📋 About This Mod
~~~Main Features~~~
~ESP Tweaks:
The fluffworks esp has been replaced by an ESL with some changes: horses have been removed; the white stag, painted cow, and armored troll have been added; and the bears and skeevers now use esp texture sets. All the other animals covered by fluffworks, that are not mentioned above, are mesh replacers and are not included in the esp. There are additional esp options available (in the optional files section) that remove bears and/or cows from the esp, for compatibility purposes. Please note that some patches from here will depend on fluffworks' horses, cows, and bears. So additional patching may be required for mods such as Steeds of Skyrim, Mihail's Cows, or Bears of the North, simply load these mods after mine (as well as any additional patches for these mods).~White Stag:
The white stag now comes in two flavors, reindeer or elk. Texture sets are used to recolor either the fluffworks reindeer or male elk mesh. Patches are available for vanilla, bellyaches, or MM elk, including textures for the male elk option.~Painted Cow: The fluffworks cow mesh is assigned painted cow textures. Shell texture patches are available for vanilla, bellyaches, MM real cows, MacDonald's highland cows, YNSTBIH's better cows, Northwind69's better cows, and Holy Cows
~Troll Expansion: Armored trolls and uderfrykte are now fluffy, and optionally fat. Patches the frost troll and cave troll into their armored variants, plus they are now distinct rather than sharing the frost troll mesh. Optionally make any or all of the trolls rotund beasts. What started as a patch for corpulent trolls, has resulted into its own expanded set of well fed fluffy trolls.
OpusGlasses' Udyrfrykte has also been rehomed here as a replacer option.
~Horse Tweaks: Horses can be re-added back through a separate esl in the fomod; they are AE patched and use texture sets. The Imperial saddle has been refit, and the harness mesh has been added as well. There is an additional mesh option available that is less draft like in shape. This alternative horse option includes its own saddle meshes, and has several patches available. There are also optional patches for IWantATardis's beautiful saddle retexture mods (Nordic, Imperial, Harness, Shadowmere). Please note that if you want vanilla horses, you will need to also remove the horse.nif from fluffworks itself, horses have only been removed from the replacer esp.
~Goat Options:
The domesticated or bell goat has been added, with an optional twist. Since the bell goat uses its own mesh by default, an option has been provided for it to use its own texture. Bellyaches three goat texturFluffworks - Tweaks and Expansion is a rehome and repack of the author's unofficial animal patches, adding new options like more white stag variants, fluffy huskies, and an optional horse tweak.
