📋 About This Mod

FLYING CROWS LITE

Flying Crows by KongeMeier is a wonderful mod that adds circling crows flying overhead. I also have over 2k mods and have a ridiculous loadout at some of the same areas where there are large groups of crows.  Under normal circumstances it's not an issue and the original mod ticks along just fine, but if you're like me and have turned your Skyrim into a heaving stew, you might have fancied a trimmed down edition of the crows mod, and I have removed half the crows, in this Flying Crows LITE edition.

This is the edited plugin, therefore you still require the original mod for its resources. Download it here, then use my plugin to overwrite.  While your on their modpage, remember to leave a thanks and endorse the original mod.

FAQ

LIGHT PLUGIN:

The plugin is an ESP FE so it doesn't add towards your Load Order plugin count.

CLEANED:

Yes, cleaned in QAC

DYNDOLOD:

If you used Flying Crows with DynDOLOD previously, remember to re-run DynDOLOD otherwise you might CTD!

CLASSIC EDITION:

Yes, go here > Flying Crows LITE for Skyrim Classic

CREDITS, PERMISSIONS AND THANKS:

Credits to Kongemeir and IAmHovah for the original mods, modpage artwork, and for granting me permission to upload my edits.

You are welcome to include any of my work in mod collections and wabbajack lists, all I ask is you credit me.

Thanks to all those folk who have supported me here, on Discord, Kofi and Patreon, it's really appreciated.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Performance-friendly: half the crows means less strain on your rig.
  • Community favorite with 502 endorsements and nearly 100k downloads.
  • Keeps the atmospheric crow flocks without the full mod's overhead.

⚠️ Cons

  • Not updated since October 2022, so may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions.
  • Half the crows means less visual density—if you want a sky full of crows, this isn't it.
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Skyrim's creature spawns or weather systems.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want the atmospheric touch of flying crows but are worried about performance. If you're on a lower-end PC or running a heavy mod list, this is a solid choice. Skip if you want the full crow experience or if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place the mod in your load order after other creature mods to avoid conflicts.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep things clean.
  • Test in an area with open sky to see the crows in action—they're most visible in tundra or mountain regions.
