📋 About This Mod

Introduction

Five years of werewolf modding led to this project, and before I say anything I would like to thank everyone who played the Tales of Lycanthropy or Moonlight Tales mod series. Without your support, I would have never made this mod. Thank you!

Be The Werewolf!

Moonlight Tales Special Edition is a complete werewolf gameplay overhaul including: lunar transformations, completely new perk tree with 32 unique perks, innovative roaring system, skin system, werebears, moon howling and revert form, werewolf looting and interactions, extensive human form powers, custom animations, sound effects and more!

This version is the port of the Moonlight Tales Special Edition mod to the original Skyrim. It is identical to the Skyrim SE release. See the Special Edition page for a more complete description or if you wish to comment.
