📋 About This Mod
Makes animals (rats, bears, boars, mountain lions, mud crabs, dogs, and wolves) behave more naturally. All animals runs a script to determine their behaviour against others. Basically, with this mod you will encounter three types of animals in Cyrodiil: - aggressive animals that attack you on sight (like the original ones do) - shy animals that flee when they see you, but that will defend themselves if attacked - passive animals that initially ignore you, but attack if you get too close changelog: v1. 0 - initial release v1. 1 - separate edition with friendly Will o\'the Wisp (tag_NaturalWildLife_wotw.esp) v1. 2 - doesn\'t modify the dog any more (there are no wild dogs, just marauder and bandit dogs) - the Will o\'the Wisp is not friendly any more - doesn\'t modify Confidence for passive animals, because it caused some of them to ignore you even when attacked v1. 3 - all animals now have a slight chance to flee when you approach them, but will still defend themselves when attacked - all passive animals will attack if you get too close - animals inside dungeons are not always aggressive any more, but will of course attack if/when you get too close
