📋 About This Mod
A simple-ish carcass harvesting system for animals, requires MenuQue, Skyrim Ingredients for Oblivion, and COBL. Supports farm animals as well.
I decided to return to modding in the worst way possible.
I really like the mod Hunterborn for Skyrim, always wanted an Oblivion equivalent. I'm not skilled enough to make something like that though, so I made a very simplified version of the concept. Releasing this for now as a simple proof of concept I guess, might do some more with it later.
Let me break it down for you Mark:
You kill an animal like normal. Upon activating the carcass, you get a popup asking if you'd like to simply skin the animal and collect its ingredients (i.e antlers), or if you'd like to process the whole carcass (the WHOLE HOG).
Depending what option you select, the appropriate amount of time elapses, and you receive the appropriate amount of meat, ingredients, items, and bones.
If you want to manually loot the corpse like vanilla, sneak-activate it. You won't be able to manually loot any of meat or pelts or anything though. Supported animals include bears, boars, deer, horses, mountain lions, crabs, rats, sheep, slaughterfish and wolves for now. We also adjusted the base prices for vanilla pelts, and added some new ones.
Supports Oblivion Cats as well. And by supports I mean you can't butcher the cats bro.
This mod requires Skyrim Ingredients for Oblivion and COBL to make the hunting actually worthwhile, despite Guar's complaining. It also now requires MenuQue for Guar's sexy new menus.
"I'll probably make a vanilla version, I fucking HATE having Mike's Hard Lemonade in my Oblivion. I will never install COBL for any other purpose." - DFTG.
UPDATE: I'm a woman. I love Millstone Farm by Korana. I like Mr Siikas Farm Animals. I made this mod compatible with both.
UPDATE 2: After user feedback, I'm no longer a woman. But there's an ini file now and a hunting skill. See changelog for more info.
In the future I'd like to make the added pelts compatible with OCraft, but I'm a lazy little goblin at the moment.
Known Issues:
So far, there's a relatively minor incompatibility with OCraft - Stations For Sale. With the latter mod installed, vanilla sheep will not be supported due to a script conflict. Tis unfortunate. Modded sheep still seem to work just fine though.
Credit to Don't Feed The Guar for patiently holding my hand through every aspect of the scripting for this. Would never have been able to do this without them <3
