please do not comment on any of the above issues as they have been resolved
thanks for your support and i hope you enjoy my mod


-----PRIDES OF SKYRIM v1.2-----

This mod adds some variation to Skyrim's wildlife: Three new creatures, Lions, Lionesses and Panthers, with new textures. Prides of Lions inhabit Skyrim's Whiterun Hold, Reach, and Eastmarch. They live in their dens and lairs complete with bones, blood, and dead stuff. Panthers are rare and solitary animals and inhabit the swamps of Hjaalmarch. Their lairs are often used to hide in and decorate them with prey that they store in the trees.

There are 73 Lions, 220 Lionesses and 17 of the rare Panthers, all custom-placed with patrols and idle markers.

Lions, Lionesses and Panthers are all assigned the ENC (encounter) value, which means that you can encounter them at any time, regardless of your level. Lions are level 50, Lionesses are level 40 and Panthers are level 45, so they are very powerful for anyone under level 40, and they are almost never alone. It's best you sneak around them!

Skyrim's Lions use classic hunting techniques to hunt and take down prey. They will strike quick and fast, and then circle and repeat. This makes it very hard for you to focus your fire on just one. It also means they occasionally smack into each other...

Skyrim’s Panthers are one of Skyrim’s rarest big cats. They are ambush predators and hide in the bushes around their lairs waiting for something unfortunate to walk by. Even though panthers are solitary they are still a force to be reckoned with, they are faster then a lion and are know not to tire easily.

Good luck navigating the outdoors, and I hope you enjoy this mod!

*New Lion and Lioness models from the team that brought you the Sabre Gear Backpacks and Sabre Cat Gear Mod Pack:
Targaryen - (for the Mane of the lion)
tumbajamba - (for the Tail)
TreasureChest - (for the Teeth)
DVAted - (for the effort of making the new model possible)

*john129pats – for supplying the lion sounds

*Bean Bag – for implementing the lion sounds into the mod

HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS MOD!
If I get enough subscriptions, I will be adding more prides, including Snow Lions for northern Skyrim. Or possibly a Horker mod with large numbers of Horkers and Horker species, like you see with Walruses.

Thanks - Frank the Fish

lol thanks Frank, great mod, its fun watching them tear apart all travelers sometimes, but sometimes they kill very important people :steamhappy: Its the road west of whiterun that the Lions chill next to the road on. lol

thankyou blake, i am pretty sure there is a "less prides" version on SkyrimNexus. i am not sure if it removes the pride you mentioned but you could give it a go... otherwise you might just have to kill them all ;) happy hunting dragonborn

Having alot of fun with this, thanks. Only complaint is one pack is next to a road! So naturally they rip apart any and all travlers on the road! they have no chance! I'd prefer them only in the wilds, not near roads! Other than that, excellent mod :markarth:
