📋 About This Mod

Due to the demise of PES I am making all my previously released mods available here. Originally released May 2008

This is a simple mod that just adds more variety of colour to the rats in game.

Ok... it does a little more than that ;)

It adds different coloured rats to the creature levelled lists.

White rats will mostly only be found in Vivec.

These have evolved from escaped pet rats and are a bit stronger than other rats.

Although all these rats are very slightly stronger and quicker they are by nature more docile...

unless diseased or blighted of course.

Only blighted black rats added in the Red mountain region

Only grey and black added to caves

Brown and tan in the wilds except in Molag Mar, Sheogorad and Ascadian Isles areas where you may find only grey.

you will also find more grey rats around the port areas and in ships holds.

Rats have also been added to most towns and villages... their colour will depend on the area.

This will also replace individually placed rats in game with a new rat levelled list which can be any colour...

There is always the chance you will still only see the existing rust rats though.

You will now of course see more rats... but not to many :)

This Bloodmoon version ("wl_rats_bm.esp") adds 20 snow rat spawn points around Solstheim and 6 mixed rat spawn points around Raven Rock once the new colony is built.

In addition to this the Tribunal version ("wl_rats_tr.esp") also replaces the individual rat around Mournhold with mixed rat spawn points, note some may spawn as diseased

NOTE !!! ONLY ENABLE ONE !!!
