Don't do Skooma.

Seriously, don't do it.

This evening I decided to sit down and make a new character, I currently have about 50 mods installed, but I have never installed one that should do this, I honestly think its just an incredibly big coincidence but here goes.

I'm walking from Markarth to whiterun (no fast travel mod is enabled), I got to about the watch tower (the one the dragon attacks in the one of the early dragonborn missions of the game) and I got tired of waiting for my stamina to regen so I look in my inventory, wouldn't you know it, the only potion I got is a bottle of Skooma, so what the heck lets do this, I pop it. immediately my screen gets blurry around the edges, ok w/e I got the stamina I wanted lets keep going. Then I see something a little odd, its night time so I can see it from a little way off, but just ahead of me on the street (almost right under the watch tower) is a ghost, ok probably some quest from some mod, lets do this, I wander over there and its a ghost horse, with AN ACTUAL HEADLESS HORSEMAN on top of it. mmmmmk a little odd, lets talk. But he rides off before I get get to him, ok hes not going to fast, lets see if I can catch up, I run after him, nearly catch him once or twice, before he finally runs off, well crap ok. By now i'm way north of where I wanted to be, on the foothills of the mountains north of whiterun, just as he's getting away I realize theres red dots on my compass in every direction, crap wolves or probably bandits or something. No its elk, and I don't mean like 1 or 2, I mean like 30. In a circle around me. Their all screaming their elk-screem at me (sounds kinda like a werewolf in the distance, dunno really how to describe it) soooo I'm kinda flipping out at the moment (My lighting mods make it really dark at night, plus my visions blurring so I can only see whats directly in front of me, on top of all this I just chased a headless horseman into the back end of no where and I'm surrounded by an army of killer elk, so you can understand my current status.) Finally after screeming for a while they attack, I killed 10-15 of them, the rest ran off, and within a few seconds I couldn't find any trace of them having been there except the corpses of the ones I killed. Sooooo yeah thats my story, it just happened and I seriously wanted to tell someone while it was still fresh in my memory, I dunno what to do really, I'm probably gonna walk back to whiterun and sleep off the debuffs from the skooma. Thoughts? has anything happened like this or was this some freak combination of mods?

the headless horseman is a random encounter thats can happen pretty much anywhere in whiteruns plains

as for the elk, it was likely a mod that spawned so many.. I don't think the game usually spawns so many elk at once..


Anyways, welcome to the forums! http://images.uesp.net/c/c4/Fishystick.jpg

Ha thanks, idk geuss it was just random, I still feel it was probably the most acurate representation of being high I have ever seen in a game.
