I really love the mod Bears of the North from JPSteel2 and has a permanent spot in my modlist. However, this mod has a tiny problem. Or should i say, a big problem.
The sizes of the bears from that mod tho i like them to be large, can have it's problems in game. Bears getting stuck in caves and small places and so on.
I have made a patch for this a very long time ago and using eversince. This patch brings the bears to their original vanilla sizes but still have the visuals of the bears from original mod.
It also has the speed and reach values from Mortal Enemies for better gameplay.
Thats it and nothing more.
Just install with favorite mod manager and overwrite.
Only requirements are Bears of the North from JPSteel2.
And i believe this suffices for permission to upload patches for this mod.
