📋 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)
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
📊 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.
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.
💡 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.
