📋 About This Mod

Beta ver 0. 9

Since the release of companion Vilja, I have frequently received feedback from players who are unhappy with that companions cannot sleep in the Cyrodiil Inns. The reason for this little flaw is (simplified explanation) that the beds in the inns have ownership assigned to them - and the ownership is temporary transferred to the player while he/she rents the bed. Which means that even if the gentleman player uses a bedroll to sleep on the floor, the companions will still not use the beds.

Also I found this annoying, so I decided to do something about it. This mod adds extra beds to most of the inns in Cyrodiil - beds that will only be enabled during the period when the player rent a room. These extra beds have no ownership assigned to them, and companions (well, at least Vilja - she's the only one I have tested with) can use them. When necessary, I have adjusted the pathgrid in the areas to help the companions to reach the new beds. In some inns I have used another approach - I temporary unlock a door to a room with an existing bed that has no ownership assigned to it. Then the companions should go there and sleep.

In some inns, the rooms have been so crowded that I haven't been able to add more than a bedroll, and in some inns, I haven't been able to add anything at all. I have discovered that in some inns (notable West Weald Inn in Skingrad), Vilja isn't able to find the bed unless you lead her to it and tell her that she can sleep there.

NOTE THAT THIS IS A BETA VERSION! So many beds have been added that I simply haven't had time to test every bed in every inn. So, if you find a bed that your companion cannot use, or if you find something else that doesn't work as it should, please let me know.

List of inns

In the following inns, there should be beds or bedrolls also for your companion:

Anvil - The Counts Arms Bravil - Lonely Suitor Lodge Bruma - Jerall View Bruma - Olav's Tap and Tack Cheydinhal - Cheydinhal Bridge Inn Cheydinhal - Newlands Lodge Chorrol - The Grey Mare Chorrol - The Oak and Crosier Tavern IC (Imperial City) - The King and Queen Tavern IC - The Merchants Inn IC - Tiber Septim Hotel IC - The All Saints Inn Leyawiin - Five Claws Lodge Skingrad - Two Sisters Lodge Skingrad - West Weald Inn

Border Watch Inn Brina Cross Inn Gottshaw Inn Tavern Imperial Bridge Inn Tavern Pell Gate The Sleeping Mare Roxey Inn The Drunken Dragon Inn Wawnet Inn Tavern

Note that I have NOT added any companion beds to Shivering Islands.
