Bears of the North LE

INTRODUCTION

This is a visual overhaul of the bears of Skyrim. Each type of bear (brown,

snow and cave bear) will now have distinct features. Bears are bigger

and feature realistic fur using shell texturing, a technique used in

modern games like RDR2. The hunting trophies have also been updated to

match the new models. The brown bear loading screen uses an improved

model as well for consistency.

BROWN BEARS

Brown bears are the most imposing ones. They are extremely tall and muscular under

the thickness of their fur. Broader heads, thick arms and shorter snouts

are their distinctive features. They are one of the many reasons

Skyrim's wilderness is considered extremely dangerous.

CAVE BEARS

Cave bears are used to live in dark areas and their bodies reflect that. They are

significantly smaller than brown and snow bears, even though they are

still considered large compared to their cyrodiilic counterparts. They

have large eyes and ears to efficiently track down their preys and be

aware of their surrounding in the deep and dark caves they roam. Their

paws and backs also have an increased bone densitiy, a consequence of

the hazards they face in the caverns. As a result, they present bigger

paws and hunched backs.

SNOW BEARS

Snow bears live in the northernmost parts of Skyrim. They have smaller, longer

heads than their counterparts and are a bit smaller than brown bears.

Notorious fans of fish, they won't refuse a bite of a lost pilgrim or

foolish adventurer. Be careful when wandering the shores of the sea of

COMPATIBILITY

It should be compatible with literally anything since it doesn't directly

replace the vanilla models but changes them through a plugin. So if

another mod uses a retextured bear, it will use the vanilla mesh and you

won't experience any issue.
