📋 About This Mod
This mod is for you if you have completed « The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal by Manny » and deleted it, or if you ONLY want to go to the Alikr Desert.
This mod use the OLD VERSION of the Alik'r Desert !
New Version of The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal by Manny and my mods for this version:
(ESL) New animals and new companions with EASY ACCESS in Alik'r Desert (Hammerfell) SE
(ESL) New Flora in Alik'r Desert (Hammerfell) SE
OLD FILES : (ESL) Camels and New Animals in Alik'r Desert SE 8. 5 for the OLD VERSION OF THE GRAY COWL SE NOT A STANDALONE MOD (Avec une trad. Fr.)
You can use both versions in the same game (this standalone version + the 10th anniversary version of Manny's mod)
No quest in this standalone version
Entry is into Whiterun where you will find a portal that will teleport you into Ben Erai (At the Right when entering Whiterun. just follow the ramparts)
With this mod you can ride Hammerfell Camels and Dromedaries and pass easily in the Alik'r Desert where new animals await you (snakes, hyenas, scorpions, Addax antelope, bats, Hammerfell horses, desert elephant, ibex, bighorn, vulture, Hammerfell fowls, Roadrunner, cats)
Will you be able to catch an antelope Addax and tame it (ride it) ... or will you escape the stinger of a scorpion or the bite of a desert snake?
The young elephant follows his father (if he does not move too fast) ... listen to them answer each other with their trumpeting!
There are many animals that can live in desert or semi desert (or arid) regions:

Bugs or Problems
Conflicts (i think, but not tested) with mods who make use of the border regions or gates (Beyond Skyrim: Bruma, Beyond Reach, Rigmor of Bruma, Rigmor of Cyrodill, Unique Border Gate ...)
Semi compatibilty (mod tested) with The Frontier to Cyrodiil (Fight against the Thalmor II) SSE : conflict with the camp of dromedaries because some buildings there (but no CTD: the dromedaries flee, and the redguard fights the thalmors)
The Young Camel have sometimes some neighs like a horse. There is also -rarely- a blink bug (The eyelashes act strange when it blinks)
When the camels of the patrol begin to turn, the movements are usually extremely slow.
