Ambient AI

Introduction

This mod injects a dynamic behavior system into your party members. When idle, they will naturally interact with the world around them—lighting dark rooms, investigating strange objects, sitting on benches, and scavenging for loose items. It makes the party feel like a group of living adventurers, not just game pawns.

✨ Key Features

• Light the Way: Companions will automatically light nearby unlit sconces, candelabras, braziers, and lamps.[] Take a Load Off: If standing near chairs, benches, or beds, companions may sit down or take a quick nap (regenerating a tiny bit of health).[] Culture & Curiosity: Characters will admire paintings, inspect statues/busts, check their reflection in mirrors, and investigate strange apparatuses (globes, telescopes, ancient mechanisms).[] World Interaction: They will inspect gravestones, interact with water pumps and blacksmith bellows, and examine the "Shallow Vestiges" left by spirits.[] Destruction: Companions will automatically attack cracked/weak walls to clear paths.[] Idle Wandering: If nothing interesting is nearby, they may take a casual stroll to stretch their legs.

🎒 Looting & Scavenging

This mod features a smart "Scavenging" system designed to be helpful without cluttering your inventory with junk.

• [] Loose Item Pickup (Functional)If there are loose items on the floor—weapons, gold piles, scrolls, potions, or gems—your companions will run over and pick them up. Safety Feature: If they pick up a weapon/torch, they will immediately unequip it to preserve their loadout.

• []Containers & Corpses (Visual Only) Companions will walk over to crates, chests, and dead bodies to "inspect" them. They will open the lid or stand over the body to look, but they will not take items from inside. This adds immersion without stealing loot you wanted to check yourself or filling their bags with rotten cheese.

  []Crime PreventionThe AI checks ownership before touching anything. They will not touch "Red" (owned) items or containers to prevent triggering guards.

🛡️ Safety & Compatibility
