📋 About This Mod

Prehistoric Animals by mr_siika Contains two prehistoric species: - Mastodon (elephant like creature) - Triceratops (herbivorous dinosaur) The test-esp shows both animals near fort Sutch (there\'s a map marker for the animals) Mastodon and Triceratops offer 100% custom meshes. Both creatures can be used and/or retextured for other (Oblivion) mods, as long as proper credit is given. Known issues: Both animals are rigged to the sheep skeleton and thus have to be scaled (since they are supposed to be bigger than sheep). Strangely enough, when the scale is set to a value bigger than 3. 8 or so, the creatures start to \"hover\". Must be an engine bug or so. If someone finds a way to scale the skeleton so that the creatures can be bigger without hovering, please contact me via tesnexus or the official forum. Have fun, ms

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this is a modder's resource, you'll need to import the creatures into your own mod using the game's modding tools.
  • Check if the game version you're modding supports assets from 2008—older models may need conversion.
  • If you're a player, look for mods that use this resource to see the creatures in action.
