About this mod
Immersive tweaks to the amazing Otters mod. Crushed bones are better integrated into vanilla (or CACO), and tweaks their meat and pelt to be more realistic but still valuable. Expands on the otter's possible loot with different fish and slaughterfish eggs.

Otters are a great addition to Skyrim. But their value is a little far departed from regular game balance for the challenge they provide. This mod tries to balance the loot they provide in order to make them feel more integrated into the world, keeping their value on the higher-end with some new caveats.

Extra otter loot reworked
Spicy Otter Stew (CACO)
Given how easy otters are to deal with for the majority of the game I feel even after these changes they're still a prized animal to hunt.
Otter Pelt
Spoiler:
Show
Increased weight from 0.5 to 5lb. Decreased value from 150 to 100. This makes otter pelts more valuable by the pound than bear pelts (16.66 vs 20), but not by such an extreme amount.
Wolf Otter Pelt
Spoiler:
Show
Increased weight from 1 to 12.5lb. Value unchanged. Given their size and how dense otter pelts are, the value makes sense, but the weight definitely doesn't.
Otter meat
Spoiler:
Show
Increased weight from 0.2 to 1lb. Reduced amount from 3 to 1 (8 to 3 for wolf otters). Aligned otter meat's effects with CACO meats, they both now provide stamina regeneration. Cooked otter meat also provides 25% disease resistance for an hour.
Crushed Otter Bone
Spoiler:
Show
- Fixed alchemy efficiency. You could create some obscene potions normally (I was exceeding 100,000 gold value potions using CACO).
- Value reduced from 100 to 10.
- Wolf otters now drop 3 bones instead of 2.
- Cure Disease is removed.
- Fortify Restoration is replaced with a negative effect that attempts to reign in how wild of potion types you can brew from otters.
- CACO version also makes sure the healing is applied over a second.
Crushed Otter Bone effects list

Vanilla effects: Waterbreathing, Cure Poison, Restore Health, Damage Magicka Regen
CACO effects: Resist Disease, Cure Poison, Restore Health, Shock Aversion

Extra otter loot reworked
Spoiler:
Before:
65.7% to get 2 raw clam meat
24.3% total chance to get 2 raw clam meat and 1-5 pearls
10% to get nothing
After:
45% to get 1 raw clam meat (50% to also get a pearl)
22.5% to get a random fish
11.25% to get an extra crushed otter bone
11.25% to get 2-4 slaughterfish eggs
10% to get nothing
In the CACO version, the clam meat is changed back to the vanilla version, because CACO adds cooked clam meat, and the 4 "brackish" fish from CACO are added to the fish loot list.
