📋 About This Mod
THIS MOD IS THE FORMER JUMPING SPIDERS MOD. IT IS NOW AN
EXTENDED VERSION WITH MORE VARIATIONS OF SPIDERS.
Eleven species of spiders:
Black Widow
Arkansas Chocolate Tarantula
Curlyhair Tarantula
Ivory Ornamental Tarantula
Mexican Redknee Tarantula
Mexican Redleg Tarantula
Socotra Island Blue Baboon Tarantula
Nondescript Giant Tarantula
Nondescript Giant Spider
Boris the Spider
* Jumping Spider
They spawn in the wilderness parts of the map.
They come in four sizes, small, medium, big and giant. The giants have
radscorpion stats. But the smaller the spider, the tougher and more poisonous
it is. Small spiders are ghosts, they don't show on the detectionradar thing or
whatever the hell it is called.
There is an extra patch that I use for testing. It spawns all eleven spiders on
the road south of goodsprings. Be sure to be in god mode (tgm in console) if
you are planning to meet them there, or else you won't survive.
The old Jumping Spiders mod is still available in old files but I will delete
it in the future because it is buggy.
KNOWN ISSUE:
1: There seems to be an issue with spiders not attacking sometimes. It seems
to happen randomly, or when spiders have respawned. This probably is a mod
conflict or an NVSE plugin that's messing things up. I have looked into it
but I haven't found a fix yet. This problem is hard to troubleshoot because
the bug is so random. To get things going again you can disable the ESP,
save the game, re-enable the ESP and load the save again. That works every time.
2. The Blue Baboon Tarantula and Redleg Tarantula have a texture glitch on the
hind legs. I don't really care about that, so this is a won't fix.
