About this mod

A simple mod to remove spiders/chaurus from loading screens. A personal patch inspired and built from the excellent Arachnophobia mod. ESL flagged.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Skyrim should be scary, but not like that. This ONLY removes spiders, chaurus, and dwarven spiders from vanilla loading screens. I changed some of the loading text to not even mention spiders or chaurus and replaced the models with bears, armor, and wolves. 

I use Arachnophobia - Spiders are Wolves - Chaurus are Bears but found that some loading screens still had insects/arachnids on them. I made this mod for my own use but decided to share it as Arachnophobia's permissions are open. It covers a few more loading screens that were missed. 

Other mods may add their own critters to their loading screens, so this patch does not cover those. 

Optional Files
Less Scary Loading Screens - Falskaar: A small patch for three loading screens to remove spider, chaurus, and dwarven spider models. No text was altered. 

Less Scary Loading Screens - Inigo: A small patch for two loading screens to remove spider & chaurus models. No text was altered. 

Compatibility

This should work with mods like Insects Begone, Actor Away, and Bug Repellent. Insects Begone and Actor Away block loading screens by a different method, so that might work for you instead of this one. 

These are ESL flagged ESPs so they won't take an ESP slot. Put this after any mod that alters vanilla loading screens. 

Arachnophobia - Spiders are Wolves - Chaurus are Bears is not required to use this mod, but it makes sense to use an insect replacer/remover if you have a phobia.

Falskaar/Inigo is required for the optional files, if you use them.

Additional information

You can disable loading screens from certain mods completely by using SSE Display Tweaks LoadScreenBlock feature. Or use a loading screen replacer. 

This is my first mod, please be kind if you run into any issues!
