Personally I'm with you on the bow in NV, it does feel a little out of place in a cowboy/western themed setting (I know I know Indians and all) You didn't deserve negative rep. If you want NPCs to be more of a pain in the ass. Overhauls many aspects of the AI and adds some nifty little features This one makes AI more challenging, maybe not for everyone

If you want any more mods to try out I recommend some mods that allow enemies to take cover, provide covering fire, and overall doesn't make all enemy NPCs do some suicidal banzia charge at you. That is the one downside of the mod is that its almost impossible to re-hide without a stealthboy. Bear in mind when your cover is blown in this mod, your cover is BLOWN! Ghouls, mutants, legion, deathclaws, you name it will swarm you.

But sometimes its a little confusing how to configure. I do have some problems personally: It improves sneaking around enemies greatly. I like that you use Cover Based Stealth which is good and bad. One, it makes each NPC act like an individual, making their own decisions. For example, everything can one shot you and when the AI is accurate, a 10mm pistol or a caravan shotgun becomes the most frustrating thing to deal with. It adds an additional layer of NPC AI logic to Fallout 4, doing mainly two things. AI is really a problem when you have a damage modifier. The AI accuracy is decent against enemies with snipers, which inst really a problem when playing vanilla or modded. The AI in New Vegas as always been comically bad, yet painfully good at times.
