or lose according to their luck and skill level.
Children can also use the Short Distance Target to improve motor skill, and there is a playable Archery Competition event, as well as a competition rabbithole which is available on the mailbox.
