📋 About This Mod
ONE WITH NATURE
DYNAMIC ANIMALS AND CREATURES
BjXgbMn3M7o
One With Nature is designed to give you control over how certain animals and creatures react to your character without altering their original AI or faction relationships. When you open the Mod Configuration Menu, you will find a list of drop down menus for a variety of NPC groups. Each menu offers five reaction settings: Vanilla, Allied, Friendly, Cowardly, and Defensive. Depending on your play style, you can apply different reaction settings to different NPC groups. A druid may wish to become kin to wolves and bears, a fire mage may want ice wraiths to flee in fear, or an intimidating hunter may cause dangerous animals to think twice before attacking.
Vanilla: Returns all settings back to original values. Animals and creatures will behave normally like in the orignal game. 'Vanilla' is the default setting for all options.
Allied: Sets the specified animal or creature as your ally. Allies will generally ignore you and your followers and will often come to your aid in combat. Followers might attempt to defend an allied animal or creature being attacked.
Friendly: Sets the specified animal or creature as your friend. Friends will generally ignore you and your followers but may not come to your aid in combat. Followers are less likely to defend a friendly animal or creature being attacked.
Cowardly: Will cause animals and creatures to flee when you approach them. They will behave normally once they have reached a safe distance from you.
Defensive: Will cause animals and creatures to threaten you or flee when you approach them. If you attack them or they are already in combat, they will fight back. However, they may decide to flee if outmatched. They will behave normally once they have reached a safe distance from you.
***Ambush NPCs are not affected by 'Cowardly' and 'Defensive’ reaction settings to preserve immersion. In addition, certain quest NPCs are excluded from all reaction settings to maintain quest integrity. We have included the debugger tool used during development on the in-game MCM Help page to assist in identifying NPCs that have the Cowardly and Defensive settings available. When active, it adds a fire aura around those NPCs alive or dead. If you encounter an NPC that you believe was either included or overlooked by mistake during development, please let us know.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust – over 10k endorsements means this mod is battle-tested.
- Massive download count (148k) shows it's a go-to for creature tweaking.
- MCM integration makes it easy to adjust on the fly without console commands.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 – might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods.
- Requires SkyUI and MCM – if you don't have those, you're out of luck.
For Skyrim players who want to fine-tune how animals and creatures react to them, whether that's making wolves non-hostile or turning everything aggressive. Perfect for roleplayers and immersion seekers. Skip if you're on a mod list that already overhauls creature AI or if you don't use MCM.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SkyUI and the MCM framework installed – this mod won't work without them.
- Use the MCM menu in-game to adjust settings per creature type; changes apply immediately.
- Check the mod's forum posts for compatibility patches if you use other creature mods.
