📋 About This Mod
CARRY YOUR CARCASSES
A HUNTING COMPANION MOD
I would like to start with a huge thank you to slavicpotato1's Immersive Equipment Displays. Just incredible!! Because of their contribution to the community, I was finally able to make this mod completely script free. Which is great because that kind of thing is WAY above my pay grade. I am a HUGE fan of Hunterborn but it did always bother me that I was carrying a 300 pound animal in my shoe. So taking inspiration from Red Dead Redemption, I got to work.
GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!!
I am excited to announce that I have partnered with JaySerpa on their brand spankin' new Simple Hunting Overhaul. This means a shiny new main file and more than one way to enjoy CYC!! Because the meshes will be the same, the Fluffworks patch and its future updates will also be compatible. I would like to give a shout out to Xynerorias for taking the time to work through IED and adjusting the creatures as needed.

WHAT THIS MOD DOES
-

- []Unsupported carcasses
- Bristleback

[*]Updates inventory items to look like the carcass you're carr
Carry Your Carcasses is an immersion mod for Skyrim that lets you physically carry animal carcasses instead of magically storing them in your inventory.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 3,295 endorsements and 3 million downloads show it's a proven favorite.
- Simple concept that adds a lot of roleplay value—no more pocket deer.
- Still actively maintained as of August 2023, so it's likely compatible with current setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is a joke and gives zero install or compatibility info—you're on your own.
- No mention of patches for popular overhauls like Hunterborn or CACO, so you might need to test.
- If you're on a mod manager, you'll have to figure out load order placement yourself.
For Skyrim roleplayers who want to feel the weight of their hunts and ditch the immersion-breaking inventory system. Perfect for survival or hunter-type characters. Skip if you prefer fast looting or don't care about realistic carcass handling.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is just a plugin, place it near the bottom of your load order to avoid conflicts with other gameplay mods.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the install—just drop the file and enable it.
- Test with a fresh save or after starting a new game to ensure the carcass-carrying mechanic works with your other mods.
