PISE or ASIS or...?

[Cthuloot]

Suffice it to say, I'm rather disappointed with some 'battles' in Skyrim. For example giant camps with only two (MALE :blink: ) giants? A tomb with only 5 or 6 draugr that aren't too happy to see me. Caves inhabited by 4 falmer? A wolf pack with 3 wolves? Kind of underwhelming at times. So I did what any sensible modder would do and looking into it! I found two possible mods that increase the spawn rates of them. However they add some other... Things.

 

The first is PISE while this one does have an version that will ONLY increase spawns, the author mentions in passing (Or perhaps I misunderstood) that it sometimes doesn't work properly, and the continues on without any further information. Or maybe I missed something? Additionally it seems he's moved on to bigger and better things, precisely, the next mod.

 

ASIS is the predecessor to PISE as the mod author states. However, the mod page for it, is rather hard to follow for me. Maybe I should have paid more attention in school! ASIS seems to be more up to date and adds some things I might enjoy or come to hate. I'm using the Mastery of Magicka mod which adds some new spells as well as a complete overhaul of the perk system, including many re-balances and new perks. ASIS is said to implement these, which I think is pretty cool.

 

While these both look great, there is a problem I see. They both seem to remove the leveling lists for enemies, at least from what I understand, which is something I don't want to do. However, I can't seem to find if it's toggleable in ASIS or in the full version of PISE.

 

My point in all this is, does anybody have any experience with these that they'd be willing to share? Is PISE still relevant and working well? Is ASIS where it's at now? Is there even another option if I want to increase monster spawns that I missed while searching? Any info and experiences with these mods would be great!
