📋 About This Mod
Small lightweight mod that will add over 60 enemies to your game. My goal is to expand upon the sadly neglected hagraven faction while being consistent within vanilla framework. No more laughable vanilla level 4 and 8 witches with no perks, now they will level up to 60 and have standard caster perks. Beware, hagravens will become much harder enemies as they should be.
Witches and hagravens will use familiar summons, patch to add mysticism poison spells can be found in the optional files. I mostly made this mod because it's one faction, heritage and other mods typically do not cover.
Version 1. 2 Features completely new outfits for witches which contains some of the farm clothes as well as new Ancient Nord Robes by Norive.
Coven is a lightweight mod that adds over 60 new enemies to the hagraven faction, aiming to fix the weak vanilla witches by giving them proper perks and scaling. It's for Skyrim players who want a more challenging and varied witch encounter without overhauling the whole game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 608 endorsements and over 137k downloads — clearly a lot of people are running this.
- Lightweight means it won't tank your FPS like some big overhaul mods.
- Fixes a real problem: vanilla witches are pushovers, and this makes them actually threatening.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2022, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or other mods that touch hagraven spawns.
- Adds over 60 new enemies, which could conflict with other mods that alter leveled lists or hagraven encounters.
- If you're using a mod that already overhauls hagraven or witch factions, you might get duplicate or unbalanced spawns.
For Skyrim players who want a tougher, more interesting witch encounter without a massive overhaul. If you're tired of one-shotting level 4 witches and want a real fight, this is for you. Skip if you prefer to keep the vanilla difficulty or if you're already using a comprehensive enemy overhaul that covers hagraven.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install — no extra steps needed.
- Since this mod edits leveled lists, place it early in your load order to let other mods overwrite if needed.
- If you're playing with a mod that changes hagraven spawns, test a witch lair early to see if the new enemies appear correctly.
