For anyone that downloaded the earlier versions sorry for the inconveniences, at least uninstalling and reinstalling this mod is fine. The version out now will be the final fix, more content will be released for this mod in the near future like, Giant slaughterfish and more locations!
This mod blended with any small boat mod would be awesome. Imagine trying to row across a lake with these fuckers attacking your boat that has a durability bar. Terrifying. Would bring so much more immersion to the ocean mobs. We still need an official sentient/humanoid ocean mob imho
False, as slaughterfish can live in almost any water habitat in the lore, its fantasy not real life. Also there's only 2 in there lol that's not immersion breaking AND there's literally slaughterfish eggs in that pond
Even in real life this is what the wiki says about the closest related fish to a slaughterfish is capable of.
"Alligator gar have gills, but unlike other species of fish, with few exceptions, they also have a highly vascularized swim bladder lung that supplements gill respiration.[11] The bladder not only provides buoyancy, but also enables them to breathe in air, which is why they are able to inhabit bodies of water in which most other fishes would die of suffocation."
There are also ancient fish that had lobed fins, like the slaughterfish do, and walked on land. That's why they sometimes swim after you even when you're running away from the water.
I've got a fear of deep water mostly because you never know whats in there. I have a mod that makes the water basically crystal clear so I can see those little fuckers before they see me.
I dont think it will be compatible. I have no idea how to port but you can look up online how to covert it for LE and there might be a way, I currently have no time and again dont know how to, but I love your interested in it sincerely.
Thank you for your reply! Yes, i love the idea of the mod, the body of waters in Skyrim are not dangerous enough for my taste. I use 2 mods for that: Frostfall, that makes waters cold, and another that makes slaugtherfishes twice as fast, trice as big and with sharper teeths for increased damage. If i had this one aswell, it would make it even more interesting, and it would make it so i dont just jump on water like it was no big deal.
Thank you for being awesome, if i find a way to port it back to LE, i'll let you know.
I installed yours on my LE, and it worked, without any modification or change. In the words of Todd Howards: "It just works" :D Happy Skyrim Day! 11-11
I guess it wasn't my imagination when I swam all over the lake near Riften and never ran across any slaughterfish. O_o Seems like a pretty egregious oversight; so thanks for the mod.
Thanks! also I may be working and or only finishing up a Ringwraith/Nazgul Mod that simply adds 9 nazguls in creepy not so easy places to find, 1 location having 3 at once, they are the real deal.
Currently playing an Argonian who spends a lot of time in the water, so this is great! The damage change seems a bit extreme tho, and may not fit into my more hardcore mod list. Could you consider making a few other versions with different damage values? Something like 5/10/15/20 would be great so people can pick the one that fits their playstyle best.

If not, would you port it?
Thanks :)

Since this is your mod i think its only fair that you backport it, so you'll get all the glory.
Big thanks :)

is terrifying and gives a new meaning to word aligator gar. I pulled a 4 foot one out the river I crossed chasing a dragon.
