📋 About This Mod
MISCELLANEOUS TWEAKS COLLECTION
This is a small collection of tweaks that I use personally but consider too small for separate plugins. As usual, the mod is primarily intended for users of my guide, The Phoenix Flavour. Some of them already exist in some shape or form, but were missing something or included features I didn't want so I edited or recreated them.
BETTER HORSES
DESCRIPTION
-
[] Horses are slightly faster, more maneuverable, and have more Stamina.
[
] Frost and all five buyable horses are set to Protected and can only be killed by the player.[] Shadowmere is not set to Protected as (s)he will respawn after dying.
[] Set the Confidence to 0 (Cowardly) for all generic, unnamed horses.
[] Frost remains at Confidence 1 (Cautious) and will attack targets weaker than him.
[] Shadowmere remains at Confidence 3 (Brave) and will attack unless severely outmatched.
- Also covers the buyable horses added by the Hearthfire DLC.
COMPLEMENTARY MODS
I highly recommend using Irondusk's Saddlebags alongside these tweaks. It adds a Horse Call power and allows you to store items on your horse by interacting with it when crouched. You can also remove Saddlebag's Horse Call power in xEdit and use Nether's Follower Framework to define a Horse Call hotkey in the MCM.
CHANGELOG
1. 0 Initial release.
1. 1 Resaved to fix some errant form version 40 / 43 headers.
1. 2 Buyable horses are now Protected instead of Essential. Added the three Hearthfire horses.
1. 3 Slightly increased overall speed and mobility of all horses. Doubled their base Stamina (100 > 200).
NO STARTING SPELLS
DESCRIPTION
- The Healing and Flames spells were removed from the player character. This can only be done through a plugin.
- Edited one vanilla script so that race-specific spells will not be added to the player in the first place (thanks, Umgak!).
COMPATIBILITY
The FOMOD installer includes a AI Overhaul SSE compatible plugin. Place the plugin below AI Overhaul.esp in the load order.
CHANGELOG
1. 1 Replaced BAT file with edited vanilla script to prevent race-specific spells from being added.
1. 0 Initial release.
