📋 About This Mod
I was minding my business yesterday when I suddenly received this beautiful piece of art:
I was moved by such an amazing bribe talent and decided to help. But of course, not before punishing the talentest artist, Ratchetkiin, with a bunch of patching duties. Most people would've ran away the moment I requested them to help with the patch, but not Ratchetkiin. They persevered and spent a few hours changing references and helping me make the mods compatible.
Alas, we now proudly present to you...
-Trading and NPC reactions for Hunterborn-
This is basically a cutdown version of Simple Hunting Overhaul that only has the NPC reactions and the selling of carcasses via dialogue, leaving everything else to Hunterborn. So basically this addon for Hunterborn comes with these two features:
1) The Hunter's Trade:
- You can sell most carcasses for fur and meat to hunters, butchers, innkeepers and those working with fur (blacksmiths for example).
- This is done via a dialogue option that shows up and can be selected as long as you are carrying a carcass.
- Prices will vary depending on the utility of the carcass for the given person.
- This is all completely voiced and has easter eggs and funny reactions depending on the carcass, the shopkeeper and more.
2) NPC Reactions:
- When carrying carcasses, some NPCs might react around you, with sentences like "Good hunting!", "Good catch!", or "Hello fellow hunter!", etc.
- Carrying carcasses in front of guards might have them question you about poaching. Being a Thane or having bought a Hunter's Permit allows you to stay clear of the guards' questioning. Permits can be bought during this interaction.
Mod Requirements:
- HUNTEBORN
This mod does NOT require the original Simple Hunting Overhaul, this is a standalone mod and is NOT compatible with the original SHO.
Extra mods you should consider installing:
- Carry Your Carcasses (Hunterborn version): Without this mod, my mod custom reactions won't make much sense, as they are counting that you have a visible carcass on your person. So even though it's not a requirement per se, you should 100% install it and apply it via IED for the ultimate experience.
- Carry Your Carcasses With Animations (Hunterborn Version): Carry Your Carcasses makes a whole lot more sense with this one. Get both!!!
- Hunterborn Animations: See your character perform the animations from Hunterborn.
- Immersive Death Cycle: See animals decompose and eventually turn into bones.
- Skills of the Wild: if you use Campfire, you should give SOTW a look. I've relaunched it for versio
This mod brings Simple Hunting Overhaul's dialogue and trading system to Hunterborn, making the two compatible. It's for Skyrim players who prefer Hunterborn's hunting mechanics but want the improved NPC interactions from Simple Hunting Overhaul. With 531 endorsements and recent updates, it's a niche compatibility patch with a dedicated following.
