📋 About This Mod
Expands on Birbwalker's amazing "Raptors mod" adding 4 new dinosaurs: 2 types Dilophosaurus (venomous and nonvenomous) Concavenator and Cryolophosaurus.
you can find them in the wilderness:
- Venomous Dilophosaurus: you can find them in Riften, Morthal and Whiterun, inspired by the ones in Jurassic Park, venomous and quite cowardly, attack in packs of 4.
- Mountain Dilophosaurus: you can find them in Mrkarth, more accurate to the real animal, bigger, and attack in pairs.
- Cryolophosaurus: you can find them in any snowy region, attack in pairs
- Concavenator: you can find them close to any large body of water. Lone predators.
Special thanks to Birbwaker21 for the original mod and for helping me with the CK implementation.
This is my first mod that includes spawns so I'm sure it's janky, I tried my best. If anybody wants to expand or improve it, you are free to do so, just credit me and birbwalker.
I hope papa Birb approves of this mod.
Medium-Sized Therapods expands BirbWalker21's Raptors mod with 4 new dinosaurs: 2 Dilophosaurus variants (venomous and mountain), Concavenator, and Cryolophosaurus. A creature expansion for players who want more mid-sized theropods in their game. With 142 endorsements and 5,244 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated addition.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 142 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads.
- Adds variety with two Dilophosaurus variants, giving players options for different playstyles.
- Builds on a well-received mod (Raptors mod), so it likely fits the same quality bar.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Raptors mod, so you need to install that first.
- Only adds 4 creatures, so it's a modest expansion rather than a huge content drop.
- Last updated in October 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches.
For players who already use the Raptors mod and want more mid-sized theropods to encounter or tame. If you're looking for a massive creature pack, this isn't it—it's a focused expansion. Skip if you don't have the base Raptors mod or prefer larger dinosaurs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Raptors mod installed first, as this expansion depends on it.
- Check the mod's page for any load order instructions to ensure the new dinosaurs spawn correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
