📋 About This Mod

Replaces the models and textures of dragonflies added by Complete Alcehemy and Cooking Overhaul with ones from Improved Dragonfly. All textures 1K BC7 compression. (4x-CACO 16x-vanilla)

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This mod patches Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul (CACO) to use high-quality meshes from Aviform's Improved Dragonfly for the new dartwing ingredients, replacing the low-poly vanilla models. It's a small compatibility fix for Skyrim Special Edition players who want consistent, high-resolution dragonflies across both vanilla and CACO content. With 338 endorsements and 9,364 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated utility.

✨ Key Features

Patches CACO to use Aviform's Improved Dragonfly meshes for its dartwing ingredients.
Replaces low-poly vanilla dartwings with high-poly, high-res models.
Ensures visual consistency between vanilla and CACO dartwings.
Requires CACO and Improved Dragonfly to function.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 338 endorsements and over 9k downloads.
  • Fixes a real visual inconsistency for CACO users who want better dragonflies.
  • Simple patch that saves you from doing xEdit edits yourself.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires both CACO and Improved Dragonfly, so it's not standalone.
  • Only affects dragonflies—if you don't care about them, it's pointless.
  • Last updated in 2020, so it may not be compatible with newer CACO versions.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE players who use CACO and want their dartwings to look as good as the rest of the game. If you're a completionist who hates mismatched models, this is for you. Skip it if you don't use CACO or don't care about insect visuals.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have both CACO and Improved Dragonfly installed before adding this patch.
  • Load this patch after CACO and Improved Dragonfly in your mod order to ensure it overrides correctly.
  • If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
