📋 About This Mod
This is an edit of already existing mod: Where are all birds going.
While I really loved an addition of birds to the game's world... I pretty much hated everything else about that mod.
This plugin removes any additional creatures, alongside with some other bothersomes.
A quick change-list what has been done:
- Removed Bats, Bees, Fireflies and Butterflies (alongside with their spawning references in script). Included an optional esp, which preserves Butterflies...;
- A significant nerf on birds stats (they are no longer OP!);
- Lowered value of all loot from birds to 1 coin + removed all alchemical effects (no more grinding poor birds);
- AI (should) no longer run crazy around, in attempt to kill creature stuck in a wall. Some birds can still turn aggressive once in a while however (very rarely).
Installation:
This mod still requires original files. First, install Where are all birds going then replace abot's esp file with mine (pick only 1 from archive).
Credits of original mod goes to: Abot, Lady Eternity & Proudfoot, Cait Sith, Thaedyn Vyr & Kacper/Kagz, Daduke
