📋 About This Mod

5 Towns, 5 Breeds of Chocobos, 5 Colors

ESL version (ESPFE/ESP with Record Flags ESL/ ESP tagged ESL)

The Chocobos Mounts are in the 5 Stables (Whiterun, Markath, Riften, Solitude, Windhelm) + IN the 5 Towns (only the Mounts with saddle); and around the towns ...

You have also a few Chocobos Companions (Wait - Follow - Trade - Favor - Dismiss)

You can summon (9) Chocobos Mounts and -simple- Followers (the winged Chocobos) wherever you want.

You can easily DISMISS when you want with a "Spell tome:Dismiss Summoned Chocobo"

The Wild Chocobos are … in the world of Skyrim !

In my other mod with the Chocobos you can summon the Black winged Chocobo with the music of the chocobos ! :

And my mod "Incubated Chocobos" adds the ability to quickly incubate eggs of Chocobos with the fire of the forge, and quickly create a horde of babies Chocobos (5, 15, 50, 100 ...) that are following you as if you were their mother ! :

INSTALLATION and UNINSTALLATION

Only for the manual installation:

1) With « 7 – zip » -or other-  (right click)  you must unzip the downloaded file

2) You have a folder: “Data” (with 2 files: “ChoMo.bsa” and “ChoMo.esp”)

You have to put this folder « Data » in "... Steam/SteamApps/common/Skyrim Special Edition"

For the manual and the NMM installations:

3) When you start the game you must check "ChoMo.esp" at the bottom of the list to obtain the 10 books … OK … play (Normally, this is done automatically !)

You can find the “Spell tome: Summon XXXX Chocobo and the “Spell tome: Dismiss Summoned Chocobo” at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach/Fort Dragon (Whiterun/Blancherive) or with an other "Spell Vendor" (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace in Solitude)

You can have ALL the mounts of my mods, BUT to obtain/buy the books /spells/ mounts of a new downloading mod, YOU MUST PUT this one at the bottom of list when you launch the game, EVERY TIME ! ... And you buy the books IMMEDIATELY before downloading a new mod ! ... ALL my mods are

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 190 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads.
  • ESL-flagged so it won't eat your load order slots—great for mod-heavy setups.
  • Adds a fun Final Fantasy flair to Skyrim with multiple breeds and colors.

⚠️ Cons

  • The mod is purely cosmetic/creature—no new quests or gameplay depth beyond mounts and followers.
  • Compatibility risk with mods that overhaul stables or town layouts, since Chocobos are placed in those locations.
  • The description references other mods (Black Chocobos, Incubated Chocobos) but doesn't clarify if they're required or just optional extras.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want a whimsical Final Fantasy crossover and enjoy collecting colorful mounts. Perfect for roleplayers or anyone tired of vanilla horses. Skip if you're looking for serious gameplay overhauls—this is purely about Chocobo fun.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install—it's a simple drag-and-drop, but a manager makes uninstalling clean.
  • The dismiss spell tome is essential—keep it in your inventory to unsummon Chocobos when they get in the way.
  • If you use other mods that alter stables (like city overhauls), check for conflicts and consider a compatibility patch.
