Camping lite is a simple, streamlined, camping mod. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This mod has been updated for Skyrim Special edition here ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are few other camping mods, but I made this one for people (like me) who want to keep the idea simple and who want an easier and faster method to set up a Camp through an ability (power). It's designed to provide to the player a tent, a fire and a small sitting log, that can be installed in a fast efficient way. The last camp also provides a map marker on the Tamriel map, and allows fast travel.

It also should be compatible with all hypothermia mods that use generic formID to find fire sources.

  • Howto:
  • Just go to a forge and craft a Camping Kit (in misc section). You will then gain a new ability that will let you set up a tent, a fire, and gather wood if you are near a tree.
  • This ability can be used like any other capacity / shout, and can be found under the power menu (where you also can find Race ability for example). You can put this ability in your favorite menu.

For players who want more options, there is an abandonned camp (called Jeremiah's camp on the map) at the west of Whiterun where you can find a book that will teach you how to craft some more advanced stuff like: - Steel piquet: turns the nord tent into an imperial tent - Leather extension: If you have 2 camping Kits + 1 leather extension, you can build a bigger tent. - Compass: Allow player to fast travel to his last camp directly from the ability (you can always travel with the world map).

  • More details:
  • Pitch a tent, with a bedroll and a sitting log in front of you. Use the bedroll to sleep, and use the tent to take it back.
  • : Build a campfire, in front of you. If you have wood, the fire is burning otherwise it's not. You can light it up by "using it" if you can find some wood. If you sneak while using it, you can simply remove it. (if it's lighting up at this time, you will get back one small firewood)
  • : Just go close to a tree, then choose this option, and you gain
