Not gonna use this anymore, no longer is compatible with Tame the Beasts of Skyrim II. All tames besides the hyper aggressive species no longer fight beside me and instead flee in the opposite direction regardless of health pool. Used to like the behaviors and challenge, plus the little critters.

It's a shame for me to say this, because I can tell you put a lot into the animal behaviors, and I kind of like how an animal with low health will run; that part is good and realistic. Where you went wrong is when you decided to alter the animal stats and then began taking drugs and violently touching yourself. As other posters have said, the animals didn't need to be "harder". A skeever being way tougher than a bandit is silly. A mudcrab being way tougher than that is absurd. It completely breaks immersion and makes it blatantly obvious I'm playing a poorly executed mod on a game. Then I have to leave the game to delete the trash. Less is more my friend, less is more.

makes almost every heavy animal kil u in one hit......makes jumping mudcrabs kill you in one hit with heavy armor and a *flesh spell. ya. real immersive, 1/10

Cool mod, but wolves won't attack, just stand there. Kinda ruins the whole point.

Awesome!

@FireRedLion101 i've got baby animals running around too and i don't have any other animal mods, so i'd say yes

Canadian Chuck Norris Sep 3, 2017 @ 2:58pm

Dobraine Sep 1, 2017 @ 1:00pm 
My wolves now just stand in one spot and don't attack :\ great for levelling up destrucion, i guess...not very immersive though

You called a Horker a Polar Bear XDD

I am having trouble with the textures, most of the basic animals such as wolves, sabrecats, spiders are just errors. I love the idea of the mod however, I have unsubcribed and subscribed again but nothing was fixed. If theres anything I could do to fix it can you help?
EtaYorius  [author] Nov 22, 2016 @ 7:51am 
I could just upload it as a new file, but i would loose all the subscribers base and Rates... i´ll ask around if there is a fix for this workshop issue.
Ismael Weißschnautze Nov 22, 2016 @ 12:39am 
Do not stress yourself, im sure its not a big deal for the most players to wait some more days. :) Thank you anyway, for getting it (theoretically) fixed so fast.
EtaYorius  [author] Nov 21, 2016 @ 8:02pm 
I'm trying to update the mod, but the Damn Workshop is uploading a new entry in my workshop files...
Ismael Weißschnautze Nov 19, 2016 @ 7:36am 
Excuse me, i am playing the Game in German. I think its called "The mind of Madness"? At least in German thats the Name. Its the Dedra-Quest at the blue palace. (These one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24epC6QSwRI hey shows the part wich contains a problem in minute 15. In a modded Version the Wolf just run away and hide. )
EtaYorius  [author] Nov 18, 2016 @ 4:49pm 
Which quest is this you speak of?
Ismael Weißschnautze Nov 18, 2016 @ 4:35pm 
The most time I really liked the mod. But know i stumpled about a problem. I can t get through the Pelaguis/Wabberjack Mod...because the Wolf is afraid. Hes afraid for good resons, but the Quest wont work this way.

I'm finding my game very lifeless have some mod to improve it
Will404 Oct 13, 2016 @ 1:06pm 
ok, I've tried to spawn them using cheat codes and I can't spawn them either. I think it might be one of my wildlife mods conflictinng with it :/
EtaYorius  [author] Oct 13, 2016 @ 8:36am 
Sorry, i just don't check often to answer all comments. Regarding rhinos the mod is aimed at Lore specific animals. it's a great idea, although Rhinos may have been present in ice age there is no refference about them anywhere in the lore.
Divinus Maximus Oct 13, 2016 @ 3:19am 
I'm sorry, but can I get any answer? Have I done sth wrong?
Will404 Oct 12, 2016 @ 3:37pm 
:/ well I spend most of the 100 hours wandering around in forests and the wild lands, and I have yet to see anything. Mabey the spawn rate go messed up for me or is just way too low?
EtaYorius  [author] Oct 12, 2016 @ 3:11pm 
I don't know what to tell you, i just saw a SabreCatCub with his mother just yesterday near the shore in Winterhold... but they're definitely there.
Will404 Oct 12, 2016 @ 2:18pm 
I know you said baby bears and stuff were rare, but I've gotten over 100 hours with this mod and still no baby bears + sabercats. I think mine might acutally not be working?
Divinus Maximus Oct 12, 2016 @ 2:45am 
Can you add some rhinos in this mod? Since they were real animals existed in ice age, it may good enough for this mod to become more realistic or prolific. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51550/? This may can be a source for rhinos, but all of things are as u want.
EtaYorius  [author] Sep 27, 2016 @ 11:12pm 
It should not, it only follows you for around 2 hours inside main cities. You may be fast traveling, that causes the puppy to bug out due to engine and appear in places where he should not, another one of those engine bugs which i cannot do anything about.
Will404 Sep 27, 2016 @ 1:11pm 
It's cool, none of them work for me anyway :/
EtaYorius  [author] Sep 26, 2016 @ 3:09pm 
I know not of any mod like that. sorry.
Will404 Sep 26, 2016 @ 2:29pm 
Could you give me a link to a lantern mod? thanks
EtaYorius  [author] Sep 22, 2016 @ 1:45pm 
Ohh haha, o set them to look for Food if they can't find a close by prey, but i could not find a way to tell which items are ok for each specie, i can only tell them to Search for whatever is tagged as "Food". So if a wolf is trying to find for food he will pick anything under that category, he may even try to get a WineBottle since it ls algo tagged as "Food". I tried to gave predators and herbivores their own kind of food, but for whatever reason the AI Package stops working, so i just left it as default, Saddly.
Zera zara Sep 22, 2016 @ 12:57pm 
Not sure what's more hilarious. A Saber cat with potatoes who's prey was a random sack or a wolf with hunningbrew mead. Not sure if it's part of the mod or just a random glitch for me but I can't wait to see what other funny prey options my animals choose. :steamhappy:
EtaYorius  [author] Sep 19, 2016 @ 8:23pm 
Skyrim is not Earth, and most Skyrim animals are deadlier than Earth counterparts for the simple reason that there are MONSTER trying to eat them at any time.

