📋 About This Mod
What's this mod about?
Faster spiders! That's it!
But why?!?
Well, some of you might think "why the hell do I want them to be faster?"
That's easy: vanilla spiders are huge, yes and might give some serious arachnophobics some chills, but they are boring, and slow ass ballons you can pop with a fork.
My mod doesn't change anything of their combat behaviour, or their look, but something that didn't get touched by other spider mods I've found. Their speed.
No more wobbly, slow ballons that might or might not reach you in the next two hours. I simply tuned their engine a bit, oiled some limbs and voilà: several times faster spiders!

Faster or slower versions?
Look at the optional files. They don't even need the main file.

Thank you very much for this awesome showcase!
Isn't there already a LE mod doing this?
Yes, but this one's no conversion but created with the SE CK in the first place and an ESPFE plugin.
That's kind of creepy and cruel for arachnophobics, isn't it?
I'm a sadist.
I'm a real arachnophobic, what should I do?
Arachnophobia - as I'm no sadist. Or am I?
