Description =========== This mod adds 20 new creature companions based on Blackie's CM Partners mod. These companions are three wolfs Kazan, Grey Wolf, and Ghost, a tiger Shere Khan, a panther Bagheera, a leopard Namir, a snow leopard Fahd, a polar bear Yukon, a bear Baloo, two dogs White Fang and Tim, a black and silver unicorn Black Beauty, three deers Ram, Niabi and Bambi, three white deers Sar, Sidhe and Falina, a fox Tod and a horse Babieca.
You can find Kazan, Grey Wolf, Shere Khan and Bagheera at the Arboretum (Imperial City). You can find Ghost, Fahd and Yukon in Bruma, at the Castle's courtyard or its surroundings. You can find Namir, Baloo, White Fang and Black Beauty in Anvil, in front of the Dibella's Chapel, near the gate that leads to the Castle, or its surroundings. You can find Tim, Tod, Ram, Niabi, Bambi, Sar, Sidhe, Falina and Babieca at the Green Emperor Way (Imperial City).
To recruit and interact with them go into sneak mode and then activate them (like if you were to steal). A window will pop up showing you the options you can choose.
Even though I've set their intelligence to 100, animals seem to have some difficulty in going through doors, at least I cannot make them go through the Arboretum doors after recruiting them. If that is also your case, fast travel to any location and they should follow you without problems after doing it.
All of them will level with you being always 1 level less than you. All deers and the fox have a lower confidence than the rest of the animals, that means that there is a chance they will choose to run away instead of fighting, but they are able to fight.
I've set all of them to Essential, so they cannot die. If you want to change them to Non-essential, you can use the mod Set Essential Actors Needs OBSE. It adds a spell that allows you to change the Essential tag of any NPC or actor.
I have set map markers for them, to make it easy for you to find them if they get lost. To see the map markers, select the Parterns quest in your diary. <
