Big Cats Mounts and Followers No DLC Edition

NO DLC REQUIRED (If you have the DLC Dawnguard, you must subscribe to Big Cats Mounts and Followers DLC Dawnguard Edition )


Improved version of this mod: Big Cats House (DLC Dawnguard needed)


"Big Cats" allow you to summon 10 Big Cats Mounts and -simple- Followers (2 Lions, Lioness, Panther, 2 Leopards, 3 Tigers, Spectral Sabrecat) wherever you want.

You can easily DISMISS when you want with a "Spell tome:Dismiss Summoned Big Cats"

The 8 -complete- Companions/Followers (with speech) are in the 5 Stables (Whiterun, Markath, Riften, Solitude, Windhelm) .



INSTALLATION (very important)

1) You must place this .esp at the bottom of the list in the Data Files when you launch the game to obtain the 11 books (look at the screens)...(Normally, this is done automatically)

2) If (and only if !) you have subscribed to several mods Summon... You must install these mods ONE BY ONE to obtain the books! (ALL my mods are STANDALONE !)

You can find the “Spell tome: Summon XXX” and the "Spell tome:Dismiss Summoned Big Cats", at Farengar Secret-Fire in Dragonsreach/Fort Dragon (Whiterun/Blancherive) or with an other Spell Vendor (ex: Sybille Stentor in the Blue Palace/Palais Bleu in Solitude).

Duration of the summon: 1 hour (15' for the Spectral Sabrecat)

IMPORTANT

1) If you have any problem with these mounts, you can try a FAST TRAVEL...

2) You can only have one Follower at a time: if you want a different one, you need to dismiss the first one before you recruit them.

If telling the follower to return at home (With message: “Your companion heads home”) doesn't dismiss him, or if you have lost the active Follower, you can try this:

Type “²” key to get into console, and type:

set playeranimalcount to 0

With Amazing Follower Tweaks , or other mod with followers, if problem to dismiss the followers, you can uncheck this mod (AFT or other) in the Data Files when you launch the game

If problem with the Dialog Box of the followers/ companions (Wait - Follow - Trade - Favor - Dismiss) you can also enter / exit a house or make a fast travel

3) You can put in your Skyrim.ini (\ user \ my documents \ my games \ Skyrim \) the following settings (you can copy / paste the following):

[Camera]

fVanityModeMaxDist=2000.0000
fVanityModeMinDist=10.0000
fMouseWheelZoomMinDelta=0.0050
fMouseWheelZoomSpeed=0.8000
fMouseWheelZoomIncrement=0.01
fMinCurrentZoom=0.001


These settings allow you to see all mounts (of my mods) correctly, whether your character takes his weapon out or not


4) To change the speed of the mounts, look at my screens...
