About this mod
Various hostile animals in creatures in Skyrim now dynamically level with the player in a balanced manner instead of staying at a static level, creating a more consistent challenge throughout your playthrough.
- Permissions and credits
Leveled Creatures makes a variety of hostile animals and creatures a more consistent challenge for the player rather then staying at a fixed static level and quickly becoming easy/one-shot fights once you surpass their level. This is done by making these creatures instead level at a dynamic rate according to the player's level with each creature balanced uniquely, based on its original static level.
Because I've gone through and balanced each creature uniquely instead of making them all level 1:1 with the player, all creatures this mod effects should still steadily become easier as the player progresses through their game, by either gradually falling behind the player's level or hitting their maximum level cap, for the few tougher enemies I've made to scale above the player's level. This mod simply prevents creatures from becoming far too easy far too fast. (Wolves are a good example of this).
Below are all the creatures this mod levels. All minimum levels are the creature's vanilla static level, while their max level and level multiplier are based on their "vanilla difficulty", aka their original static level and how challenging they are in a general sense. Note that anything with a level multiplier below 1.0x will gradually become easier as you level up. For example, I gave Ice Wraith's a multiplier of 0.5x. So therefore, at level 20 they are 10 levels below you but at level 40 they are 20 levels below you. Anything with a multiplier over 1.0 will gradually level over the player's level, until they hit their level cap. However this is partially balanced out by the player naturally acquiring new perks/weapons/armor/etc as they progress in level.

This mod DOES change the NPC records of the creatures it effects, however it only touches Flags by adding "PC Level Mult" and then changing the levels. If you have any mods that touch these same NPC records, they should be extremely easy to patch using your preferred patching method as long as they don't change their levels.
