Original Description

Riverwood - added 1 calf
Loreius Farm - added 1 calf
Rorikstead - added 2 calves

 - 29-01-2015 v1.0 Initial release

Description
=================================
To my surprise I could not find any remodels or mods that add cow calves to Skyrim (unless I missed it).

Differences with the normal cow model are:
 - Removed horns
 - Udder greatly shrunk
 - Tail shortened

No changes made to:
 - Texture, uses standard Cow texture
 - Uses vanilla Cow skeleton, so its compatible with new animations etc
 - Calves added by the ESP use the same Package as vanilla cows (a Sandbox package, radius 256 from editor location) and will use the cow Idle Markers

Suggestions welcome.
This resource can be used freely, but please list me in your credits if you release any mod containing this mesh.





Mesh resource usage
=================================
To put it ingame in your own mod you will have to copy/duplicate Armor entry "SkinCow" and Armor Addon entry "NakedCowAA".
Point your new Armor entry's Models list (Armor dialog, on the lower-right) to your new Calf Armor Addon.
Duplicate Actor/NPC EncCow, change Skin (on Traits tab) to your new calf Armor entry.
Change Actor/NPC Height to 0.7 (for example).

Credits
=================================
Thanks to Bethesda and Nexusmods.

Please credit me if you distribute this mesh as part of a mod.

Cheers.

Description

This is a port of GreyFox77's Cow Calves in Skyrim mod from the Legendary Skyrim Nexus. The calves are relatively few in number, and they always are next to adult cows. Any replacers should work with them.

The mod is an ESL-Flagged ESP, also known as an ESP-FE, which means it will not take up a slot in your load order. Amazing!

Installation

Use Mod Organizer 2

Requirements

None.

Compatibility

Texture and animation replacers for cows should also affect the calves. Any city or town overhaul that moves where the vanilla cows are may cause issues, as that generally means the calves will spawn wherever those original farm animals were. I don't believe many, if any, popular town or city overhauls do such a thing, though. If so, let me know, and I'll happily make a patch!

A patch for Dynamic Animal Variants is now provided thanks to juzu1234's instructions!
