📋 About This Mod
Sea of Spirits A real whale of a tale!Description: This mod turns the Sea of Ghosts (and the rest of the seas in Skyrim and Solstheim) into a lively Sea of Spirits by adding many new sea creatures, like whales, narwhals, several kinds of sharks, dreugh, and many others to the seas. Essentially this mod is just a "sea creatures-only" version of our Beasts of Tamriel mod (although it doesn't have all of the sea creatures in BoT).
Requirements: Requires the Dragonborn DLC.
Recommended Mods: Skyrim Behavior Organizer by Zartar (adds underwater combat) Snow Whale Bones by RustyShackleford Script free ship sailing by ElstarTomas
Known Issues: Don't use this mod if you're already using our Beasts of Tamriel mod. It shouldn't cause too much incompatibility, but you'll get duplicates of almost everything. Also the mod may have issues if you use it with mods that add ships to the seas, like Navies of Skyrim, which add lots of ships to areas with sea creatures in them, effectively causing collision issues which result in large sea creatures like the whales being lifted over the ships. Since there are many mods that add ships, the easiest fix for this would be to go into the CK with both SoS and the ship mod you're using loaded and manually move the whales away from the ships the mod adds.
