📋 About This Mod

Gerbils Mounts and Followers

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

With this mod, you can summon 47 Followers: many with different Gerbils + you can ride Chickens, Chocobos, Bantam Guar and Dwarven Miners + you can incubate some eggs with the fire of the forge, and quickly create a horde of little Creatures (Chickens, Dwarven Miners, Chocobos ...with Gerbils) !

To have the SUMMONABLE Followers, you must buy the “Spell tome: Summon XXXX”, at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach/Fort Dragon (Whiterun) or with an other "Spell Vendor" (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace/Palais bleu in Solitude).

With the books, you have the spells....

The creature is following you, if you do not want any more,you have another book/spell to unsummon this follower ! (You can't trade with these followers)

INSTALLATION (very important)

1) You must place the new .esp at the bottom of the list in the Data Files when you launch the game to obtain the 33 books...(Normally, this is done automatically)

2) (Only if you have download other mods "Summon...") You must INSTALL the summons (my other mods "summon") ONE BY ONE ! to obtain the books (ALL my mods are STANDALONE !). If you have not bought a book/spell, NO PROBLEM, you can always put again this mod at the bottom of the list… buy the books, etc...

You can find the “Spell tome: Summon XXXX”,at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach/Fort Dragon (Whitherun/Blancherive) or with an other Spell Vendor (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace/Palais Bleu in Solitude).

3) You can put in your Skyrim.ini ( user / my documents / my games / Skyrim Special Edition ) the following settings (you can copy / paste the following):

fVanityModeMaxDist=2000. 0000

fVanityModeMinDist=10. 0000

fMouseWheelZoomMinDelta=0. 0050

fMouseWheelZoomSpeed=0. 8000

fMouseWheelZoomIncrement=0. 01

fMinCurrentZoom=0. 001

These settings allow you to see all mounts (of my mods) correctly, whether your character takes his weapon out or not

HORDES of CREATURES (with the Incubated Eggs)

This version adds the ability to quickly incubate eggs with the fire of the forge, and quickly create hordes of little creatures (5, 15, 50, 100, MORE ? ...ATTENTION with the freezes in your computer !) that are following you as if you were their mother !
