📋 About This Mod

NEW UPDATES!! SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE INFO!!

This mod is my own personal take on what wolves in Skyrim SHOULD have looked like right from the beginning. To me, Vanilla Skrim wolves have always seemed way too ugly, skinny, plastic and manky!  Any wolf with even half an ounce of hunting ability in skyim should be fat and healthy, especially when you consider the sheer abundance of 'easy prey' in Skyrim.

The aim is to 'pretty up' the wovles and give them a realistic appearace closer to what they are in nature: stunningly beautiful killing machines!
