📋 About This Mod
This mod has two parts:
First, it replaces the texture for the eggs and nests. It effects the hawk nests and eggs from Hearthfire as well.
Second, it allows you to smash open the eggs with weapon, arrow, or spell for a raw egg yolk and an egg shell. The spider eggs don't drop a shell or yolk but will explode into spider hatchlings everywhere if you hit them which you do not have to do (either a valuable lesson for your Dovahkiin or a continuation of their war on spiders). The mod does not use any scripts to accomplish this.
The egg yolk is a food item, making it an easy meal if you have some eggs but no cooking pot or just want to feel like Gaston. The shell is an extremely weak version of the ingredient - it's basically junk, but having it pick-upable allows you to clean up your mess!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 330 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Adds a fun, destructive interaction to a common world object.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't overhaul anything else.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2020, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
- Limited scope—only affects eggs and nests, so it won't change much else.
- Potential conflicts with other texture or gameplay overhauls that modify the same objects.
For Skyrim players who enjoy small immersion tweaks and want to smash eggs for fun. If you're a completionist who likes interactive clutter, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes or if you're on a version of Skyrim that might not support older mods.

- Check if your Skyrim version is compatible with mods from 2020, especially if you're on the latest Special Edition update.
