📋 About This Mod
Pheasants on Skyrim
This mod adds Pheasants to Skyrim using leveled lists. It was annoying seeing how in every part of Skyrim, there were dead pheasants hanging on the kitchens, but no one to see in the wild.Each pheasant has a chance to spawn as one of the different variants offered, using a method similar to Splendor. There is also a unique set of variants, used only on snowy leveled lists. They were added in the leveled list shared by foxes and rabbits, normal and snow version.
Assets were used from the modder resource New Creatures by RoboBirdie.
Pheasants of Skyrim adds live pheasants to Skyrim's leveled lists, making them appear in the wild instead of only as dead kitchen props. A simple wildlife immersion mod with 287 endorsements and 33,224 downloads, last updated in September 2022.
