Mod: Archery Skill
Added 2022-11-27 23:47:32 +0000 UTC
Updated 8/20/25: Updated for minor animation bugfix.
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.

2025-10-01 13:07:06 +0000 UTCHi I was just wondering if you have any plans to work this in with the new adventure awaits pack? They’re adding archery but I’m still going to miss using it to hunt :(
Morgan Soto
2025-09-29 20:58:49 +0000 UTCQuestion, is the hunting spot not working anymore? I could not find it. :) Thank you so much for you awesome mods.

2025-04-21 14:30:32 +0000 UTCWould it be possible to make archery into a holiday tradition for seasons?

2025-03-11 18:09:36 +0000 UTCHey Jane, Still loving this mod. Was curious if you would also consider adding a like and dislike to it whenever you have the opportunity. It would be really fun to have.

2025-02-17 14:37:16 +0000 UTCi usually cheat it using ui cheat or mccmd (just like any other skills)

2024-12-03 18:46:34 +0000 UTCThank you for this mod! Just wanted to ask is there a cheat to maximise the archery skill?

2024-11-21 13:30:36 +0000 UTCHey, I ran into an issue, the archery stuff doesn't show up in the crafting menu of the woodworking table for me, despite having almost maxed out my handiness skill, did I miss something?

2024-05-16 03:29:35 +0000 UTCIs there a plan to have archery and hunting club activities? I see an archery skill as a club requirement.
cmd405
2024-04-07 16:11:42 +0000 UTCIt looks as though you've turned the archery objects folder into a single file now?
Cass H
2024-03-04 01:13:34 +0000 UTCOh yes! You only need one in your game, but they're exactly the same so if you have both it won't harm anything. :)
Jane Simsten
2024-02-22 18:28:28 +0000 UTCHello, just to confirm, if we have both archery and marksmanship should we delete one of the JS Hunting packages? It is being flagged as a duplicate by BE currently so I wanted to check to make sure.

2024-02-22 18:03:30 +0000 UTCHi dear Jane! Here is my Spanish Translation. And I wanna say too, that I am so excited about all your mods and the next one. Thank you so much for your work. https://www.patreon.com/posts/tiro-con-arco-x-98643032

2024-02-17 12:01:41 +0000 UTCHi, sorry I should have made it clearer in the mod description. In Buy Mode you can place an object called Hunting Spot - that is where you can hunt.
Jane Simsten
2024-02-17 01:53:26 +0000 UTCHow do I send sims hunting w the archery mod? I have not figured it out, do I also need to add the marksmanship mod?

2024-01-31 06:44:20 +0000 UTC"Practice Archery on the Medium Distance Target " Regardless of their level, my Sims cannot access the Medium or Long Distance Targets. The just shrug as if they cannot get to them.
