📋 About This Mod
Requires the The Contest Creation!
Simple addition of Web Mothers to levelled lists wherever Giant Frostbite Spiders can be found. This means you may rarely see them out in the wild or occasionally as companions of Vampires, Hagravens, Draugr, or Falmer.
More specifically, anywhere a Giant Frostbite Spider would spawn in levelled lists, there is a 50% chance of it being a Web Mother instead. They're still relatively uncommon, but it's better than only ever seeing the one.
Alternate versions available for a 25% chance or a 10% chance instead.
Flagged as ESL. Will work regardless of game version, so long as you own The Contest.
Enjoy, and let me know if there's any issues.
This mod adds Web Mothers to leveled lists wherever Giant Frostbite Spiders appear, making them a more common encounter.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 322 endorsements and over 55k downloads.
- Seamless integration—no new areas or quests, just spawn variety.
- Recently updated (June 2024), so it's likely compatible with current setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects spider spawns, so if you're not into fighting spiders, this won't add much.
- May conflict with other mods that alter leveled lists or spider spawns.
- No custom models or textures—Web Mothers use existing assets, so visual variety is limited.
For Skyrim players who want more challenging spider encounters without overhauling the game. If you're a completionist or enjoy creature variety, this is a quick add. Skip if you're looking for new creatures or visual overhauls—this is purely a spawn tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage load order easily.
- If you use other mods that edit leveled lists, place this mod after them to ensure Web Mothers appear.
- Check for compatibility patches if you have mods that overhaul spider spawns or creature encounters.
