» Sat Jul 28, 2012 2:16 am This is a collection of small mods that make life easier for players playing as pacifists, or who want a more peaceful game.
More mods will also be added to this page over time.
I'm fully aware that this is a niche collection that won't be to everyones taste.
1) "Catch" becomes "Catch and Kill".
When I first saw a butterfly in-game, I was delighted, so tried to pick it up as I was given the option to "Catch Butterfly", fully expecting to let it fly away afterwards. I was then horrified when I saw I had killed the butterfly and now had a butterfly wing in my inventory. This tiny mod simply changes the text from "Catch" to "Catch and Kill" as a warning to players that they won't just catch the creature, but will also kill it if they try to activate it. It applies to butterflies, moths, torchbugs, dragonflies, and fish.
This will only apply to vanilla creatures, not those added by 83Willows 101Bugs as I do not use that mod. If there is demand I may consider making a patch.
2) Cowardly Skeevers and Wolves (inspired by "cowardly wolves and/or skeevers" by jpro6)
This makes standard skeevers and wolves cowardly, so they don't attack on sight. You are large and potentially dangerous to them, and they have plenty of other weaker prey around, so they don't need to hunt humans. You can still hunt them. Only affects vanilla skeevers and wolves, and doesn't affect those as part of quests.
3) Spriggans are More Peaceful.
For nature spirits, Spriggans are certainly very aggressive. If you roleplay as a nature-lover, or a priest of Kynareth, why should they always attack you? This mod prevents most normal Spriggans from attacking you (and most other creatures) on sight, and if you are being attacked, they may even come to your aid. This will not apply to all Spriggans or scripted Spriggans as part of quests.
These mods should work fine, but haven't been tested thoroughly so the usual mod disclaimer applies - always keep a back-up of your save game before installing, and test it thoroughly before continuing with your current character. If you find any issues, or have any suggestions, please let me know.
