This mod is VR-Friendly.
Now available for XBOX ONE on Bethesda.net
Check out my interview with Bethesda about this mod here!
My new mod, The Mobile Mechanic (portable crafting and scrapping) makes a perfect companion to Campsite!
Campsite adds craftable / carryable tents & sleeping bags (new meshes and HD textures in several colors, including camos), cloth wall, fires, lanterns, and cooking pot, each with their own unique gameplay dynamics, sounds, interactivity, and animations. Simple enough for light play, detailed enough to make you feel involved.
It's very basic under the hood, and safe to be added mid-playthrough. I don't suggest uninstall any mods mid-game, but this should be fairly safe to remove any time as well.

At the chem station there is a new category called CAMPING GEAR. If you're using Armor and Weapon Keywords all items will be in the OTHER category. I did not make a new category because limits are being discovered there too.

[]Colors included are vanilla/white, black, blue, forest camo, desert camo, grey, green, red, and for sleeping bags two more extra colors: Nuka Cola (red) and Vault-Tec/Vault-Boy (blue.)
[]Makeshift Tent: A tarp draped over a branch with a sleeping bag underneath, lantern can be attached.
[]Pole Tent (single): New tent mesh, with a single sleeping bag. Lantern can be attached. 7 colors available.
