im not sure why, but when i reanimate anything it goes straight to completely decayed, as in full drauger or skeleton. how to i make it to where they'll decay over time as advertised?

This is a cool and interesting mod but... I just don't use Necromancy that often. I personally prefer summoning. So, I'll pass.

@Whis San: there's an amulet you can craft, to add the effect to yourself. I think the recipe is just a black soul gem, at a forge; or you can check out my friend's mod Undead Races

i want this for my own charakter :D this would be soooo coool

@Atrophy:
That sounds like my old friend, the brawl bug.

Actually, I just made an update that includes some checks to stop it. It's only on the nexus at the moment, so you can download it here -> http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36158?

It also improves a lot of the ways the mod works in the background, so I would recommend it. although, it drops a few smaller features, so if you want to keep using this version from the workshop, you can download the Brawl Bug Patch which should stop it as well

Run into a little bug that I've isolated down to this mod.
When entering a brawl with Hofgrir 'Horse Crusher' outside of Riften, at the stables, through the dialogue "Must be dangerous living outside the walls", it consistently triggers combat, "So you want a real fight eh", and he draws a weapon... The brawl either ends in death or you can sheath your fists/weapons to forefit.
I isolated it down to only official files, dawngard, hearthfire, dragonborn, high res 1, 2 and 3, to make sure it wasn't a conflict with any of my other mods and it still occurred.
I like this mod though, but for now its disabled :)

No problem. This is the one. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58069/? . I am reanimating Orchendor, but the effect is not applying. It actually worked this one time along with the dead thralls mod, but the next day it ceased to work again. The only reanimation spell I use is the default Dead Thrall one. I used it on Chief Yamarz one time but that didn't work either. I have invested magic so I got the patch for it as well. I got this from the Nexus, update 5 v3 I believe.

@Nexus: Hi, sorry for the slow reply, but I'd recently uninstalled Skyrim (and when I reinstalled it, workshop downloading started messing up, a royal pain), so it took a while before I could take a look at this.

Anyways, is the Better Dead Thralls mod you're using this one or this one or some other one? I did some quick testing on both, and they seemed to be working fine. If you're still having the problem, could you give me some more information?

Does it work with other reanimation spells? How many different bodies have you tried dead thrall on? as well as anything else you think might be useful
Nexus 18 Jul, 2016 @ 11:10am 
I'm using this in conjunction with the Better Dead Thralls mod but it isn't working. I've de and reanimated my thralls several times, with the Dead Thrall spell. Any idea why? I've set the degradation chance to 100.

@Timeplitter: very cool, thanks for including it

thanks

@Elfendrago: go for it
HurricainReaperProductions 3 Jun, 2016 @ 9:37pm 
was wondering if i could use your mod in a mod similar to the undead races mod but using a quest and disease to become undead instead of simply starting a game undead
The Clown 15 Jan, 2016 @ 4:33pm 
Ok, this is just a lil' bit too unsettling for me... I'm not a fan of... well 'desecration' so to speak.

But props to you. This is pretty well made.

Reccomendation:Use bloody bones,but this mod is still great without it!
:steamhappy:
Hondo 30 Apr, 2015 @ 11:51am 
Great mod would be awesome if you make an alternative version with no glowing eyes... thanks
white beast of wotan 27 Apr, 2015 @ 9:39pm 
Awesome mod :petrifiedeye:
Blaze_Hammer 26 Dec, 2014 @ 4:20am 
is this compatible with what is dead may never die??
Alcox the Great 28 Sep, 2014 @ 6:02am 
This mod is amazing, but the skin resets after you revive the corpse again. Is there anyway to fix that?
Fallen Griever 22 Sep, 2014 @ 7:10pm 
hey is it out of the question if i ask that you change the undeads constant noise. please consider making some sort of noise filter in the mcm or perhaps adding alternative noises that are less anoying than the vanilla ones. only reason i ask is cause i cant find any. also i love this mod
ACRONYM 12 Sep, 2014 @ 11:08pm 
it wont work ive trieed everything :(
[T13] ÆUGH 8 Aug, 2014 @ 5:30pm 
Hey W_Dog, thanks for posting this mod here. the Nexus is a bit buggy today huh? anywho, love the death/decay look it adds. this plus the necromesis mod = the best necromancer experience ever.
W_Dog  [author] 11 Jun, 2014 @ 2:28pm 
@KBz | Ghost Nappa: Yes, and I recommend SKSE for anyone who isn't using it.
One Nerd 6 Jun, 2014 @ 7:15am 
Does it work for skse?
W_Dog  [author] 11 May, 2014 @ 6:06am 
@srbalough: The FX work on the player, and can be easily applied by wearing an amulet added in the mod; If you have SkyUI installed, you can give it to yourself in the debug section of the MCM, otherwise you can craft it at a forge using an unfilled black soulgem. It's called the "Necromantic Amulet"
Rainbow Dash 10 May, 2014 @ 4:00am 
does it work on the player.
Nights Decent 5 May, 2014 @ 12:24pm 
yeah i said that before actually using the mod...i have yet to have one fully decompose to an entire skeleton though :P
W_Dog  [author] 2 May, 2014 @ 5:51pm 
@Nights Decent: It doesn't actually affect gameplay; reanimated bodies dissolve to a certain amount, immediately, but they don't go further unless you're using a spell that completely destroys the body, and getting to the "fully dissolved" state by re-using a body just reduces them to a skeleton, which can still be re-used.
Nights Decent 2 May, 2014 @ 12:21pm 
....so when they completely disolve then i have to find a new body? well that kinda sucks....but at the same it time is really realistic and tempting....meh i'll get it just cause i have another mod that lets me supply my own bodies

