📋 About This Mod
Requires Lepidoptera - More Butterflies and Moths and Butterflies Unchained or USMP!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 371 endorsements and over 72k downloads.
- Fills a specific niche for players who want more realistic insect behavior.
- Lightweight patch that doesn't add bloat—just tweaks existing mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires two other mods to function, so it's useless without them.
- Only affects butterflies and moths—if you're not into insect immersion, skip it.
- Last updated in 2023, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mod setups.
For Skyrim players who already use Lepidoptera - More Butterflies and Moths and want those creatures to behave more naturally with Butterflies Unchained. If you're not running both mods, this patch does nothing for you. Skip if you don't care about insect animations.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both required mods installed and activated before adding this patch.
- Load this patch after the two main mods in your mod manager to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement—manual install is also fine but keep the folder structure intact.
