📋 About This Mod
I have no plans to convert this mod for SSE, however 'Fe4therstone' has created a similar mod for SSE partly inspired by this one. You can find it here.

UPDATE
Version 1. 1 uploaded. This version adds extra activators to the Skyrim world space for compatibility with 'Open Cities Skyrim' It does not use OCS as a master, so it is safe to use, even if you don't have OCS installed.
The original OCS version (found under the 'Old Versions' section in the files tab) was accidently uploaded without the script. If you are using that version, please download the 1. 1 version manually and move the wellwater.pex file over to your script folder.
DESCRIPTION
This mod adds activators to water wells around Skyrim that will give you a bottle of water.
- []If you do not have RND installed, use the Base version.
[
]If you have RND installed, use the RND version. - The optional Dragonborn file only adds activators to the wells on Solstheim. If you want to use wells in Skyrim AND Solstheim you will need to install RND version + Dragonborn version.
RND Version - Use this version if you have Realistic Needs and Diseases installed. Using a well will fill your empty waterskins and bottles with spring water. Waterskins are filled first, then large bottles, then medium bottles, then small bottles.
Dragonborn RND Version - This is a standalone .esp that adds activators to Solstheim only. You must have the Dragonborn DLC and 'Realistic Needs and Diseases' installed for it to work. You can now collect water from the wells in Raven Rock and Skaal Village.
Wells are found in the following places...
Whiterun Market
Falkreath Barracks
Riften Market
Solitude Market
Ruined Toll, north of Ivarstead
Various Forts.
Place the .esp after Realistic Needs and Diseases in your load order.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,736 endorsements and 77,746 downloads.
- Integrates seamlessly with Realistic Needs and Diseases for survival playthroughs.
- Simple, practical addition for immersive water collection.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mod setups.
- Requires Realistic Needs and Diseases for the waterskin feature, so it's not standalone for that functionality.
For Skyrim players who use Realistic Needs and Diseases and want a more immersive way to gather water. Also for those who enjoy small quality-of-life mods that add simple interactions. Skip if you don't use RND or want more complex water systems.
