My top Werewolf mods for Skyrim special Edition
I felt that the vanilla game for werewolves is unfortunately…drab. You know, aside from a small combat advantage, I felt that there was no fun in being a werewolf in the game after joining the companions.
So, after pumping my game with enough mods to crash the game, I found some choice ones that are decent and make the playthrough feel like you are an actual Hound of Hircine, cursed beast, or whatever you want to play as. These are my top favorites for Skyrim SSE.
Mind you, some mods may conflict with each other, so read the requirements and conflicts and download at your own risk.
The bread and butter of werewolf mods. This one allows you to change the default skin of your werewolf to either your race or another color that catches your fancy. You can also set what kind of transformations you have, from your standard full moon to every night. Its not like the Vanilla MLT mod, which also brings Sanieus Lupinus into Skyrim, but its still a good mod to have and I highly recommend it. It also works with the
The Lunar transformation system grants you the option to choose what kind of moon you’d like to shift under. You can go W:TA/W:TF rules and choose to transform under a specific moon auspice, increase chances for specific moon types, or the classic full moon fever.
With the skin system, you can choose your desired color and select if NPCs can use them, granting some more werewolf variety to your game. I highly recommend this one.
Overhauls the werewolf (and werebear) mechanics. It’s compatible with most werewolf mods, including Moonlight Tales, but not the MLT: perk tree overhaul
It adds a few tweaks and balances to the werewolf system. Not as immersive as MLT or Growl-werebeast, but it gives you various buffs depending on your race to your Beast-blood character.
This is another overhaul mod that overhauls the werewolf and werebear system to make your character a lot more powerful It also alters the perk system so that you can grant your werebeast blood to followers and other QoL features such as being able to revert back. It doesn’t also involve your beast form, but your human form as well. It also includes uncontrolled transformations if you do not heed the call of your beastblood, and have a chance to transform at random.
There are also other features that competes with Moonlight tales (SSE), such as the beastblood mechanic and the ability to grant it to followers, catching Sanieus from a werewolf attack, and the rare chance to become one (Such as sleeping outdoors when both of the moons are full). Its another mod I recommend as well if you want the vanilla Moonlight tales feel, but without the moon phase customization and skins.
This mod does conflict with MLTs and removes the perk system this mod has and overrides it with MLT’s. The beastblood as a alchemical item exists, but the mechanics to grant it to followers and NPCs with MLT installed do not work.
Another mod that enhances the werewolf experience. You are a hound of Hircine, and as such, the call of the hunt is in your blood.
With this mod, it introduces a system where you have to hunt and grants bonuses to heeding the call of the hunt and negatives to not sating your inner beast. Its a cool system that immerses you and how you want to play your character as a werewolf. Either as someone who sees their beast blood as a curse, a double edged sword that helps you fight monsters as a monster, or just embrace Hircine’s gift and go ham on some helpless townsfolk.
It has a notification system that alerts you when your character is famished or starving. Your screen will blur and you will hear either growling or howling. You also can set the difficulty in order to make your character kill more often or much less.
Adds two variants to the disease, your vanilla Lupinis and the weaker Hysteria. It also includes a few reference books, voiced acknowledgement from the companions if you are one, and an alternate way to cure yourself if you are a non-companion were.
Adds more werewolves (and some packs) in the game. Paired with lupins and other mods that have the addition to the disease, it increases your chances to become infected as well.
Makes the NPC ones more formidable. Pairs well with mods like More Carnage.
Heart of the beast: Sound overhaul
Adds more RAWR to werewolves.
Share your kill with your packmates!
Tweaks the werewolf gameplay and werewolf AI a bit. If you don’t add Canis Hysteria, it also adds the werewolf disease to the game.
Instead of leaving a body, it’ll leave bones and junk. I’ll make another list if I find any more mods that makes werewolf gameplay fun.
