You can now find large herds of Reindeer grazing on the icy tundra and coasts, in addition to migratory groups, mirroring the behavior of these animals in the real world.




- It is now possible to find Reindeer herds of around 30 to 40 individuals each, 3 herds in total, grazing in the north of the province, both in the frozen tundra and close to the coast. Each herd is considerably distant from the other. Except on very dated PCs, the number of individuals will not affect the game's performance;
- The initial plan was for all of these herds to make large migrations, but there is a limit to how Skyrim's AI works with a large number of actors, so I limited myself to creating a fourth herd, of just 11 individuals, which then migrates between pastures, including joining sedentary herds for some time between migrations;
- All Reindeer in the game, both vanilla solitary ones and the new herd ones, have now
been renamed as what they actually are: "Reindeer". No longer just "Deer";

- While the original Reindeer continue to flee at the slightest sign of danger, to avoid confusion due to the large number of individuals these herd Reindeer have a more confident behavior: most will only get scared if you get really close, and will only run away for a short period, and if the group is attacked, slightly larger and dominant Reindeers will face the danger, being respectable adversaries. It is a technical necessity but this difference in behavior is easily justified taking into account the fact that they live in the security of a herd;
- A small mountainous area completely devoid of vegetation, being made up only of snow, received a small population of pine trees and bushes, creating a mini icy tundra, equal to the nearby forest areas, to coherently shelter one of the herds. Any tree and shrub replacer works there;
- It is possible to find a small carriage collapsed in the previously mentioned place, with an open chest and the body of a merchant using a red cap. The chest contains a sweetroll and a toy, as well as some money, and the scene is a small easter egg about Santa Claus.



So far no incompatibilities have been found between this mod and other mods.
(OBS- If by chance when installing several of Mihail's mods at the same time you are asked about files overwriting those of other Mihail mods or other authors mods, don't worry because they are just the same files shared between mods. I recommend that on these occasions always give preference to the files contained in my mods, and among mine always give preference to the mod you are installing last.)



The Mihail Monsters and Animals series aims to create and make available to the community the most complete set of creatures for TES 5: Skyrim, implemented in an immersive and unique way, with respect to the pillars of lore. Instead of pathetically just throwing models and textures in the game reusing 100% vanilla mechanics, the creatures made by Mihail have uniqueness and extreme zeal in their idealization and implementation, which will provide you with an experience that you have never had before in this area.
