📋 About This Mod
The original mod is required, overwrite or replace the meshes with the ones from this mod.
The polycount for this version is:
- Chicken ~ 2400 triangles (~ 10% of the original)
- Chick ~ 800 triangles (~ 4% of the original)
For further optimization download also the Chickens and Chicks - My optimized textures SE by XTUDO
Added optional optimized meshes for Chicks - Mihail Animal Fluffy by 6Four9
- this version contains ~10. 000 tris (40% of the original fluffy version)
My goal is to reduce the polycount of these meshes as much as possible while still retaining their original shape.
The optimized models will give you increased performance with minimal impact on visual quality.
I do this for the people that want to increase their fps, run their PC cooler, play SKYRIM VR
or simply do not have a PC powerful enough to run the original version of the mods.
