Why are my rats not tiny? (MMM/FCOM question) : IV

» Tue Aug 16, 2011 7:23 pm

In a previous install of FCOM I ran the rats in the start of the game were tiny, I'm quite sure this was an MMM alteration.
However now I'm running the newer versions of OOO/MMM and FCOM these changes have dissapeared.

I've used the new OMOD MMM installer which alters the BSA files as well, so I don't think that's the issue.

LoadOrder- if there are any issues please let me know.

maybe the tiny rats you saw were carrion rats. they appear near dead bodies and are quite small.

Good bit of insight but these were definately the enemy rats (the ones who break down the wall at the beginning).
Haven't seen carrion rats yet but I'm sure they're still in here.

Could just be the rats got scrapped.

Carrion rats remind me too much of South Park when K-enny gets killed

So I disable those. As for rat sizes I always saw smaller to bigger (the bigger ones were gore rats). Go into the elven sewers and you should find a room with a bunch of them and check the sizes there. Maybe you just haven't run into them yet.

Actually that's a point, I haven't seen any Gore rats either :/ I swear there were some in there.
I wonder what's going wrong...

I think I remember a mod for either Oblivion or Morrowind (or maybe both) that made the rats tiny...

I play with a full FCOM load order and I have for awhile, and the only tiny rats I see are the Carrion rats. maybe you are thinking of another mod?
