This Mod uses 4 Texture Variants for Chickens + Vanilla Texture to randomize chicken skintextures.
It used a small script which selects one random skin on spawn.
This script was made by fadingsignal and is inculded in the mod Real Rabbits HD.
If you want to know more about this script visit the Real Rabbits HD mod page.
The script is now included. You now longer need to download Real Rabbits HD. (It is still highly recommended, if you also want diverse rabbits in your game)
The .esp is flagged as esl which will not take up a slot in your load order.
THIS MOD DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY TEXTURES PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULLY!
Installation:
First Install SPID and its requirements
Option A (Very Easy) - Chickens will use "Better than Nandos" Textures:
- Download the Better than Nandos version from Main Files.
- Download and install Better than Nando's TEST (Miscellaneous files) from Better than Nando's.
- Remove Better than Nando's.esp. It is not needed.
Option A2 (Very Easy) - Chickens will use "Mihail Chicken Variants" Textures:
- Download the "chicken replacer (se-ae)" from here
- Download "More Chicken Variants (SE-AE)" from here
- Download the Mihail Chicken Variants version from Main Files and overrite the .esp.
Option B (Also Very Easy) - Another mod has a version for Diversified Chickens (i.e. 2021 Simple Chicken Retexture)
- Follow the instructions on that mod page
Option C (Intermediate) - If you want other textures
- Download the Custom Version from Main Files
- Now you need to find 4 chicken textures from any mods you like
- Copy the chicken.dds and chicken_n.dds from all the retexture mods (found in: \textures\actors\chicken)
you downloaded into the directory
"\textures\actors\chicken\skinX" (where the readme.txt is located) - Important: you need to fill every skin folder, otherwise you get purple chickens!
Option D (Expert) - if you want more than or less than 4 Variants