Rogue 17 Mar, 2014 @ 2:31pm 
weres the amulet
Goblin 22 Jan, 2014 @ 12:21pm 
Woah. Thats awesome.
Der Ehrwürden 27 Dec, 2013 @ 9:05am 
Dude this is neat as F*ck, I don't know if you've been told this, but could you make a playable race/skin version of this? Be awesome to look undead like as a player. Reminds me of Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare.
W_Dog  [author] 25 Dec, 2013 @ 6:20pm 
@Sturmgewehr_44: Sorry, there isn't anything I can do about it

@Lazz:At this time, there's no way to get rid of the glow, and it is set up so that the automatic worsening only happens if a spell that should destroy the body is used to reanimate the NPC (i.e. where you wouldn`t be able to reanimate them again), otherwise re-reanimating will be the only time the worsening happens.
Gemful NuChrist 24 Dec, 2013 @ 3:52pm 
Is there a way to get rid of the blue glow? Also, is there a way to make it so that the effects only get worse if you raise them again rather than automatically over time?
Sturmgewehr_44 9 Dec, 2013 @ 6:22pm 
Is there anyway to decrease its effects?
W_Dog  [author] 9 Dec, 2013 @ 6:05pm 
@Sturmgewehr_44: That problem happens without ENBs as well (it's just not as noticable), and its because of how the Skyrim engine renders NPC skin when the hole shader is added to them

@LINDINLE: Things are happening.
Sturmgewehr_44 8 Dec, 2013 @ 6:24pm 
This is a known side-effect of using SSAO with ENB's, but the Reanimated corpses (And Skeleton) is visible through their skin, even before the Dissolve Effects start to appear. Is there anyway to combat this?
LINDINLE 21 Nov, 2013 @ 9:37pm 
well if you have the body degrade into a daugar then once its a drougar it turns into a skeliton then after a while the bones dissapear liek turn to dust right?
W_Dog  [author] 20 Nov, 2013 @ 7:12pm 
@LINDINLE: I'm sorry for not responidng for so long. Simple answer: it is possible, and I do want to make it, but I didn`t want to respond until I had I definitely knew if I would. Before I do, I want to make sure to do it in a way that doesn`t cause any save game bloat, or use extra data (which a script on every corpse, preventing it from being deleted may very well do), and I wanted to add more than just the skeleton to the FX (since that won't be magic, so I can't get away with that kind of rubbish), and I need time, which is something I've been struggling to find recently.
Sorry this is taking such an extrordinarily long of time, but I am going to do it, and I plan for it to be soon.
Cris Tian 17 Nov, 2013 @ 2:04am 
actually, your explanation sounds pretty logical ...i still do not know if i will download that mod or not, but thanks for have responded to me
LINDINLE 16 Nov, 2013 @ 11:50am 
well is it possible?
W_Dog  [author] 16 Nov, 2013 @ 7:26am 
@Ulisse Odisseo: Its not rot; in the vanilla game raised zombies disintegrate once the spell holding them ends, and I intended my FX to be an extension of that, rather than decay.
I always want mods I use to be plausable and lore friendly, so I understand if my reasoning isn't enough to make it feel right for you
Cris Tian 15 Nov, 2013 @ 9:56am 
i don't know... a corpse that rot over in the same istant you revive him? even if he was alive just two second ago? it's a well done mod... but i don't think i'm gonna subscribe to it, sorry
LINDINLE 26 Sep, 2013 @ 3:36pm 
right just make the rot effect happen when an enemy dies
LINDINLE 26 Sep, 2013 @ 3:28pm 
can you try to make one?
