escriptionMy tweaked enhanced and integrated version of these amazing creature replacers made by 4thUnknown and PSBoss.
I provide my plugin (ESPFE format), a .bat script (only used for installation, auto-deleting when executed) and optionally BOS file, but you have to shop first on 4thUnknown's mod page (and/or PSBoss' mod page, depending on your selected version) first to grab their resources.

urrent additions in this plugin- ESPFE plugin.
- Conjure Flame Atronach : when this spell is casted (normal or potent version if you have unlocked the appropriate perk), it will now randomly conjure either vanilla model for Flame Atronach (works with your retextures or other replacers) or 4thUnknown model. The only vanilla edits are for the 2 magic effects, all the other references additions are conflict-free and only used by the mod itself to work. Please note that USSEP changes are followed but this mod is not required as a dependency.
- BOS distribution (no vanilla edit - optional), cautiously to hand-picked locations in the main game and mods (WIP in v1. 0), still with their background, lore and balance in mind. Alt version (ESPFE format) for those who prefer to spawn a vanilla Flame Atronach and a 4thUnknown Flame Atronach for potent version with corresponding perk. You still need to download and install main files (+/- optional BOS distribution) first.
- Patches for various existing mods: Mysticism¹, Odin¹, SPERG¹, Citizens of Tamriel², ezPG², Shadow Spell Package (shadow atronach)¹|³, Flames of Coldharbour (cold flame atronach)¹|³, Desecration (necrotic flame atronach)¹|³.
An alternate version can be found under Miscellaneous section (from Download page), for players who prefer to conjure a 4thUnknown-type potent Flame Atronach only if they have the corresponding perk ("Elemental potency"), and a vanilla-type Flame Atronach the rest of the time, when they cast the spell.
Another alternate version, courtesy of DeluxeFox (also available under Miscellaneous section) enables to randomly conjure either vanilla model, 4thUnknown model or PSBoss model.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 573 endorsements and over 600k downloads
- Random variants keep conjuration gameplay fresh without changing balance
- BOS integration means it works with other mods that add creatures
⚠️ Cons
- Requires BOS (Base Object Swapper) as a dependency, which may be an extra install step
- Only affects Flame Atronachs, so if you want variety for other summons, this won't help
- Last updated in 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods
For Skyrim players who love conjuration and want visual variety without gameplay changes. Perfect for modders who already use BOS and want seamless integration. Skip if you're looking for new creatures or gameplay overhauls—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper (BOS) installed and updated, as this mod relies on it to swap models.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file conflicts—BOS will manage the swaps automatically.
- Check your load order to ensure BOS loads before this mod to avoid any issues with the swaps.
