📋 About This Mod
Damaged Skeletons - Levelled List Patches
adds Mihails skeletons to regular skeleton levelled lists
they will spawn alongside regular skeletons at their spawn points
will also spawn with skeleton levelled list items i.e. weapons and shields
Two versions are available one for regular skyrim and another for High Level Enemies Redux
patches also available for a couple of popular mods that add items to levelled lists as they will conflict
alternative versions available to give Mihail skeletons non-levelled weapons as a fallback if a patch is not available
or if you wish to play game with the original mihail skeleton weapons list
Q: Skeletons are spawning with no weapons! Whats going on?!
A: You have a mod thats adding weapons to skeleton levelled lists and its conflicting with this one,
if there isn't a patch available yet use the compatibility version.
N. B. not all skeletons will have shields but no weapons? Thats a bug.
(except for the ones without arms of course! They're weaponless)
Q: Where is the Ancient Draugr Shields mod SE version? I can't find it!
A: There isn't one you need to download the LE version and then resave the .esp from the SSE Creation Kit
the included meshes and textures are fine as is but you can run them through CAO if you really want to.
Q: Do I need to use it?
A: No its just a favourite of mine but its not required.
Q: How do get JS Shout Apart Skeletons SE to work with this/Mihail skeletons in general?
A: Edit the JS Shout Apart Skeletons SE_DISTR.ini file by highlighting & copying and pasting this line below:
Spell = 0x800~JS Shout Apart Skeletons SE.esp|NONE|DLC1BlackSkeletonRace,DLC1SoulCairnSkeletonNecroRace,SkeletonNecroRace,SkeletonRace,mihaildmgskel_race1,mihaildmgskel_race2,mihaildmgskel_race3,mihaildmgskel_race4,mihaildmgskel_race5,mihaildmgskel_race6,mihaildmgskel_race7,mihaildmgskel_race8,mihaildmgskel_race9,mihaildmgskel_race10|NONE|NONE|NONE|100

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (560k+) shows it's a go-to for skeleton variety
- Simple patch that makes Mihail's skeletons spawn naturally without console commands
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says—no bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Damaged Skeletons mod, so it's not standalone
- Only affects skeleton spawns—if you want other Mihail creatures integrated, look elsewhere
For Skyrim players who already use Mihail's Damaged Skeletons and want them to appear in dungeons and crypts without manual spawning. Skip if you don't use Mihail's creature mods or prefer a full creature overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, deploy after installing to avoid conflicts.
