📋 About This Mod
Skyrim's Paraglider is one of if not the best flight mod on the Nexus. If you're here, I don't need to explain why. However, whether it be a lack of interest in the quest, the glory of paragliding straight out of Helgen, becoming too emotional/traumatized over Fred's lifeless body, or simply avoiding any unexpected issues of adding it to your new favorite mod list; Like myself, you may yearn for a lean alternative. In comes
Skyrim's Paraglider - ZERO
ZERO Effort. ZERO Death. ZERO Conflict.

While Paraglider - LITE exists for this reason, it does leave unused records behind and unfortunately, at least one is CTD inducing. This motivated me to go even further, cutting all of the fat from the original including all unused/useless records and script entries to maximize mod list compatibility for those who need it.
Additionally, we often have surprisingly weak ankles on gentle landings despite having our paraglider in hand. A bringer of shame in Sovngarde for sure. If you know, you know. Though not anymore! The player will now immersively survive as expected.
and now introducing:
Skyrim's Paraglider - ZERO+
Original Quest. Fresh take. Same great ZERO taste.
In celebration of achieving no deaths, no loss of FX, and no player re-equip after beast transform, I've created ZERO+ so that those who enjoy the quest can enjoy the same benefits. Once again, all unused records have been removed. The quest, journal, and gazebo note have been rewritten without grammar/punctuation errors. They now feature a fresh, immersive take while not taking itself too seriously.
Immersive inventory notifications have been added to all versions as well. It now reads a lore accurate reference to Kynareth based on the player's race. See video for complete showcase.
Tarhiel's Gale FX is now more immersive gust of wind.
Thank you for your support!
