Hunting in Skyrim - A Hunting Guild

Hunting in Skyrim is a mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim that adds a Hunting Guild to the game, and completely overhauls the entire hunting experience. It features realistic animal skinning (like Red Dead Redemption), animal trapping, fishing, kill & stat tracking, new skills and abilities, new NPCs and locations, new dungeons, new weapons and more.





Description

In its current state Hunting in Skyrim is release-ready but not feature-complete. What that means is everything in the mod is working to a standard of a finished mod, but is still being actively developed. This means things may be changed or tweaked, and new features added as development progresses. It is safe to use the mod as-is.

Hunting in Skyrim overhauls the entire hunting experience in the game with tonnes of new features. A new animal skinning system has been added, visibly removing the skin from the animal in the game (think Red Dead Redemption). Players can also set animal traps with lots of different bait options, with different regions of Skyrim and Solstheim (and Falskaar if you have that mod) offering different animal/bait combinations. There are also hunting challenges to fulfil, new skills and abilities to unlock, new animal variants, new dungeons and much more.

To start the mod features, select your Path of the Woodsman spell and cast it using the shout key.

Be sure to check back for new updates, and always back up your save game before use. Currently no quests are available.
