📋 About This Mod

This mod adds very many animals in many places through Skyrim (farms especially, windmills, lakes, towns, villages ...)

54 different animals (Boars, Chickens, Swan, Roosters, Chicks, Male and Female mallards, Ducklings, Geese, Cows, Goats, Sheeps, Ram, Pigs, Piglets, Young Wild Boar, Rabbits, Pigeons, Seagulls, Pheasants and Peacocks)

**Lake LLinalta (near Riverwood) - Lake Geir (near Ivarstead) - Lake Honrich (near Riften)

New sounds (boars, peacock with tail, swan, chickens, rabbits, pheasants, ram, cows, sheeps, goats, pigs, goose, pigeon, chick, duckling, male and female mallards, rooster, seagull)

For the « Pack Goat » you have 4 companions with the Dialog Box: Follow - Wait - Favor - Trade - Dismiss (in Half Moon Mill, Karthwasten, Salvius Farm and near the Whiterun Stables) + 3 « wild » !

You can also place all these animals in the place you want thanks to my mod: Repopulate Skyrim with Farm Animals and Birds SE

You can only have one follower at a time: if you want a different one, you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them.

If you have any problem with the dialog box, or if telling the follower to return at home doesn't dismiss him, or if you have lost the active follower, you can try this:

Type “²” or "`" or "~" key to get into console, and type:

set playeranimalcount to 0

With Amazing Follower Tweaks , or other mod with followers, if problem to dismiss the followers, you can uncheck this mod (AFT or other) when you launch the game

If problem with the Dialog Box of the followers/ companions (Wait - Follow - Trade - Favor - Dismiss) you can also enter / exit a house or make a fast travel
