Try this: On the Menu Bar, select Gameplay, then Magic Effects, then Edit one of the Summons Spell Effects.

On the "Assoc. Item" drop down, select the special monster that you made.

I edited Summon Clanfear, and changed it to Summon Troll (Assoc. Item = TrollHard). However, I did not test it out (yet), to see if it did summon a Troll.

When I attempted to make a new spell, it did allow me to add the (edited) Spell Effect, Summon Troll.

I tested it out, and I did summon a Troll, and they even attacked other Creatures, and followed me.

Where is the Summon Clanfear spell used in the game? I'm not sure people would want to download a custom race that removes something from it.

This method does sound like it would work though, so thanks for the tip.

Interesting...
Theres a bunch of Magic Effects with IDs from Z006 - Z020 named "Extra Summon [n]" with no associated Item.
seems like they are empty slots for new summon types.

Holy crap.
In the construction set I created a creature named King Kong that was basically a gigantic troll with mongo hitpoints and damage...
I changed the "Associated Item" for the "Summon Zombie" spell to point to the "King Kong" creature and now when i cast "Summon Zombie" I summon "King Kong" ROFL

so ya, you will probably want to edit one of those "Extra Summon" slots unless you want everything that summons Clanfears to summon a Troll

I used one of those extra slots before posting this thread. Doing so caused some very weird sound glitches in normal game play. Proceed with caution!

actually the solution to your problem can be solved in 3 steps...

1. go to www.elderscrolls.com
2. click patches
3. click TES Construction set NEW patch

i cant remember what the patch ver. is but i have it and theres at least 10 extra bound items, and 10 extra summons in th list on my TESCS
