📋 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 ~ 2200 tris (~10% of the original)
For further optimization download also the Hanging Dead Pheasants Replacer - Ring-necked Pheasants - My optimized textures SE by XTUDO
Added optional file that makes the pheasants dissapear when harvested - credits to Blackread for the original patch Hanging Dead Pheasants Replacer - 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
- Huge community trust (595 endorsements, 388k downloads) — clearly a go-to for performance
- No ESP means it won't bloat your load order or cause script lag
- Keeps the immersion of Mihail's mod while being kinder to your FPS
⚠️ Cons
- Only works if you already have Mihail's original mod — it's a replacer, not standalone
- Low-poly meshes may look noticeably less detailed up close, which could break immersion for some
- Last updated in 2023 — might not be tested with the latest Skyrim updates, though mesh replacers are usually safe
For Skyrim players who love Mihail's immersion mods but struggle with performance on lower-end rigs. Also great for mod list builders who want to keep their load order clean without ESPs. Skip if you're on a high-end PC and prefer maximum visual fidelity.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install Mihail's original mod first, then overwrite its meshes with this replacer.
- Since there's no ESP, you don't need to worry about load order — just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager, let this replacer overwrite the original meshes to ensure the low-poly versions take effect.
