--File Descriptions--

-Main Files-

Replace Spiders: You will not see anything frostbite spider related. Replaces the Frostbite Spider and it's variants with bears called 'Invading Bear'(replaces meshes with that of a fox) also replaces all 'unique' frostbite spiders(the wounded one, Nimhe, and the Dark Brotherhood Spider). Deletes all webs(except the breakable ones, see optional files) and static spider egg sacs from the game (replacing textures with various items). Replaces Harvestable egg sacs with jars of 'Invading Bears Honey'(replaces textures with barrel). Replaces spider eggs with invading bears bees(replacing texture with apple). Replaces the frostbite spider loading screen with that of a bear(and the texture file), the loading screen text describes how frostbite spiders went extinct.

Replace Chaurus: You will not see anything Skeever related. Replaces the Chaurus and it's variants with skeevers called 'Invading Skeever'(replaces meshes with that of a fox). Deletes Chaurus wallpods and other static Chaurus objects(and the textures with Misc items). Replaces Chaurus egg sacs with 'invading skeever wheat' stalks(and the textures with barrels) and replaces Chaurus eggs with 'Invading Skeevers Wheat(and replaces textures with apples). Renames Chaurus Chitin to fit with lore that the Chaurus have gone extinct. Replaces Chaurus Loading Screen with that of a skeever(and the texture file), text describes how the Chaurus went extinct.

Replace Spiders and Chaurus: Both of the above files combined






-Dawnguard-


Chaurus Replacer: Replaces the new Chaurus variants added by Dawnguard with 'Invading Skeevers'(replaces meshes with that of a fox). Replaces the Chaurus Hunter loading screen with a skeever one(and the loading screen mesh file). Replaces the new Chaurus Hunter Alchemy Ingredient

Spider Replacer: Dawnguard adds a single stupid 'Wounded Frostbite Spider' that is apparently used for a quest. This file replaces it with an invading bear. Woot.

Replacer Spider and Chaurus: Replaces both the Spider and the new Chaurus.


-Dragonborn-

Spider Replacer: Replaces the ridiculous amount of new Spider Variants added by the Dragonborn(and their meshes with that of a fox). 'Jumping' Spiders replaced with 'Invading Wolves'. 'Cloaking' Spiders replaced with 'Invading Cave Bears'. All other spiders replaced with 'Invading Mudcrabs'. Deletes some random spider objects. Deletes 'spider imbuing machine', deletes Spider Mage thing. This file will replace everything perfectly, but message me/comment if you see any strange anomilies or AI problems.

Ashopper Replacer: Dragonborn adds these insectoidcreatures called Ashoppers. They look a bit like the Chaurus and this file replaces them with 'Foreign Wolves'(and their meshes with that of a fox). Also renames their dropped items to fit with the lore that these creatures are now extinct.

AShopper and SPider Replacer: Replaces both the new Spiders and Ashoppers

-Hearthfire-

Spider and Chaurus trophy Replacer: Replaces the Frostbite Spider and Chaurus trophys in the trophy room wing with Invading Bear and Invading skeever trophys. Also includes mesh replacers for the trophys.

-Others-

Breakable-web texture replacer: For reasons related to quest and AI Breakage, I cannot delete the webs that block doorways(the ones you can destroy with fire or melee). Installing this will simply make them invisible instead, you will run into an 'invisible wall' at these points and should simply break through the invisible web with fire or melee. If you choose not to use this those webs will still be there, assume they are freakishly large cobwebs or something.




-On the floating-fox failsafe-


For every enemy this mod replaces it also replaces that enemies texture and skeleton file with that of a fox. This is for two reasons: First, if the mod fails at any point(though it never will if installed right), you will see a floating un-animated fox mesh that behaves like the creature it replaced, instead of the actual creature. Second, This provides partial replacments to any mod that adds new Spiders/Chaurus that use the original textures provided by bethesda(by having it be a floating fox instead).For the same reason, this is also done on the loading screens and various static objects/items/harvestables that are replaced.. Because of this, this mod should always be installed LAST to ensure it's textures stay on top. This WILL NOT work for any mod that adds spiders/Chaurus with new textures, which fortunatley is a very small list.
