📋 About This Mod
Simple port of Better Dead Thralls What was done... Mesh optimised and ESP due to bug with the archive tool BSA files were left loose(If you downloaded before 20th July 2017 please redownload) rebuilt to Skyrim SE versions, as far as I have seen so far its working fine in my own game for the last 4 hours, however you should make a backup save before install. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. If you dont know what it does, just straight up cut and paste TXT from orginal mod page...
Improves the Dead Thrall spell to give you greater control over your thralls and make the use of thralls more convenient.
