Fluffy Spiders made the Hot Mods! I'm stoked! Thanks so much to all of you who've downloaded and endorsed the mod!
Update 2nd Jan '24.
Happy New Year! I hope you've all had a great start to 2024! Today, I've added 2k shell textures for the mod. I prefer 4k textures for the shell (as I think you can see the difference), but I understand that's a lot of bigger textures, so I've uploaded a smaller version. Download and install after the main mod. Overwrite when prompted.
Thanks to all of you who've downloaded and endorsed the mod!
Update 30th Dec '23
Another update! A number of you have requested a version compatible with Arachnid Brutality so I've added an optional download that'll work with Cthorthu's mod. Install (and endorse) Arachnid Brutality first and then overwrite with my mod. I'm thinking of producing a BOS mod that'll allow a mix of the spiders from vanilla and the ones from Arachnid Brutality to be used at once. It might be by a percentage chance or maybe by location. Let me know if that's something y'all would be interested in. To be honest, I think the spiders from Arachnid Brutality are bloody terrifying :D and so I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to use that mod!

Thanks to all of you who've downloaded and endorsed the mod so far! I'm stoked that you like these hairy monsters. This is the first mod I've done that's given me the creeps while I was working on it :D!
I've uploaded version 1.2 today, which contains textures with improved alphas (better transparency) created by Mur4s4me. Thanks so much, Mura! Please give them some kudos for their work!
Thanks for this great addition to our spider options, FrankBlack. I have two comments:
1) CC Pets Addon - Spiders Spin Webs: If anyone has some of the CC stuff already, this under rated mod makes spiders actually challenging and unique.
2) Darker!: Please consider making a "Black" (insert namesake pun here!) variant. I don't want all spiders to be black (more variety is good), but having some be black or very dark would be terrifying! Thanks for all the mods you create. Your attention to quality speaks for itself!
Maybe once I've done the other patches I'm working on, I could make a BOS version that adds some black spiders. Feel free to remind me about this, as I have quite a few mod projects on the go at the minute :)
Update So, I've got a working black spider, but the issue is getting it to work in-game. BOS won't swap it as it's counted as an NPC. The shell texturing is an issue, too. Most variant mods just swap out the main texture, but I need to swap out the meshes, too. It might take a bit, but I'll figure it out!
Hi FrankBlack, I hope you're doing well. This seems well suited for Model Swapper. No ESP needed, just a JSON file. I tried the Variant textures Iconic includes, and you can see the color variations in the leg ends, fangs and 'spiky' parts of the spider model. The shell texture makes up most of the body, so its subtle but noticeable. Another timesuck that is Skyrim Modding :) Cheers and thank you for all your great mods!
On another note, unless you are asking about being able to boff spiders, I would suggest that there should be zero issue with SexLab. This is just a mesh and texture replacer. There is not ESP that interacts with any other mod. So, anything that involved spiders before should work the same.

Thanks for posting about the webs mod. I'm going to add that to my playthrough.
I'm working on a Dynamic Animal Variants version of the mod at the moment. I believe that has a black spider, too.
Thanks for checking out the mod! :)
As for DAV, it looks interesting, though I have a pretty large load order so I am not sure if it would be compatible.
Thanks! Looking forward to it and I will try to help you remember!
Is this a good time for a reminder?
Thanks again!

And let's just leave it at that. Here is a NSFW relevant comic.
