📋 About This Mod
Introduction
My first large scope werewolf mod Tales of Lycanthropy came out in 2012. The first Moonlight Tales released in 2013! The last rendition Moonlight Tales Special Edition released in 2016. Before we continue I would like to thank everyone who played any iteration of these mods! It means a lot to me, and the team that worked on these projects. Thank you!
Moonlight Tales Mini is a compact werewolf addon created for maximum compatibility (fully compatible with Growl - Werebeasts of Skyrim). Features: Sanies Lupinus werewolf disease, lunar transformations, werewolf model and skin system, werebear skins, moon howling animation, revert form animation and more!
Highly Compatible
Moonlight Tales Mini does not edit any base game assets at all. Not a single one. Therefore, in theory it should be compatible with any werewolf mod that exists. To see if the features play nice with each other, one still has to test the theory in practice. I will list the confirmed fully compatible and tested werewolf mods that work well with Moonlight Tales Mini. Even if you do not see a mod you wish to play with on the list, you are welcome to try if they are compatible and test it yourself. Feedback of such tests are very welcome in the comments section!

Sanies Lupinus Disease
Inspired by the excellent Bloodmoon expansion for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the Sanies Lupinus disease makes it's return! This new disease can be caught from werewolves (a single strike from a werewolf will infect the player), and from wolves (each strike from a wolf has a very small chance to infect the player). If you do not cure the disease in three days time, the disease (once developed) will be equal to gaining beasthood from the Companions. It's meant as a role-playing immersive wilderness alternative to repeating the same Companions quest for the hundredth time. (You can still complete the Companions questline if you wish. You will be a werewolf already, but otherwise it will work correctly.) The disease comes with a lot of surprises, including dark omens in the form of visions you can read, sound effects, and an explosive finish as you become a full fledged werewolf. Only the player may catch this disease, followers and other NPCs may not. Once contracted, if cured, one develops immunity for three days (to avoid getting infected too often). The Sanies Lupinus disease feature can be enabled / disabled with the customization ring.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,577 endorsements and 190k downloads—clearly a go-to for werewolf fans.
- Compact design means less script bloat and better performance compared to heavier overhauls.
- Plays nice with Growl, so you can stack features without breaking your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2023—might be behind on the latest Skyrim patches or modding trends.
- As a mini addon, it lacks the depth of full werewolf overhauls—don't expect a total rework.
- Compatibility is only explicitly confirmed with Growl; other werewolf mods might conflict.
For Skyrim players who want werewolf enhancements without overhauling the whole system—especially if you already use Growl and want extra features. Skip if you're looking for a complete werewolf experience with new quests or perks; this is a lightweight addon.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Growl, load Moonlight Tales Mini after it to ensure compatibility.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files manually.
- Check the lunar transformation settings in the MCM (if available) to customize how often you transform.
