Rat's In Skyrim?

[Kuroodo]

I've never heard of or seen rats in skyrim, only Skeevers.

I even looked it up and there's no records of rats unless you added a mod that adds rats.

I have mods, but none include rats. I go to helgen and find this

Anyone else found a rat like such?

Could be a secret feature in one of the mods I have...

NOPE NEVER SEEN A RAT IN SKYRIM

[Dux]

It was most definitely added by one of the mods you're using. No rats (other than Skeevers) in Skyrim as far as I know.

[StealthMomo]

Like other have said, it could be a from a mod. Maybe the author forgot to remove it or just didn't care.

[Kuroodo]

Yeah I can agree. Was also leaning torwards an easter egg kind of thing. But if no one else found it, then yeah must be from the mods.

A cool and interesting find though!

Found a second rat at Helgen

That's the problem in modding sometimes. There might be things included that was not described by the author, you know sometimes they forgot to remove things, the ones they use to test the mod. Sometimes you really have to check each mods one by one, narrow them down then Google. Redundant maybe but no other option.

I have also seen rats.

Are you running Immersive Creatures, by any chance? Because I am running Immersive Creatures, and I'm leaning toward that being the culprit.

I'm using SkyTEST - Realistic Animals and Predators. Is that the same mod?

No, but wouldn't you call Rats "realistic" animals?

I can just about guarantee that's your culprit.

Yeah, but the point of the mod is to give the current animals in Skyrim realistic behaviors/AI.

I checked the mod's description, and even did a ctrl+F for the word rat and nothing came up

Well by their very nature, mods have a habit of doing things you might not expect/want them to do.

That's why I don't run any of the unofficial patches, either.

skyTEST isnt immersive creatures, but theres a good chance that skyTEST has added the rat in yes. Its primary focus is to add in more realistic ai and behavior, but it also says in the descriptions that it adds in new animals, like baby mammoths, tiny tiny bugs etc etc, so the rat probably came from that.

Everything that the unoffical patches changes is VERY well documented and any major bugs in them get fixed almost immediately once found so its pretty damn safe to run them.
