INSTALLATION

Only for the manual installation:

1) You have to put the folder « Data » in "... Steam/SteamApps/common/skyrim "

For the manual and the NMM installations:

2) You must place the new .esp at the bottom of the list in the "Data Files" when you launch the game to obtain the 17 books...(Normally, this is done automatically !)

3) (Only if you have download other mods "Summon...") You must INSTALL the summons (my other mods "summon") ONE BY ONE ! (ALL my mods are STANDALONE !)

You can find the “Spell tome: Summon Spectral XXXX”, the “Spell tome: Summon XXXX”, the “Spell tome: Dismiss Summoned Farm animals”, at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach/Fort Dragon (Whiterun/Blancherive) or with an other "Spell Vendor" (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace/Palais Bleu in Solitude).

Duration of the summon: 1 hour (15' for the spectral mounts)

4) You can put in your Skyrim.ini ( user / my documents / my games / Skyrim ) the following settings (you can copy / paste the following):

fVanityModeMaxDist=2000. 0000

fVanityModeMinDist=10. 0000

fMouseWheelZoomMinDelta=0. 0050

fMouseWheelZoomSpeed=0. 8000

fMouseWheelZoomIncrement=0. 01

fMinCurrentZoom=0. 001

These settings allow you to see all mounts (of my mods) correctly, whether your character takes his weapon out or not

Bugs or Problems

1) Sometimes there is some "distortions" of the neck of the geese...

The Chickens and the Goose can’t jump, fly or swim…

If you dismount in the water with the Chickens or the Goose, it is possible to swim in the air !! Solution: MOUNT AGAIN or SPACEBAR

2) You can only have one Follower at a time: if you want a di

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2015, check if your Skyrim version is compatible—if you're on Special Edition, you may need to convert the mod or use a compatibility patch.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod, making it easy to remove if issues arise.
  • When summoning animals, be aware they might not be as sturdy as regular mounts—keep a spare horse nearby for tough fights.
