📋 About This Mod
I don't know what I'm doing so who knows what will happen? There are no errors in xEdit. Game loads up. I'm still working on my load order for this iteration so I haven't done extensive testing. But I love turning an ESP into ESPFE wherever possible so I made some patches for the new SkyTEST ESPFE and other mods I have. They're all ESPFE so won't take a slot in your load order. Obviously (I hope) don't use these with the original SkyTEST - Realistic Animals and Predators SE version.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves load order slots by converting patches to ESPFE—huge for modded setups.
- Covers a solid list of popular animal and wildlife mods, so you can patch multiple things at once.
- Decent community trust with 539 endorsements and 13k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Author admits they haven't done extensive testing, so you might hit unexpected issues.
- Only works with the new SkyTEST ESPFE—if you're on the original, these patches are useless.
- Compatibility risk with other mods that touch the same records; you'll need to check for conflicts yourself.
For Skyrim modders who use SkyTEST Redux and want to free up load order slots by converting patches to ESPFE. If you're running the original SkyTEST or don't care about load order limits, skip this—it's not for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the new SkyTEST ESPFE version installed, not the original, or these patches won't work.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 to install and manage these patches, and check for conflicts with other mods in xEdit.
- Since the author hasn't tested extensively, save your game before adding these patches and be ready to revert if something breaks.
