📋 About This Mod
This is a port of the mod Niben Bay Camp by zymurgy65.
Description from the original:
"I've always felt rather sorry for Gaius Prentus. The poor guy is marooned on a tiny island in Niben Bay 24/7 with no supplies and only a crazy Khajiit for company. Makes you wonder what he did to get Viera Lerus so ticked off...
This little mod gives Gaius his own camp complete with tent, bedroll, stool, fire, food, beer and a little light reading. He's now classed as a Guard and belongs to the relevant factions, so don't steal his stuff! New AI packages ensure Gaius will eat and sleep normally once the player enters the Gates of Madness – many thanks to Striker879 for the info on how to give new AI packages priority.
At the same time, S'fara will swim to Bawnwatch Camp – no hardship for an unencumbered scout. Once there she'll light the camp fire and live on mud crab gumbo for the duration. In the unlikely event of her death the fire will go out.
This mod must be activated before you speak to Haskill for the first time, otherwise Gaius won't sheathe his sword, his new AI packages won't kick in, and S'fara will be stuck on the island forever."
