📋 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 ~ 2400 triangles (~ 10% of the original)
For further optimization download also Hanging Dead Chickens - My optimized textures SE by XTUDO
Added optional file that makes the chickens disappear when harvested - credits to Blackread for the original patch Hanging Dead Chickens - Harvesting Patch
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.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Performance-friendly: low-poly meshes reduce GPU load, great for heavy mod lists
- No ESP means no plugin slot used and easier to install/remove
- Solid track record: 341 endorsements and 237k downloads show it's trusted
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Hanging Dead Chickens mod by MihailMods as a base, so you need both mods installed
- Visual quality is reduced compared to the original high-poly meshes, which may be noticeable up close
- Last updated in 2023, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim updates, though mesh replacers are usually stable
For Skyrim players who love Mihail's immersion mods but struggle with performance, especially those with large mod lists. Also great for players on lower-end PCs who want the atmosphere without the frame drop. Skip if you're a graphics purist who wants maximum detail.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you install the original Hanging Dead Chickens mod first, then overwrite its meshes with this mod's files.
- Since this mod has no ESP, load order doesn't matter, but if you use a mod manager, let this mod overwrite the original's meshes.
- If you're on Skyrim AE, this mod should work fine as it's just a mesh replacer, but always check for updates after game patches.
