LE No Spiders

[psychophunk]

Can someone make a mode, or even teach me how to get rid of the spider models in the game? I don't care even if it was replaced by the meshes and textures of a fluffy teddy bear, as realism isn't something I'm looking for right now, I just want to get rid of them as quickly as possible.

 

Thanks

You could always extract the mesh of some other creature from the BSA and use it as a replacer for the spider mesh.

There is already a thread around here that states this. Person above me is correct.

well thats what I tried to do, but it didn't work.

First, I opened the bsa file using bsa commander -after I edited byte 5 from 68 to 67 in a hex editor-

then I extracted all the meshes files into a folder, replaced the spider mesh with something else

Used BSA commander to pack the entire Mesh folder again and placed it in place of the original Skyrim mesh.BSA -after I reedited byte5 to 68 in the hex editor-

I try to launch the game, but the game crashes when its in the loading screen.

 

So I brought back the original mesh.BSA folder,

and tried to override the meshes by creating a Mesh folder in the game's data directory

and creating the path for the spider's mesh and replacing it with something else,

but all I managed to do is freezing the spider's animation, but it still look like a s[ider...and I can't come up with the courage to defeat this thing.

 

Thanks for the help.

Sorry, I searched this and oblivion's forums, and I didn't/don't see any related topics.

If anybody could make a mod that could replace the giant spiders with another model (like a bear or a wolf) or just tell me how to do it myself I would be forever grateful. I´m a huge arachnophobe and I really dont want to face those giant spiders. So please...somebody help those of us who suffer from arachnophobia. Edited November 11, 2011 by Deadeye666

Just gonne bump it with a big please because as it stand right now those giant spiders are preventing me from really playing the game. So if somebody could figure out a way to do it without the CK that would be absolutely fantastic....

Also Bump,

 

I'd really like a mod that replaces spiders with other creatures as in the post above me. I'd be willing to pay a bit through paypal for one. =]

I'll make an attempt, just give me some time to test it.

 

Edit:

 

Done!

Looks like I'm not the only one...Why would Bethesda put these disgusting creatures is beyond me.

Anyway, for those who are having trouble playing the game, I found a temporary solution with my brother's help -whom he played for me against these creatures-,

at the beginning of the game, you'll face them creatures twice, and you can -almost avoid them...almost -but I do recommend the help of a friend.

 

The first batch are in the starting cave, your companion with stand in the middle of the hall where they are, you just have to come close to the room so they can drop from the ceiling,

your companion will handle the rest.

 

for the second one, in the first you visit, even though it has a lot of spider webs, there's only one -giant- of them, in the room that's white from huge amount of spider webs,

you'll hear a guy scrams when it comes down from the ground to trap him.

you can kill it by not looking at the screen and equipping destruction magic on both hand and abusing it against the creature, then moving a couple of feet so its dead body is behind you.

after it, you'll only face skeleton monsters in the rest of the cave.

 

Hope the at least helps you to enjoy a bit more of the game, though I don't know if other caves suffer from the same thing.

 

EDIT: I just found out that almost every cave have them...:(

That would be a HUGE help.
