📋 About This Mod



  • []This mod is a compilation of my Chicken Replacer (LE/SE-AE), More Chicken Variants (LE/SE-AE) and Chicks (LE/SE-AE) mods. If you use these 3 mods, by downloading this new file you will be able to delete their 2 esps (one of them has no .esp), thus saving space in your load order;

    []Obviously you should not use this mod together with the 3 mentioned above, since they are already compiled in this new file, and using them at the same time will double the amount of these creatures in your game, in addition to other possible problems;

    []If you use, like and value my work, please consider giving an endorsement. I've worked hard for years to offer you the best of me for free, and the only thing I ask in return is this gesture, which increases my relevance and engagement on Nexus, and motivates me to continue;

    []I do not inspect or have any influence over translations of my mods (including those linked directly on my pages), nor do I have any power over patches or add-ons made to my content. So, before using any unofficial add-ons for my mods, make sure they conform to the latest version of my official release, and never use these if they don't. The same applies to Xbox ports;

    Due to the poor quality of the model, a detailed re-texture of it was never possible, so I deci
