It also offers a variety of force settings while reducing the force applied to ragdolls to a reasonable level.

The creators have also repaired an issue where ragdolls would launch themselves when killed with any weapon due to a lightning spell duration problem.

This mod restores the visual and aural distinctions between lakes, ponds, marshes, rivers, and oceans. The mod also adds new ambient sound effects, which can be heard in lakes, rivers, and oceans, while ponds stay silent.

Magical College of Winterhold

It also overhauls all racial abilities and stats in such a way that they can even be used by NPCs. Each mission unlocks one new power and three new passive abilities for each race.

The majority of the same racial skills and abilities are available to NPCs. For example, Elven Supremacy effectiveness is increased by 10% when it reaches level 100, and Gold and Glass replenishes up to 100% more quickly.
