📋 About This Mod
Flying Crows SSE
Now with Real-Time Weather Detection!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mod was originally created on LE by the wonderful KongeMeier. If you've enjoyed this mod, I humbly ask that you go to the ORIGINAL MOD PAGE and offer an endorsement.

~ Description ~
Flying crows have been added to more than 30 various points of interest throughout the land of Skyrim. Each crow has been hand-placed and will dynamically react to the time of day as well as current weather conditions, disappearing during inclement weather and reappearing when clear, cloudy, or foggy.
During your travels you will encounter murders of various sizes, some are sparse while others are far more impressive in scale. What's more is you'll never be quite sure when to expect them so each time your feet meet a familiar path, keep your eyes on the sky, as what's overhead may not appear the same as your last visit.
~ Requirements ~
powerofthree's Papyrus Extender SSE
Tested on v5. 8. 0. For Flying Crows V2. 0 above.
Only for those who are on older versions of Skyrim (Prior to 1. 6. 1130).
DynDolod 3. 0
Required for Crow LOD, and highly suggested. It's not nearly as scary as it seems.
~ How it Works ~
Each crow model is associated with a specific parent X Marker
Each X Marker is associated with a lightweight script that determines when the crows will appear
The script will call twice per day, per X Marker, as well as when one weather transitions to another, this includes weather changing via fast travel.
~ FAQ ~
Why are the crows so F#&ING LOUD?
Because. But also, check out the in-game sound/audio settings. A volume slider was added in v 1. 2 to adjust to your preference.
Why do I have to adjust the sound settings each time I start a new game?
I've heard this complaint previously but haven't been able to replicate it. All my audio settings seem to persist when reloading the game, would be interested in feedback if multiple people experience this.
