About this mod
Greatly increases the chances for zombies, draugr, and other unpleasant creatures to spawn outdoors.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
Unchecked zombie hordes have invaded every hold, and draugr have become increasingly bold, venturing out from their dank tombs to hunt the flesh of the living. Meanwhile, packs of rabid wolves roam out of control, attacking travelers and driving deer and elk to near extinction. Bears and sabrecats are now a scarcer sight, driven into the hills by invasive plagues of skeevers, and the forests of Skyrim have become infested with frostbite spiders.
What it does
Greatly increases the chances for the undead to spawn from the outdoor predator, prey, and ambient life leveled lists, with an increased chance for skeevers, spiders, and wolves to appear as well. Wolves will sometimes spawn as bonewolves (with the included CC patch). Travel around Skyrim will now be much more unpredictable, treacherous, and terrifying.
Animals aren't completely removed from the game. There's still a chance for the normal wildlife of Skyrim to spawn too, especially in remote mountainous regions.
ESL flagged.

Recommendations
All mods below are compatible out of the box.
- (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!) The Unbidden - Adds a lot more variety to the zombies. In fact I think zombies are pretty boring without this, especially if you see them a lot.
- The Restless Dead - Same as above but for draugrs and skeletons.
- 1 Day Respawn Timer (or set your own values with Wrye Bash) - If you want to be constantly under attack everywhere you go, which I recommend.
- DFB Random encounters - Adds even more spawn points for extra chaos, and has MCM options that let you specify spooky creatures in particular.
- Draugr Patrols and Cavalry
- Sickening Skeevers
- Savage Wolves
- Absolute Arachnophobia
- Faster Spiders - Ultimate Arachnophobia
