📋 About This Mod

This mod adds 30 campsites throughout Skyrim along roads or in the wilderness for use with the Vilja follower mod or one of the many realism mods. These campsites were done with the idea that other travelers help maintain and create them for use by other travlers. Sort of a community campsite for travelers to get some rest, warmth and cook some chow. So I will not be adding safe storage to them.

Each campsite has a tent, 4 bedrolls, campfire, cooking fire, benches to sit on, and idle markers for followers. Most include a tanning rack or a wood chopping block or both. They are navmeshed so a follower will not walk across the fire or attempt to walk through the tent to get to a bedroll. Each campsite has a barrel with food or drink for Vilja and another barrel of food for her pet Leifur, so when you are out you can grab something for them to eat and maybe Vilja will cook something for you as well. Those containers are NOT safe to store things in. Each campsite can be fast traveled to and are already marked on the map, named "Camp site" with a tent icon.

Vilja can be found at http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/26393. Please download and enjoy her company at these campsites!

Optional add on mods: 1. Optional add on mod included in the optional files that adds 6 NPC's with 3 pets to some of the campsites. They are basic NPC's and travel in pairs with a pet between 2 campsites per group. They are set as protected and will stay several days per week at 1 of 2 campsites. Groups consist of 2 nords and a small bear pet, 2 bretons and a pet fox, and 2 khajiit and a pet sabre cat. The NPC's are vendors, 1 food vendor and 1 general goods vendor per group.

2. Optional add on mod that adds 6 hunters with 3 pets that use some of the campsites. they rotate around to different ones and spend 2 days per week in The Drunken Huntsman.

3. Optional add on mod that combines 1 and 2 so you have both the vendors and hunters.

4. Optional mod that will add bandits to the camps, 15 bandits in total though not many camps should be occupied by them at any one time. has 15 AI packages, 5 groups of 3 Bandits use 3 of the AI packs. The AI packs are set to run on 1 day a week for one month. So every monday in January one of the camps will have bandits at it.

This mod is not meant as a replacer for camping mods where the player sets up a campsite, It does work good with them by adding 30 campsites ready to use and the setup your own for when you are not near one.

Required files: Skyrim 1. 9+ Nothing else is required.

Optional versions: Campsites in Skyrim hidden map markers - Hides the map markers so you have to discover the campsites. Only use one version. Mod compatibility version for use with mods that change some of the same locations.
