INSTALLATION (very important):

Only for the manual installation:

1) You have to put the folder « Data » in "...Steam/SteamApps/common/skyrim "

For the manual and the NMM installations:

2) You must place the new .esp at the bottom of the list in the "Data Files" when you launch the game to obtain the 24 books (look at the screens)...(Normally, this is done automatically !)

3) (Only if you have download other mods "Summon...") You must INSTALL the summons (my other mods "summon") ONE BY ONE ! (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).

Big Cats Mounts and Followers + Mark and Summon Creatures :

->->->->->->->->->->->->->-><-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-<-

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” or "`" or "~" key to get into console, and type:

set playeranimalcount to 0

3) With Amazing Follower Tweaks by Dheuster , 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

4) 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
