📋 About This Mod
Version: 2. 0. 3 (9/10/13) Now compatible with the 3 DLCs, see \"DLC Patches\" under Optional Files. I did not make these patches, Huillam did. Compatible with Imp\'s More Complex Needs (via compatibility patches)! Sadly, Imp never came through with the new compatibility patch for IMCN 0. 3+ Compatible with Realistic Needs and Diseases (RND_PatchPack under RND\'s optional files).
Realistic Wildlife Loot And Recipes overhauls all wildlife in Skyrim to drop realistic quantities of meat and introduces new meat types, making each hunt more rewarding. It's a classic mod from 2013 with strong community support (4,010 endorsements, 107,750 downloads).

📊 Pros & Cons

- Adds depth to hunting, making it a more viable playstyle
- New meat types and recipes give you more reasons to track down wildlife
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013, so may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or DLC
- No detailed patch notes or compatibility info provided by the author
- Requires a new save or careful testing to ensure it doesn't conflict with other mods
For Skyrim hunters and survivalists who want more realistic and rewarding loot from wildlife. Also great for players who enjoy cooking and alchemy, as the new meat types open up new recipes. Skip if you prefer vanilla loot balance or don't hunt much.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check the mod's comments page for any reported conflicts with popular mods like USLEEP or other loot overhauls.
- If you use a mod manager, install it manually or via manager and place it early in your load order to let other mods overwrite if needed.
- Test hunting a few animals after installation to see if the meat quantities feel balanced for your playthrough.
