LE Hunting animal behavior mod

[Kregen]

there are several behavior mistakes in skyrim most based on popular myth and not the facts. All wolves are rabid killers, just not true. Although they willl mercilesly hunt prey animals they are more likly to avoid humans. Alldear run away another myth although most will, when at bay they are very dangerouse to the foolhardy.infact most preditores will avoid humans and human habitation unless trained to do so by feeding intentionaly or by accident. The main exceptions are brown bears, polar bears and big cats they do activly hunt humans on occation especialy the cats. I would like to see these issues adressed, but wait this is only the first part of the mod.

 

The second part would be hunting over haul, beter stalking allowing the hunter to take avantage of wind drection by means of a wind direction indicator that gives sneak bonuses for being down wind. Also if the animal is not directly looking at you and you are down wind a further sneak bonus will be added, then finnaly when in good cover a finnal bost to make you vertualy undetectable if you take advantage of allthese factors. With maybe a level related chance to step on a dry stick or in some other way startle your prey to keep it interesting. Then lastly a drop overhaul animals drop only meat hides teath andor horns tusks. No gems gold amour or other non crafting articles except the chane to recover arrows if you have the right perk in archery. Well a long discription but I am looking to maximize reality and get rid of little redrideinghood.

You can always try SkyTEST: Realistic Animals and Predators. There's also One With Nature which comes with an MCM menu and you can chose to make wolves a bit more shy of you in it. The menu includes other animals, and a few nature related creatures (like Spriggans).

 

For you second question, I suggest Hunterborn and Nature of the Beast. Hunterborn is great for hunting immersion; skinning pelts, butchering meat, etc (and it all takes time) and foraging, works great with Frostfall. Nature of the Beast has settings to check the direction wind and works as a human character and as a werewolf. It was originally intended as a Vampire and Werewolf overhaul but works great for hunters (and necromancers) as well because it includes features for regular humans as well. I believe it also comes with recipes to help conceal your detection as well.

 

For that last one, Hunterborn works and Harvest Overhaul. Make sure you check the MCMs for compatibility and the features you want. Harvest Overhaul has features to lower the amount of 'treasure' found on game.

 

NOTE: Nature of the Beast is pretty script heavy, but it's a very good mod.