Skyrim is not supposed to be a 100% accurate vision of Earth, just check what Tamriel LORE says about Most Animals, it is very Clear that Skyrim Wolves in Packs will attack anything Be Animal or Man.

Your Land wolves may not attack you, but Skyrim Versions would most certainly rip you to pieces for no apparent reason. But in any case, this mod makes the wolves not attack you on Sight, lone wolves may run while Packs will most likely try to take you down. Also animals on this mod do not fight to the death, when they have been damaged enough they will flee.

Somewhat more desirable. Didn't try it yet though because I'm not sure how realistic it is. Wolves never attack humans on sight or when they are visibly present. Wolves were also domesticated for thousands of years across Europe until the Roman Empire introduced Dogs to Europe, and even then Europeans deemed dogs mysterious wild beasts that could not be trusted like their tan masters. The first time dogs were used by all Europeans was after the Byzantine Empire fell around 600 AD... when wolves were first abadoned as man's best friend as a whole. It also led to the first wolf attacks in human history... wolves are found here at the USA all the time, and my family owned pet wolves. We've never encountered a wild wolf pack that ever attacked humans either... so if wolves attack humans in this mod... it would be unrealistic... much like with foxes, rats, raccoons, and rabbits, which would respond the same.

A+ mod
Candice Sep 1, 2016 @ 5:59pm 
This mod is amazing needs more thumbs up!
EtaYorius  [author] Aug 11, 2016 @ 4:40pm 
Yeah i tried to fix it, but i can't do anything about it... it's engine related.
marshmallow_1993 Aug 7, 2016 @ 7:04pm 
is there a link for the monster mod
EtaYorius  [author] Aug 4, 2016 @ 8:56am 
Get a Bow or get an archer follower.
Captain Fabulous [P.W.D] Aug 4, 2016 @ 12:48am 
the wolfs keep running away from me and my followers chase after them till they die. its hard to travel across skyrim when your hores goes after somthing faster than it.
Gol Zin Viing Aug 4, 2016 @ 12:01am 
Love seeing those mini Skeevers in some cities they make the Ratway in Riften more realistic....Now I know how my Cat feels when she see's a mouse....it's like "HUNT NOW!"
Bronzei Aug 3, 2016 @ 10:37am 
where can I download the Wearable Lantern sir?
Sleeping Willow Aug 2, 2016 @ 10:14am 
Alright
thanks
EtaYorius  [author] Aug 2, 2016 @ 10:12am 
It is most likely NOT Compatible with Wildlife Overhaul, that is if that mod also edits animal races. In regards to both mods, i think the other mod just adds few non lore friendly animals, while SkyTEST makes them react just a little bit more like real animals.
Sleeping Willow Aug 2, 2016 @ 9:39am 
Cool mod
Is this compatiable with Skyrim Wildlife Overhaul?
Will404 Aug 2, 2016 @ 5:54am 
ah ok thanks
EtaYorius  [author] Aug 1, 2016 @ 6:42pm 
There are cubs of all species, but i keept them very very hard to spot.
Will404 Aug 1, 2016 @ 7:45am 
one little thing, I've seen chicks, baby goats, all the cow textures, puppies, rats, spiders, hoarker young and baby mamothes but no cubs. No baby bears or sabercats, and I tried spawning them but I cant seem to find the creatures IDs. Just those. Everything else works perfectly. What's up with that?
