About this mod

Tweaks some unnecessary parts of some of Mihail's lore-friendly Creature Mods to more manageable, lore-friendly, and sensible levels.

NOTE: Only the tweaked .ESPs are included in this modpack. You will still need the files from the original mods by Mihail for these .ESPs to work right. Reason for me doing this is I don't want to take away any downloads from Mihail's portfolio. The mods are linked below at the bottom of the description.

IT IS REQUIRED THAT YOU DOWNLOAD THE APPROPRIATE MOD FOR WHICHEVER .ESP(S) YOU ARE USING FROM THIS MODPACK! OVERWRITE HIS .ESP WITH ONE FROM THIS MODPACK AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. USE WRYE BASH'S BASHED PATCH FUNCTIONALITY TO MAXIMIZE COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER MODS.


So, I love the mods that add creatures that exist in TES Lore to a TES game that lacks said creature. I mean, look at Scamps. Present in almost every single modern TES game aside from Skyrim. Banekin? Only present in ESO. Daedroths? Don't get me started.

So, when I found MihailMods, it was like a wetdream to me. I love the lore of TES. I love seeing it all come together. I'm just a loremonger in general. However, when I played some of Mihail's mods, I was disappointed by how some of it was built. For instance, enemies and creatures were in fixed locations instead of just added to the creature spawn pool so they can appear randomly, some creatures had unnecessary health buffs (Ruinachs were literally in the thousands.) and some creatures were just common for no reason, like the Indriks. So, after reading the permissions set by Mihail and confirming that we are allowed to tweak his mods as we see fit and even release them as long as we have credited him - and I will do that below - I took his lore-friendly mods and tweaked them to more manageable, lore-friendly, and sensible levels. The list of tweaks are below:


Tweaks:
  • All creatures included in the .ESPs now spawn randomly instead of in fixed locations. They will spawn only at certain levels so you don't get ganked by, say, two Minotaurs at level 10 when setting up a trade route to Falkreath (I speak from experience there). They will spawn in make-sense ways, like Daedroths and Flesh Atronachs will spawn with Warlocks and Conjurers, Nixads will spawn in the wilderness, Nix-Hounds will only spawn on Solsthiem, etc etc.
  •  "Daedroth Titans" have been renamed to "Daedroth". They will hence before referred to as "Daedroths".
  • Ruinachs had their ridiculous health buff removed and were even debuffed to more manageable levels.
  • Ogrims health buff removed.
  • Daedroths have had their "Protected" status removed, so now they can be killed by other NPCs.
  • Daedroths health buff has been removed.
  • Flesh Atronachs health buff have been removed.
  • Unnecessary creature variants have been removed.
  • Banekin were removed from Drelas' Cottage, so now you can use Interesting NPCs.
  • Cyrodilic Minotaurs had their health buff removed.
  • Bone Colossus had their health debuffed from their ridiculous 1200 range to a 300-400 range.
  • Nixads can spawn almost anywhere now. More of a limitation to the engine than personal preference. The Solsthiem, Hjaalmarch, and Reach variants still only spawn in their respective regions though.
  • Hungers now spawn naturally in Conjurer dungeons randomly.
  • Hunger health tweaked to more manageable levels.
  • Watchers now spawn alongside Conjurers.
  • Will-O-The-Wisps spawn rarely in forests.
  • Havocrels spawn in Conjurer dungeons starting at level 20.
  • Probably more things I am forgetting. But if I'm forgetting them, then they are minor tweaks.
